About Entriss Online:

They were shutting down Entriss Online, and Ian had no way to stop them. The game was his life — by day, as one of their lead developers; by night, gaming as the accomplished Mandorf the Wizard. After years of leveling up, both professionally and personally, everything he had worked for was going to end. His goggles-and-gloves virtual reality MMORPG was being replaced with Everyworld Online, a next-gen game that provided full immersion so players could experience a world that looks and feels real.

After stumbling on an unknown quest that kills anyone who approaches, Ian discovers an enormous amount of orphaned code that had never made it into the game. Moments before being fired, he checks in the code, enabling The Left Hand of God quest chain, an unexpected world event, and the frightening reality of a fully immersive Entriss Online.

Clod is bullied for being the only 9-year-old in his class without magic. More than anything he just wants a friend, so he makes one out of clay. To his surprise, she comes to life and introduces herself as Ada. Ada doesn’t last for very long, at first. Each chapter is a different year of their life. As time progresses, Clod gets better at sculpting Ada, she lasts longer, they become close friends, and occasionally get into some trouble. This novella tells the entirety of Clod’s life in 10 chapters, from age 9 to 57.

Clod Makes A Friend is a readable fantasy for all ages who enjoy adventure, magic, humor, and cake.

Author's Note: Several teachers asked if I would post a reading of my book to YouTube. I'm planning to share a new chapter every few weeks. (They take me awhile to record and edit.)

While I enjoyed reading to my own kids, it's pretty obvious I'm not a professional narrator. You can find the official audiobook fantasy, performed by the incredible Wayne Farrell, at the links below.

I talked my best friend Cristi into taking the stairs in thigh high boots at Visioncon 2015 in Branson, MO. I don't think she enjoyed it as much as I did. 😉

Her chainmaille and platform boots is a fantasy costume based on amazon warriors known as Berfemmian in the Angst series of fantasy novels.
