Can’t Wait for Winging It?

by

Hello Readers!

If you’re as excited about Winging It as I am then you probably wish you could read it right now. (I’ve read it and I want to read it again.)

Go Pre-Order it… Seriously!

While you wait, however, you can now buy the second printing of Everdome and learn about the world that will feature in part of the book.

Will YOU be Everdome’s next hero?

S.M. Ardwur’s epic ten novel series and the world’s biggest MMORPG is a world fractured by a magical disaster and saved from destruction by a brave king and mad wizard. It is now formed of twelve floating continents with magical domes protecting them.

For thirteen lucky contestants, when a man dressed as a knight offers them the opportunity to visit their favourite fantasy world as an immersive reality show, there’s only one answer they can give: YES!

The level of impressiveness is beyond anything they can believe and some of them start to wonder why.
Abigail, James, Krista, Nicole, Richard, and Megan have to learn how to play the game and win; the fate of Everdome depends on it.
