Zee Locked In
About this ebook
In the bleak, not-too-distant future, most people who could fled to the virtual reality OVR World Online.
Zachary "Zee" Jones will never be able to afford to become a player of the game. After committing a crime in order to save his mother's life, he was arrested and included in the Inmate Player Program. Even without perception filters to limit his pain, it was better than the alternative. He has the opportunity to earn more money in a five-year sentence then he could have in his entire life as a hospital janitor.
Zee is jacked into Gygax, a high fantasy adventure game world, filled with knights, magic, and monsters. But Zee quickly learns that just because the world is virtual doesn't mean the danger isn't real. Can he find his fortune, perhaps a few allies, avoid the dangers of adventuring as an inmate, and unravel the mystery behind the game's confounding sentient computer program wearing a familiar face called "the doctor"?
About the author
was born in sunny California, where my first career was in hospitality, which brought me and my wife to Massachusetts. When my son was born, I left hotels to become a full-time stay at home dad.
Growing up, I always wrote for fun and expression. I wrote my first full-length novel as part of my Senior Project in High School. Despite struggling with dyslexia growing up, I’ve always found that I express myself best through the written word.
I’m a life long nerd. The various novels, TV shows, movies, and comics that have shaped me are far too numerous to count. I’m a TTRPG player and often the Forever DM. I’m a podcast junkie (and Friend of DeSoto). I’m sure I’ll reveal more about myself over in my Blog.
After discovering the LitRPG sub-genre, I started working on Zee Locked-In, thinking it would just be another fun and creative outlet. With the support of my friends and family, I kept plugging away at it until I felt like I had something publishable.
