By Megan Cutler | July 7, 2016 | Comments 0 Comment A month ago I introduced Crystal Shrouded Goddess, the first chapter of my latest project, Eternity’s Empire.

What Gamers Want is a Rewarding Experience What Gamers Want is a Rewarding Experience By Megan Cutler | April 4, 2016 | Comments 2 comments I sometimes play an MMO (I won’t say which one, but it isn’t WoW).

Technically it’s to make up for all the anniversaries we’ve missed while moving (even though it’s nowhere near our anniversary), but for me it feels like the reward for something … Read More Read More
