I just had my first novel released this month! It combines gaming and literacy for kids. It's themed around the idea of "becoming a player character in your own life." The main character, Josh, uses the ideas of experience points, quest hooks, and allies to get ahead in his life.

The reviews so far have been great, saying that it's "Smartly paced and emotionally engaging" (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/gavin-brown/josh-...) and from "an author who gets his audience and knows his games (http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-545-77294-5)."
