ⓘ About Travis Bagwell
He’s been in love with the growing “LitRPG” genre for a number of years and have devoured almost every story and book which has been published in the genre. He’s cut his teeth on “Caverns and Creatures” and “Ready Player One”. He has also branched out into manga/anime. “Sword Art Online” and “Log Horizon” are probably his favorites. After he ran out of reading material, he decided he would finally try his hand at writing and publishing a story of his own. “Catharsis” is the first novel in the “Awaken Online” series and was released in 2016. Jason logs into Awaken Online entirely fed up with reality. He is in desperate need of escape, and this game is his ticket to finally feeling the sort of freedom and power which are so sorely lacking in his real life.
