Troy Osgood

I write primarily litRPG. I write (and read) for entertainment, so I try to make fun and engaging adventure stories with characters that you can get invested in. Characters that you want to see succeed.

New Hampshire. Not really. The Connected System takes place in Northwood but that's about it. Where I grew up hasn't really been an influence.

I read a lot. Fantasy, some sci-fi, and comic books. I always had a book I was reading and read a ton of comic books.

That's a hard one. I don't think there is one. I can't think of an author whose exact style I'd like to write as.

Michael J Sullivan, Shirtaloon, Sean Oswald ... This is hard, easier to list favorite books!

I don't think I've ever gifted a book to multiple people. I tend to focus on their genre and what they like to read versus giving them something I like to read.

The Brady family in The Connected System are loosely based on myself, my wife and my two daughters. But for the most part, my characters aren't influenced by me. I didn't grow up in the same worlds they did, so their experiences are different from mine.

The latest. I try to improve with each book, so the latest and what I hope to be my best book, so that ends up being my favorite.

Nothing special. Just the desk in my home office. Got some art up on the walls, LEGO on the shelves. Prints of the covers to Dragons Of Autumn Twilight, Crystal Shard and Spellfire. Some Patriots pictures. Lots of comic artwork.

I don't think I have an ideal nook. I can read almost anywhere. There's no specific place I try to go to, or atmosphere I try to create.
