About the Book

Glimrick Therrinbottom, humble bard and devoted LARPer, is on a noble quest to defeat the legendary Rogue of Bulafar—until he’s unceremoniously kicked out of his group for keeping the wrong company. That “wrong company” is Carcrash Parker: pop culture fanatic, vintage video game collector, and high school nostalgia addict who wouldn’t be caught dead in a foam sword fight. When Carcrash’s beloved Commodore 64 goes missing, the unlikely duo sets off on a not-so-epic journey to get it back. But what begins as a simple retrieval mission spirals into a bizarre adventure that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, threatening both their worlds. Get ready for a genre-bending quest like no other.

About the Book

Aquil Jones is an aspiring pro wrestler in pursuit of a spot on the televised wrestling scene. When a talent scout for a major wrestling promotion decides to offer one trainee at his wrestling school a national contract, Aquil is his first choice. But his plans become contested territory when Garrett Chambers-an out-to-pasture wrestler looking to fulfill a childhood vow-catches the scout's eye.

What begins as a competitive rivalry soon spirals into a vicious game of one-upmanship. As the pair clashes in the ring and in real life, the line between scripted drama and reality becomes dangerously blurred.

Richly written and hauntingly honest, Going Over is an unforgettable novel of the amateur pro wrestling scene where unmoored futures and unresolved pasts inform a tumultuous present. It's a world of flawed young men who both believe a prized future lays just beyond their grasp-a world eerily reminiscent of society today.
