The Pizza-Pyre

Good to the Last BiteEighteen-year-old Josh Buckmilter knows what he wants: to level up his life. Go to college (+4 INT), get a steady job (+50 GOLD), and marry his dream girl, Harriet (+20 LUK). In other words, he wants a normal life, something he missed out on growing up.But college is an epic boss battle he's not ready for yet, not without some grinding. So while he saves money delivering pizzas in a car held together by duct tape and dreams, most of his thoughts center around gaming, pizza, and Harriet.As far as Josh is concerned, pizza is a goddess and Harriet is her handmaiden. Much as he wants to, he can't summon the courage to ask her out. But he's not worried. With a little more grinding, he's sure he'll get there.Until he gets a phone call that changes the game.In his town, a long-abandoned mansion sits at the top of a hill. Kids sometimes sneak in with their friends for thrills, and it's known as a frequent party spot for the high schoolers.Only, it isn't abandoned anymore. Word around town is, a glamorous young couple has moved in: beautiful, suave, and wealthy.Most importantly, the new tenants are hungry.And they've called for a pizza delivery boy.

Charleigh Brennan lives across the street from a cemetery. She's grateful to have such quiet neighbors, as they give her plenty of time to be creative. Well, except when they get a little out of hand and knock items off her desk. But for the most part, it's maybe not so kind of, sort of scary or something . . . maybe.Charleigh has lived an unexpected life, veering off into odd and unexpected paths on more than one continent. She misses the temperate weather of her Northern California upbringing yet loves seeing actual seasons in her present home in New England. If only it didn't snow for quite as long as it does. However, that does give her a good excuse to participate in some of her favorite pastimes, like reading, playing video games, trying new and interesting teas, and of course, writing.You can find Charleigh on her Patreon account at www.patreon.com/fairygodmotherindisguise or on her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/charleighbrennanauthor.
