Gorp the Goblin is a novel series created by fantasy author Jon Ray.
That’s right, 2 years have come and gone since my last update, but I return this month to let everyone know that Gorp the Goblin finally has his own line of merchandise.

I created Book…

I currently have two books published, instead of just the one. Instead of just having a table inside the ballroom hall, I now have my own stall tent and was outside. I can…
So yesterday, I saw a very rough draft of the Gorp 3 novel book cover, “Gorp: Defender of the Realm”. It’s by the same artist who has done the previous two and it looks amazing! Of course, with any work of art and interpretation, there were changes to be made, modifications, and things that need to be added. But the…
One of the most effective and powerful tools to the modern day author is the Newsletter. In an effort to grow my own and get the word out that I now have a monthly Newsletter, I have a contest going on where I will be giving a free paperback copy of my first book in the Gorp the Goblin…
