Question 4

Where is Book 3 of "Guts and Glory"?

Accepted Answer

Book 3, "The Diminutive Defenders of Num", is very close to being available as of February 2025. To be honest, it has taken this long to finish it because it's a very long book with lots of adventures from the points of view of many characters you have grown to love. That said, Books 1 and 2, "Dr. Fixit's Malicious Machine" and "The Counterfeit Zombies of Noc" and are both available online.

Jessica apologizes that it is taking some time to finalize the trilogy, however she wants the books to be their very best for you!

For now, please feel free to keep up to date with her progress on the series through her Facebook page.
