All stories have a beginning and an end. Mine isn’t over, and where I’ve chosen to begin may seem strange to some. A defeat and a lesson, perhaps the most important lesson I had to learn, mark the beginning I’ve chosen.
C.E.P. Osbourne
C.E.P. Osbourne is a LitRPG author and... uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. I started this life in a small Illinois town, was an Army Brat, and eventually joined the Army myself for a tour of duty. For the last thirty years I've been a registered nurse, that's how I pay my bills! I'm an insatiable reader, and I finally gave in and decided to try my hand at writing. I try to practice stoicism, real OG stoicism, not the fad bro-stoicism going around, and strive for virtue. I have a deep and abiding love for the natural world and may have strong opinions about preserving it. I've practiced martial arts for my entire life, I'm a skilled marksman, and I have an unreasonable number of knives in my collection of knives. I live in a small condo in Florida with my girlfriend, we've been together since 2009, I know I know, no need to say it, with our two cats. If we had a house we'd definitely have a dog or two and probably ten cats, and at least one pet otter, because otters are awesome.
