Join me as I chat with Seth Overton, author of The Mortal Gate, a GameLit novel!    

The Mortal Gate blurb:  

Connor Wright has always had an affinity for video games. Everything from discovery and adventure to stepping into different worlds outside his own, video games have given him an escape that he’s always looked for. A new immersive augmented reality game called ‘The Mortal Gate’ gives him this chance. By enlisting the help of his closest friends, he is given the opportunity of a lifetime to make his dream come true. But, with new opportunity and the promise of compensation comes an unforeseen risk. The technology used to immerse the players has now trapped them inside with no clue how to escape. With no way to logout or remove themselves from the game, their objective is made clear; endure the dangers of the game, and face its mysterious antagonist in order to return to reality before the game destroys them.
