Welcome friends!
​
My name is Karl Loveridge and I am an author and artist. My favorite reading genre's are fantasy and science fiction. My hobbies include cooking, writing, and art. I have worked in the video game industry for over 25 years. The most famous video game I worked on was Twisted Metal for PS1, PS2, and PS3.
I recently published my novel House of Massan: The Edge of Time. HOM is a YA Fantasy about a young boy, named Micah Fennly, who has reached the age when he is taught about his enslaved ancestors and the prehistoric world they are from. Through a mysterious time portal, Micah and his peers are to be schooled in their prehistoric home world. Little do they know, they will be the last generation before the end comes.
November 27, 2024: 57 Chevy Poster and new purchasing options
Happy Thanksgiving!
​
So I'm finally doing something I've wanted to do for years. Back in 1995 I made a custom 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Cutaway illustration for a car show in Cache Valley. I had the illustration professionally printed on nice thick paper stock. The prints are 28" x 22".
Also, I now am set up to ship 50 prints of the poster and 25 autographed copies of my new book. You can learn more details by clicking the images above.

November 11, 2024: New Teaser Video and Social Media So Far
I just finished my first teaser trailer for House of Massan! See video here.
​
I've been on social media for over a month now. This has been a harrowing journey. I have had to overcome the fear of "putting myself out there." Doing video recordings is a lot more challenging to do than it appears. So many people are natural at doing so (and more photogenic!) The biggest obstacles have been technical challenges like sticking within the media guidelines (for instance, Instagram works best with up to 90-second clips). Keeping a short, relevant message is tricky.
​
The biggest issue right now is attracting followers. The easy ones came quickly. But you know, the trick with selling a book is you've got to be exposed to thousands and thousands of people. I don't think I'll achieve that with my Instagram account soon. ​

October 30, 2024: Instagram Live!
So, I started my Instagram Author account to give a more interactive experience to discuss numerous topics, including writing, my writing experiences, art, cooking, and more. It will be a general meet-and-greet experience.
