Erin Ampersand brings Time to Play to the Possumtown Book Festival

Macmillan's author tour page lists Erin Ampersand's Possumtown Book Festival appearance for Time to Play on August 29, 2026.

Erin Ampersand's Time to Play , the first book in the Apocalypse Parenting LitRPG series, has a Possumtown Book Festival appearance on Saturday, August 29. Macmillan's official tour page lists the event as a discussion and signing at 1 p.m. at 501 Main Street in Columbus, Mississippi. A LitRPG series with a

family-sized premise The book begins with Meghan Moretti's ordinary evening turning into an alien reality show. When electrical systems fail and dangerous creatures appear, Meghan's first instinct is to protect her children; the series then builds its progression-game mechanics around that family problem rather than

treating the apocalypse as a solo power fantasy. Macmillan describes Time to Play as the opening volume of the series, and the cover keeps its tone clear: bright colour, game-like typography, and a playful visual language alongside the survival stakes. Readers who enjoy LitRPG can use the festival conversation as a

low-pressure way to meet the author and learn where the wider series begins.
