LYNCHBURG, Va. - Nov. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- LYNCHBURG, Va. – Martha Hamlett and illustrator Davey Morgan show the popularity of video games, an indoor and online hobby different from the previous generations’ outdoorsy forms of play. The story shows a situation when the hobby becomes excessive and the promise of “Just One More Game” (published by AuthorHouse (http://www.authorhouse.com/)) cannot be fulfilled because the young player will not be satisfied until the final level is reached and his foe is conquered.

"Just One More Game" is about Corey, who is so obsessed with his video games that he does not want to go outside to play or even eat dinner. His parents, sister and friends all get upset with him, but he is determined to beat the Black Knight and win a spot in the Video Game Hall of Fame. He is cheered on by a wonderful cast of characters such as the family pets as he goes on this virtual odyssey against his digital rival, who has become a playmate that demands more of his time than even his loved ones. This fixation ups the stakes, for only victory will return him to his worried and frustrated loved ones. Resuming their lives has become the video game’s ultimate prize.

“As a Mom, it has always been a struggle to get them to go to bed when they needed to when they were involved in playing online, etc.” Hamlett says of her children. “One evening I was trying to get my oldest to turn off the game and go to bed when he told me, ‘Just let me play one more game, and then I will go to bed.’ Well, there was my title. I was inspired to write this fun story after hearing that exclamation.”

With "Just One More Game," Hamlett and Morgan make reading fun with the tale’s creative storyline and wonderful visual appeal, meant to make readers feel like they are playing the game right along with Corey.
