I’m proud to announce that my most recent novel, An Exalted Depravity (2016, but hey, more recent than my other books) is now available on Kindle Unlimited! So if you’re a subscriber to KU, go ahead and download it now! It’s probably the project I’m most passionate about, a sort of YA take on A Brave New World that asks what the cost of living an openly chaste life in a depraved society looks like. Grab it now, and be sure to leave an honest review with your thoughts afterward!
I bet you thought authors only existed in Stephen King’s mansion and the basements of parents, right? Well, that would be wrong! I’m venturing out into the public eye for a couple of upcoming events.
For the third year running, I will appear at the Tippecanoe County Public Library’s Local Author Fair in Lafayette, IN. I’ll have discounted (and signed!) paperbacks available for purchase, and I’ll also be giving a presentation entitled, “Why Do We Love Superheroes?” This is an event I look forward to every year, and this year is no exception. I hope to see you there!
It turns out that more people from my hometown than just my grandma want to meet me. I’ll be returning to the Orleans Public Library in Orleans, IN to do a writing workshop (primarily aimed at teens). Join us to hear some of my favorite writing tips and tricks to help you finish that ever-elusive first draft.
I may add more events here in the future, so be sure to check back.
I’ve decided to do something that is, if I may say so myself, rather remarkable. I’m offering Finding Sage for free.
It’s only today and tomorrow, so be sure to get your download while it still lasts. The download link is here.
I continue to be humbled by the things people are saying about Finding Sage. This is from a review that was posted on a book blog yesterday:
I am proud to announce that within 12 hours, Finding Sage will be available for purchase on Amazon Kindle!
Finding Sage is the first novel I’ve ever published, and I’m very proud of it. It’s the tale of people, called rogues, who display supernatural abilities. This is in a dystopian future where the world is under a global government that hunts these people and executes them, imprisons them, or turns them into assassins. The book follows the stories of these extraordinary individuals, and their attempts to find more of a meaning in life than running from death.
It’s the first of four books in the series, and this one mainly follows Silas, a young man who has the ability to tap into other people’s brains, allowing him access to thoughts, memories, and brain function. It’s not as great as it sounds though–if he is around too many people at the same time, he becomes weak, susceptible to sensory overload. When a crazy-eyed hobo named Eli saves his life, he begins searching for the man who might hold the answer to his problems, who could help him not only escape from execution, but also find meaning in his life: Sage.
