I'm part of this group of writers who are collectively retelling Dante's Inferno for a modern audience, and when I say I am excited about this, I mean it's bordering on mania levels of excitement 😁

Wanna know something cool? Champion of the Dead is available for preorder now.

#BookSky

The book releases are getting pushed back, hopefully not too far. An emergency medical situation is turning into an urgently needed surgery. Sorry folks. I'm disappointed too.

Crushed the edits, now onto formatting. Once that's done I'm going to need ARC readers! If you're interested but haven't read Savior of the Damned yet let me know and I will hook you up with both!

#BookThreads

One more round of edits and I can format Champion of the Dead and put it up for preorder. But omg my will is flagging. Some of these scenes I've been over 20 times because they survived every single other itineration of it. Please just let it be done.

Fun fact, if you want to buy my books but don't want to support Amazon, you can find them elsewhere! The link in my bio can direct you to other storefronts, and you can also support your local indie bookstore by shopping at The Bookshop, too.

On nothing, I'm just releasing two books on May 31st, a prequel and a sequel to Savior of the Damned. The prequel will be free for signing up to my mailing list as well.

This collection comes with the understanding that it does contain spoilers. Most of them are minor but I’ve labeled the stories within so you can decide if you want to skip any. Happy reading!

Some of the stories are prequel shorts, originally written just to fill in the backstory and history for myself. Some of them, however, are my own little AU pieces, written on particularly low days when I needed a pick-me-up. And the best part is it’s free for signing up for my mailing list!

Want more of Savior of the Damned, but can’t wait until Champion of the Dead is out? Well I have fantastic news for you. I’m announcing Asides, a collection of short stories, that will be available for free if you sign up for my mailing list!

Sequel to Savior of the Damned is ready for editing!

Insomnia sucks. At least I knocked out another story for Tales From Hell. Two down, three left!

Made the difficult decision to swap one story in Tales From Hell for another one. I like the story I swapped out, but I had to talk to my editor about some of the feedback, and we agreed that it's probably for the best to cut it for now and work on it for a future publication.

Midnight confession: I hate naming anything. I'm so bad at it. Which is hilarious because that's one of the things I get praised the most for. But it's because I spend so much time agonizing over the perfect name for the person/city/world/book/series.

Heard some good news from my editor for my next book. I should have the edits in my hands any day now. Hopefully won't be much longer until I can release it.

Forgot completely I joined the Smashwords sale. So here's your notice that all my books are currently free on Smashwords! linktr.ee/jpagaduanaut...

Savior of the Damned is about many things, but the overarching theme of not just Savior but the rest of the series is triumph in the face of insurmountable odds. Because no matter how dark things get, there will be better things on the other side.

I don't know if it would help any, but I didn't read a physical copy. I listened to the audiobook. I'm only getting through stuff lately if I listen, no matter how good it is. I think it's because I can listen while doing other things.

I'll forever be grateful to audiobooks for reigniting my love of reading.

I still have to watch the adaptations. I discovered Uzumaki mid 00s and it's definitely stuck with me.
