Luckily there are many different starting points depending on your tastes!

On Lavenders Tides for a found family adventure inspired by Pokemon, starting out with low stakes that gradually increase as the story opens up, about how governmental/corporate institutions fail us and what we owe each other as a community ~

Flesh Eater for my off-kilter version of a quest fantasy, about a group of misfits in a fascistic state and unwieldy magic, with a dash of queer romance ~

The Narrows or Baby Bird for some gnarly but emotionally rich horror ~

And Carapace for surreal, absurd body horror satire about toxic relationships and capitalism ~(less)

I'm just glad I got the entries that are in the back of each Jekua book, at least! So it's not in the cards right now but never say never...(less)

Baby Bird by Travis M. Riddle
"I wish y'all could see the face I had while reading the last half of the book. While the peak of the gore takes place in the latter half of the book, I was still engaged in the events leading up to it; the book made me laugh as much as it made my pal" Read more of this review »
Baby Bird by Travis M. Riddle
"so incredibly graphic towards the end, it made me gag. That’s how you know a book is good. Highly recommend to any horror fan."
A Fracture in the Qwisdeep by Travis M. Riddle
"A rather interesting sequel.

A Fracture in the Qwisdeep follows an adventure set around a journey through a fantastical “national park,” a setting that is both creative and fun to explore. The world feels broader and more confident this time around.

"This book is basically Pokémon for adults, and I mean that in the best possible way.

On Lavender Tides is great fun: fast-paced, imaginative, and clearly inspired by monster-collecting stories without being a carbon copy. Riddle retains enough origina" Read more of this review »

“Fuck y’all,” Sophia grimaced. “I’m leaving.”
Travis M. Riddle, The Narrows

“When he got angry, or nervous, or regretful, or—the list went on—Oliver would imagine conversations in his head with people. He’d go through what he wanted to say to them but probably never would, or how he wished he’d handled something in retrospect. Over the past two years, he held a significant number of these conversations with Noah. He’d lay in bed at night, tossing and turning, thinking about what he wanted to say to his friend. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed like a need than a want. But he never said those things, and now he was never going to say those things. They would remain boiling frustrations in his head, bubbling over, threatening to spill out.”
Travis M. Riddle, The Narrows
