So if you're a part of the group I would love you forever if you could take the time to vote! I'm not expecting to win a single category but screw it, it sure would be cool!

In writing news I'm just working on the last half of Severing Sanguine. I'm not sure how big it's going to be yet but as of right now it's over 210,000 words and I'm not nearly done telling this guy's story. I'm still hoping for a late January release but the great thing about being self published is I can make my own deadlines! After Severing Sanguine I'll be doing a partial rewrite and polish of my fantasy series I wrote Book 1 of before Fallocaust which is called The Gods' Games.

Take care everyone,

Quil Carter

It's time, everyone!

Time to get ready for a new Quil book, Silent Ground Part 1 is finally here and available for pre-order! And you're not going to have to wait long for it either. Even better? You're also not going to have to wait that long for part 2. The first installment is going to be available June 30th 2017 (ignore the release date it says currently, I was tired and selected the wrong damn month. It'll change soon.)

The very first fucked up book I ever made. Like The Gods' Games, this one is rooted to my teenage years. I always called it 'Fallocaust's grandfather' because without Silent Ground, I would've never had the balls to write Fallocaust how I wanted to write it.
Like The Gods' Games, it's been completely re-written to match my writing skills now (one that is actually legible), and is ready to be read, devoured, and hopefully ready to give everyone reading it nightmares. It's currently listed under gay/thriller since Amazon gives you two options for genres, but I'll be contacting Amazon (again) to try and add psychological to the thriller genre option. It's no fair I have to have one of my genres be 'gay' by default, dammit! But that's a rant for another time.

So, here it is, Silent Ground Part 1.

The blurb.

Sasha’s crazy. He knows he’s crazy, his uncle and best friend both know he’s crazy, and for a long time, they’d accepted it and loved him anyway.
But now, now things are changing. Sasha’s migranes are getting worse, there’s a voice inside of his head that keeps demeaning him, and for some screwed up reason, the only thing that cures these migranes, is Sasha’s own damn blood––which he has to resort to masochism to extract.

This is not okay; this is quickly becoming not okay and Sasha doesn’t know what the hell he’s supposed to do. What’s happening to him? And how much longer can Sasha’s uncle and best friend deal with it before they just give up on their mentally-disturbed loved one for good?

And that’s not even the worst of it. Oh no, not in the least. There are people after Sasha, two men wearing black cloaks. They attacked him on a dark road, and now these two are telling Sasha that he’s a nightcrawler like them… and it’s time to come home.

The leader calls himself Kheva, but to Sasha, he’s Master.
The second is called Kel, but to Sasha, he’s brother.
And who is Sasha? He’s a nightcrawler like them… but until he earns his place… he’s merely their unwilling slave.

Silent Ground Part 1 is LIVE!


It's out, it's released, it's out of my clingy, control freak hands and now into yours. These characters I created when I was nothing but a screwed up teenager newly living on his own with only dial-up internet and a crappy old desktop to keep him company, has been gussied up and polished, and is finally ready to see the world.

Before Fallocaust, I'd 'written' or at least partially written, three books, The Gods' Games, Silent Ground, and a book called DN Die starring twins named Sky and Perish (after realizing I'd most likely never finish that book, I decided to transfer them to Fallocaust. I wanted those guys to be seen still). Each one of those books explored a different side of me, and it has been an interesting and fascinating road re-writing TGG and SG to make them good, solid books. This is it though, unless I go insane and decide to rewrite DN Die (Oh god, dont let me do that... it is pretty damn interesting though) this is it for my 'pre-Fallocaust' books. Which is good in a way, since I have way too many great ideas for future books!

I hope that everyone enjoys Silent Ground as much as I loved writing it. It was a trip being able to go back into my head and dig up all the ideas I had for this book. If there's one piece of advice I could give for this book, it is to read it carefully.You might pick up on some rather interesting things if you watch out for them.

So there it is, Silent Ground Part 1 is out. Like I've previously said, part 2 is weeks away, not months. It's pretty much all done, and the cover is done too. I'm now working on book 4 of Fallocaust, and hope you all will join me there soon.

Happy Reading!

And also, of course: purchase
here Also available for free if you have KU. KU is my friend since I make such large books, so feel more than welcome to read it on there. I do end up making more money lol (which means I can stay home and write more books!)

Silent Ground Part 2 coming next week! Friday July 21st.

The conclusion is coming! No pre-order this time, since it's only a week away, it'll be available on Amazon next Friday, whenever Amazon decides to approve the manuscript lol usually takes like 12 hours from me submitting it, but because of that I can't narrow down time.

So, here it is, the grisly, fucked up conclusion to Silent Ground. I hope everyone is enjoying the book so far, I loved writing it and loved finally giving Sasha, Kheva, and Kel a voice. I've never been good at ending a book, I'm much more comfortable with series since I don't need to let go then (at least not for a long while). So, probably in the future there may be a prequel of some kind, since I'm much too attached to some of these characters lol. Typical Quil just can't fucking let go, which is probably why I made so many of Fallocaust's characters immortal.

Also, look for an announcement tomorrow for the physical edition of Silent Ground, it's coming too!

Silent Ground Part 2 is live everyone!

It's all done! It's finally done and my newest baby is out of my hands and into the hands and heads of my readers. I hope everyone enjoys the conclusion of this fucked up, twisted book; I sure did love writing it (well, most of th time. Sometimes I just want to rip my hair out lol). Now it's full steam ahead on Fallocaust book 4, which I'm working on every day, and of course, Fallocaust Short stories.

What are you doing still here? Go and read!

The blurb:

At one point in time, Sasha thought that just being told he wasn’t crazy would be good enough for him. After years of thinking he was losing his mind, being understood and accepted seemed like a pipe dream. But now, Sasha’s living with two men with abilities like him, Kheva and Kel Swift, two men who know what he’s going through. However, this lakeside house is no vacation. Sasha is being abused and tortured in the worst way, and the only reason he’s been given as to why, is that it’s supposedly growing his powers.

Powers that are now responsible for killing someone like them, another nightcrawler.

This is madness, all of this is madness. Revenge is sweet, but murder? Sasha is beginning to realize he’s been brought into something that far outreaches the insanity he had signed up for.

And Rob. What about Rob? While Sasha is being trained by Kheva, Rob is the voice in the back of his head urging Sasha to free him. But there’s something about Rob that Sasha is uncomfortable with, and he starts suspecting that there might be more to this story than he’s been told.

And back home, Lex and Jobe have teamed up with Ian Lariat, a private investigator, and Ian’s younger brother Nate. Nate once had close ties to Kel, and is just as determined as Jobe and Lex to bring their loved ones home where they belong. But determination can only go so far, and they will soon learn that nothing good comes from messing with Kheva, or who Kheva has deemed his property.

Silent Ground Part 2 is now in print!

The physical book turned out AMAZING! It looks awesome. My favourite colour combination is red and black so this was right up my alley.

Silent Ground is completely out now, it's gone from my hands and my head into yours. I've been hearing some amazing feedback on it, which just puts me on cloud 9.

Here is a link to the createspace page for it (feel free to like it), and it'll be available on Amazon soon since I approved it yesterday. Also, thanks so much to Christina for doing the formatting for the cover, and doing the back cover and spine as well. I don't know what I would do without her!

And in other news...

A God Among Insects Volume 1 is going to be done very soon. I still have no god damn idea how I'm going to make volume 1 under 330,000 words, but as I said before, that's Future Quil's problem! Everyone keeps saying they wouldn't mind a three volume book, and that just might end up being reality lol. We'll see, this book is already looking like it may trump The Suicide King, but I never plan the length so I can't know for sure. I'm writing this really deliciously fucked up part though, let's say certain main characters are going to be doing some entirely fucked up things.

Actually, now that I think of it, all the main characters are in the middle of doing some rather fucked up things...

Fallocaust Book 4 A God Among Insects Volume 2 is coming! It'll be released July 27th 2018.


Here you go, guys! It's on it's way. This should give me enough time to read through it (again) and make sure everything is syncing up nicely. Damn, every series book just gets more complicated with these interweaving storylines and so many POV characters, but it's almost done and it'll be well worth it once it's all finished. This book is bigger than volume 1 too, and jesus fuck, so much happens! So prepare yourself, it's going to be a ride!


Pre-order here


Synopsis (DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'RE CAUGHT UP!!!!!):


There is no denying it now, something is happening to Elish. Jade doesn’t know what is going on with his husband, he only knows Elish is hiding something from him – and that the new king’s mind is slipping.
Too bad there’s nothing Jade can do about it, considering they’re both prisoners of an insane clone named Malachy. Not only prisoners, but the two of them, along with Reno, Caligula, and Ceph, are now forced to play the insane man’s game. It is a game that could leave the mortals dead, and the immortals trapped for god knows how long.


Which would be just fine with Jack, Kessler, and Nero, who have their own plans back in Skyfall.


Meanwhile, unaware of the chaos his family is in, King Silas is still running around the greywastes and the plaguelands with Sky. He is loving spending time with the man he’d obsessed over for so long, but the O.L.S isn’t perfect – far from it, actually. Sky is showing weird behaviour, and every once in a while, none other than Perish appears warning Silas that Sky is up to something.
But Sky says it’s just a glitch, and that Silas should ignore Perish. Sky wouldn’t lie to him… right?


And miles away from the greywastes, Reaver has found himself inside of a mysterious tower surrounded by an abandoned city. The owner of this skyscraper is an old man named Bastian, who claims to be the person who’d created born immortals. Naturally, Reaver doesn’t care, but Bastian has a secret that will have Reaver and Killian stopping at nothing to return to Skyfall – along with two nightcrawlers just as desperate to find the city.

There you guys go. I hope you all love this one as much as I loved writing it (well, most of the time). And the cover too, I had fun with it... creepy fucking proxy eye.

Hey everyone!

As you obviously already know, today is release day! Fallocaust Book 4 'A God Among Insects' Volume 2 is out and about and hopefully playing nicely with the other books.

So, that means there's only volume 3 left, my first three volume book (and universe willing, the LAST!). I'm thinking that this one won't take as long to get out, but these books love surprising me so I won't make any promises. It's shorter though, so I'm not figuring so.

I hope everyone enjoys. SO MUCH happens in this damn book! A few characters I absolutely love are introduced, and let's just say a lot of shit is about to go down. That book nearly killed me during that 6 day marathon (like other 6 day marathons I've had in the past. Heh) but I'm proud of it and happy with how it turned out.

I also finally put up the Garden of Spiders and A God Among Insects Vol. 1 magnets up on the FalloShop too on my website: http://www.quilcarter.com/the-falloshop/ and also reduced all the prices on almost everything as well.

And also, if you haven't yet, support my ass on Patreon! You can get really cool shit like a hand drawn, inked, and coloured drawing from me of whatever character or thing you want, and custom 'thank you' cards, magnets, signed bookmarks, and there's book raffles every month (sometimes I get busy and forget a month but that just means I do two). And the longer you're a patreon and the higher your tier, the more raffle entries you get: https://www.patreon.com/quilcarter

Well, I think that's it. I hope you all enjoy the book, and of course, be mindful of spoilers when posting something here or on the FalloCult. I'm taking today off but tomorrow is back to the grindstone so I can get Volume 3 all pretty and released.

Okay, guys, the moment we've all been waiting for! A God Among Insects Volume 3 is going to be released October 5th.

Usually, I put the blurb in here but since I know not everyone is done AGAI 1 and 2 I'm going to hold off, but it is available on the book's amazon page. It has a lot of spoilery information in it, and I don't want anyone not caught up to be tempted to read it lol.

So, this will spell the end of a very big journey for me. This massive, awesome book took a year from start to finish, and gave me more grey hairs than all of the other ones. It ended up being huge, even by my standards (760,000 god damn words), and there's so much going on inside of it it's crazy.

And, jesus, volume 3 is indeed something. Buckle up, buttercups, this end volume isn't going to let you rest, it's going to shove you right into the action without warning and it's going to ravage you like Nero ravages twinks (I mean... Twinkies, I swear I mean Twinkies). I love how this book turned out, I love how volume 3 turned out, and I'm really looking forward to hearing everyone's reactions.

I still can't believe it's finally done!!

Okay, so here is the pre-order page for amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H4ZQZBJ and like I said, you'll be able to find the blurb in there as well. It won't be long now, the end (of book 4 at least) is coming.

Oh, and I think this is the most adorably creepy cover I've ever released. Look at that little voodoo guy all covered in proxy worms and blood, he's precious.
