I did an editing pass on Erica’s Bury My Name this weekend—loving how it’s shaping up as a true continuation of The Daisy Chain: literary but not overwrought, full of ruin, redemption, and action. Added new imagery and symbolism to The Hollow Commander, which is turning into a much longer, deeper book than West of Nowhere as planned.

West of Nowhere is here.
A modern western.
Dystopian. Post-apocalyptic. Defiantly unmarketable.
For readers who crave grit over gloss. Silence over spectacle.
For the ones who read between the ruin.
Jake’s no hero—but he’s got great taste in women who are.
The country has gone dark. Texas has broken away. And beneath it all, something older stirs.

This is cult, not commercial.

Up late working on some last minute changes to West of Nowhere. It is shaping up to be an amazing first novel. It has influences of many of my absolute favorite novels clearly in its DNA and it is something entirely new too. Erica told me she thinks it's a masterpiece. Now I know she is biased but I hope everyone else is as excited for it as we are once they read it. I have 3 more books of content drafted too!

Readers say: ‘The characters just jump off the page!’ Thrilled by the feedback on The Westerners. If you’ve read it, I’d love your thoughts too. The follow-up West of Nowhere is out October 21st.
