Writing Updates for November 2017—New Releases and 2018's First Books!

Hello! It's finally time for another update. As usual, I'm going to try to keep it short and sweet.

Starting with new releases, Ms. Vengeance is out on November 23rd, 2017. The novel follows Mizuki 'Misty' Himura, an artist who is brutalized by a pack of thugs in an alley. After a long recovery, she dedicates her life to exacting her vengeance and punishing the sex offenders in her city. If you're a fan of classic exploitation films from the 70s and 80s, I think you'll like this one. On December 21st, I'll be releasing Her Suffering, a disturbing supernatural horror novel about a young woman who is sexually assaulted by a malevolent entity. If you enjoyed my previous supernatural books, like Madness at Madison Mall or In the Name of the Devil, this one is for you.

The first quarter of 2018 has already been scheduled, although I'm still re-writing and editing some of the drafts. On January 18th, 2018, I'll be releasing Our Dead Girlfriend. The book follows a group of teenage boys who discover a fresh dead body in the woods. After some deliberation, they decide to keep the body as their girlfriend. On February 15th, I plan on releasing Sympathy for the Widow. (I might change the title.) The book is a horror-thriller about a widow who seeks vengeance against the man who 'got away' with her husband's murder through an insanity defense. It's one of the most violent novels I've ever written—expect the unexpected.

In March 2018, I hope to release a novel about a teenager who is sent to live with his grandfather after a prank lands him in serious trouble. He finds himself bumping heads with the man. And, to his dismay, he finds that his grandfather is not afraid to punish him. I have a title for the book already, but I'm not ready to release it. I've also completed two other first drafts for 2018, but I'll share more when we get closer to those dates.

I've kept myself busy for the past few months. I spend eight to ten hours a weekday writing, editing, and proofreading. I spent another ten hours on the weekends doing the same. I really work every day. I am exhausted, but I'm also grateful. Thank you for reading my books. I truly appreciate it. If you have the opportunity, please take a few minutes and leave a review on the last book you read of mine. It helps more than you can imagine.

Thanks again,
Jon Athan

Writing Updates for August 2017—Still writing!

Hey! It's been a while since the last update, hasn't it? Well, here it is! I'll try to keep it short and simple.

Let's start with new releases. My latest horror-thriller, The Law of Retaliation, released a few weeks ago. It's a brutal, fast-paced novel for fans of revenge stories. If you haven't read it, you should definitely give it a peek. At the end of this month, I'll also be releasing Cannibal Creek for Kindle. Can't wait that long? Well, you can buy the paperback for $9.99 right now! If you love hardcore slashers, don't miss this one. It features some of my most detailed, gruesome death scenes.

Next month, I'll be releasing a book titled Rotten Apples. The book follows a pair of brothers, Jacob and Kevin. On Jacob's thirteenth birthday, he discovers Kevin is a serial killer. Kevin doesn't hurt Jacob, though. Instead, Kevin tries to teach him about the world in order to mold him into a serial killer. Jacob, however, struggles with his conscience. The story asks: can one rotten apple spoil the whole barrel? You'll find out on September 28th when this book releases.

In October, I'll be releasing another slasher tentatively titled Saliva. (That title will change before release.) The book follows two groups of friends who become stranded on a desolate Texas road. On that road, they find themselves targeted by a deranged serial killer who wants to drink their saliva. Sick, right? In November, I'm releasing a big book—a special book. It's about a woman who was wronged—to put it lightly—by a gang of men. She decides to get her vengeance the old fashioned way: vigilante justice. I already know December's book, too. I'll share more on that at a later date, though.

I've already finished the first draft for the first two books of 2018 and I'm working on the outline for the third book now. So, as you can see, I'm still writing. I hope you've been enjoying the books. As usual, thanks for reading. Your support has been invaluable!

Until next time,
Jon Athan

Writing Updates for June 2017—Upcoming books, new releases, and so on!

Hello, again! It's been a few months since the last update. Once again, let me remind you: if you want more frequent but shorter updates, please like my Facebook page. If you do that, you'll stay up-to-date on my latest books and musings. So, what have I been working on?

First and foremost, I just released Madness at Madison Mall. This is a psychological-supernatural horror novel inspired by Stephen King's The Shining and Silent Hill, and a few of you have already enjoyed it. If you haven't checked it out and you're interested, now's your chance. On July 6th, 2017, I'll be releasing The Social Media Murders. This slasher novel is inspired by Wes Craven's Scream and Dario Argento's classic horror films. If you can't wait to read it, it's available now in paperback form.

I'm currently editing my next book, which is titled The Law of Retaliation. This book will release on August 3rd, 2017. This is a horror-thriller inspired by Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room. It will feature some of my most brutal deaths ever. If you love the brutality of my past books, you don't want to miss this one. It'll be available for pre-order soon, so keep your eyes peeled. (And like that Facebook page so you're the first to know!)

I'm also re-writing the first draft of my next release, which is a cannibal horror novel. This book was inspired by another Wes Craven film, The Hills Have Eyes. However, my book takes place in the woods. I'd also argue that my story is a lot more brutal. I'm not restricted by the MPAA, so I have the freedom to create some very violent death scenes. If you like my other slashers, like Butcher Road or Camp Blaze, you'll love this one.

Of course, there are plenty of other books coming out this year. In fact, I'm currently writing the first draft of November's novel. I'll share more details on those projects in the near-future.

Those are all of the updates I have for you now. While you wait for more releases and updates, you should check out some of my older books. And, if you like my books, please leave a review. I really appreciate it! Thanks for reading!

Until next time,

Writing Updates for April 2017—Current projects and new releases!

It's been a while, hasn't it? Sorry for the lack of writing updates. If you want frequent updates, please like my Facebook page. Everyone's talking about it! (Not really, but I appreciate it.) Anyway, I've been busy with new books, marketing, and taxes. You're probably only interested in the books, though, so let's jump into it.

On April 7th, 2017, I'm releasing Mason's Television. This book follows thirteen-year-old Mason, who talks to his television—and his television talks back. Using the advice from his television, Mason hurts his peers in hopes of achieving infamy. On May 7th, 2017, I'll be releasing Erotomaniac. This book follows a lonely man who stalks an innocent, unwitting woman. It's a shocking story of erotomania, unrequited love, and bloody tragedy. If you like my dark, serious human horror books, I think you'll like both of these.

In June, I'll be taking a break from extreme horror, but I'm still releasing a new book. The book is titled Madness at Madison Mall (that title might change) and it should be available for pre-order near the end of April or towards the beginning of May. The book follows a security guard who must protect an abandoned mall. Inside of the mall, he finds his worst nightmares. This is a supernatural/psychological horror novel with some disturbing scenes. Don't expect anything too hardcore. It was inspired by Stephen King's The Shining and Silent Hill.

I'm currently in the process of re-writing/cleaning up July's book. In July, I'll be releasing another slasher. This slasher is codenamed: SNS. The story is about a serial killer who murders high school students and uploads their deaths to popular social media websites. It is a whodunit/slasher that balances extreme horror with engaging mystery elements. It was inspired by Wes Craven's Scream and some of Dario Argento's classic movies. I'll share more about this book in the near future.

I have a few surprises planned for the second half of the year. I'm going to continue turning up the brutality to see how far I can go.

That's it for this month's updates. I hope you'll check out the new books. If you like what you read, please leave a review. It helps a lot!

Until next time,

Writing Updates for January 2017—Upcoming books, new releases, and sales!

Hey! So, I guess this is my first update of 2017. First and foremost, thank you for a wonderful year. I met many of my personal goals last year and I plan on accomplishing more this year. I don't plan on releasing more than one book per month, but I want to deliver better books—quality of quantity is my motto this year.

So, I hope my next two releases are high-quality. In February, I'm releasing my next slasher: Camp Blaze. It's a brutal slasher inspired by Friday the 13th, but it's a lot bloodier. In March, I'll be releasing The Abuse of Ashley Collins. This book takes me back to my 'human' horror roots. It's about the nasty things that people do to each other. It's probably one of the most gruesome, disturbing books I've ever written.

In April, I plan on releasing a new horror novel about a killer child. The book is about a child who speaks to his television—a television that convinces him to kill. It has many themes that reflect society and it never compromises on its brutality. In May, I plan on releasing a stalker horror novel. My first ever stalker book will focus more on disturbing themes and creepy scenes, but, due to some of its graphic violence, I think it still qualifies as 'extreme horror.'

I'm still scheduling summer's schedule. I want to release a psychological horror novel in June, then release another slasher in July. That's what I'm leaning towards anyway.

That's about it for my updates. I'm also having a sale for the next two weeks—99-cent books! You can check out more details about the sale on Facebook. Thanks for reading!
