"Sakuya's Wrath" is now available for pre-order!

Welcome to New Los Angeles, a city modified and reinforced to inspire hope amidst World War III. Adoptive brothers Kyle and Sakuya struggle to survive in the poor outskirts of the sprawling city, abandoned by the corrupt government and ignored by the haughty rich. However, when Sakuya publicly showcases his psychic abilities, the teenage brothers find themselves in the crosshairs of a secretive government agency seeking to create unconventional weapons using the psychic genome. The agency, however, is unaware of the unfathomable power Sakuya harbors within...

Can Kyle rescue his brother from a lifetime of government experimentation? Or will the government unleash Sakuya's wrath?

It's that time of the month! Yes, it's time to announce a new book. Today, I am very happy to announce my first science-fiction/fantasy novel, Sakuya's Wrath. This is the longest book I've ever written. I'd say it's even one of my most provocative. The book was mainly inspired by my love for Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira, so you can expect some similar themes. Sakuya's Wrath releases on September 9th, 2016, exclusively on Amazon.com. The book will cost $2.99 and it will be available on Kindle Unlimited. Please, pre-order and show some support. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this epic book!

Until next time,

Writing Updates for July 2016!

Hello, again! A Family of Violence is available now! I would like to thank everyone who supported the book. It was the most pre-ordered book in my writing career. Whether you pre-ordered, bought it after release, or read it through your Kindle Unlimited subscription, I have to thank you for your support. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be writing today. Now that we have the thanks and shameless plug out of the way, let's discuss some writing updates.

You remember my upcoming book, Captives and Captors, right? I had a few issues with Amazon last month, but they have finally been resolved. The book is still set to release on August 10th, 2016. If you haven't pre-ordered it and you intend on buying it, please show some support. I've also finished rewriting my first sci-fi/fantasy book. I'm currently editing this new draft and preparing it for proofreading. What can you expect from it? Well, you can certainly expect a lot of action and a grim world. It's inspired by Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira, so you can expect a similar vibe. This new book will release on September 9th, 2016, so keep your eyes peeled.

As for new projects, I'm currently writing another science-fiction novel. (Don't worry, I have a horror book planned for October!) This new sci-fi novel is set in 2072 and it follows a police-produced android in search of a kidnapped infant. I won't lie: it's been a difficult book to write. However, I've thoroughly enjoyed this project and I look forward to sharing more details soon. I'm also planning a new horror book. What do you think of a dystopian horror novel with surreal elements? Well, it might be coming from yours truly.

I am very excited to share more details about my upcoming books in the near future. I have a mixture of horror, science-fiction, and fantasy in my slate. It's hard to keep all of these surprises bottled up, but it's also a lot of fun. Anyway, I hope you've been enjoying the current releases. If you have enjoyed the books, please don't forget to leave an honest review on Amazon - it's the best gift you can give an author. And, who doesn't love gifts?

Until next time,

Jon Athan

Writing Updates for June 2016!

Hello! Butcher Road released on June 11th. I want to thank everyone who supported the book. Whether you bought it or read it for free through Kindle Unlimited, thank you for your support. Your readership is truly invaluable. For the past few months, it has helped me overcome writer's block multiple times. It has given me the opportunity to proceed with my work, despite the lingering pessimism. You didn't come here for a sappy 'thank you,' though. You came here for writing updates, right? Well, let's get to them.

A Family of Violence is still set to release on July 11th, 2016. It is a violent horror book with a few provocative themes. It revolves around a minor, so it might not be for everyone. Read at your own discretion. I also finished the second draft for a horror/thriller novel set to release in August. I'll be announcing it very soon, so please keep an eye on this website, my Facebook, or my Twitter.

I'm currently writing the second draft of a sci-fi/fantasy novel. This is my first novel in the genre, so I've been very anxious about this project. I had a lot of fun writing it and I'm having more fun re-writing it. It's an action book about psychic powers, a rebellious teenager, a corrupt government, and World War III. It's already the longest book I've ever written. You can expect a full announcement sometime next month.

I have plenty of books planned for the next 9 months or so. I just finished writing the first draft for a body horror novel. While I let it rest at the back of mind, I'm planning a new novel. I'm a bit stumped, though. I have an idea for another extreme horror novel, but I have the urge to write another fantasy story. I will be outlining something over the next few days/weeks. That's all I know for certain.

Anyway, thank you for reading. I'll have more updates soon and all that good stuff. Also, look out for a sale on some of my books later this week.

Until next time,
Jon Athan
