Writing Updates for September 2016 — "To Kill A Droid" is available for pre-order!

Let's get these plugs out of the way. Sakuya's Wrath released last week. As I've mentioned a few times, it is a fantasy novel inspired by Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira. Interested? You can buy it for $2.99 or read it for free using your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Either way, thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy the new release.

I'm also happy to announce my next book: To Kill A Droid. This new science-fiction novel is set to release on November 8, 2016 for $2.99. (It will also be available on Kindle Unlimited.) The story follows Nicholas, a police-produced android used to negotiate with deviants — androids that have bypassed their protocols to commit crimes against humanity. When an infant is kidnapped by a group of deviants, Nicholas is sent into the poor side of town to hunt those responsible. This is not a hard science-fiction book.

If you're not interested in my attempts at science-fiction, you'll be pleased with this next announcement: I am returning to horror for the foreseeable future. In December, I will be releasing an extreme dystopian horror novel inspired by A Clockwork Orange. It's one of my favorite writing experiences, so I hope you enjoy it. In January, I hope to release a body horror novel with plenty of gore and surprises. In February, I want to release a gory slasher that I like to think of as a mixture of Friday the 13th and Scream with a bit of supernatural chaos sprinkled on top.

Of course, the schedule might change, but I think I know what will be releasing from now to February of next year. Anyway, thanks for reading my books and this blog post. I really appreciate your readership. Have questions? Feel free to leave a comment or tweet me. Also, sign-up for my mailing list to stay up-to-date: http://eepurl.com/bNl1CP.

Writing Updates for August 2016 — "A Psycho and his Disciple" is available for pre-order!

Hello, readers! So, Captives and Captors is out now. You can buy it for $2.99 or read it for free using your Kindle Unlimited subscription. Thanks to everyone who has supported the book. Sakuya's Wrath, my upcoming sci-fi/fantasy book, is still set to release on September 9th. You can pre-order it now or wait — it's up to you! And, yeah, those are my shameless plugs. Now, let's get into some updates.

First of all, I am ready to announce my next book: A Psycho and his Disciple. This new horror book will release on October 9, 2016 for $2.99. The story follows Lucas Walker after he's released from prison. Lucas, who happens to be a serial killer, befriends Dean, a bashful young man. Together, the pair set off on a rampage through the city. It's a disturbing novel, but, if you've enjoyed my previous work, I think you'll feel right at home. It's also my longest horror book. You'll get a bang for your buck. (Well, it's three bucks, but, you know...)

After A Psycho and his Disciple releases in October, I will be releasing another science-fiction book in November — at least, that's the plan. This new science-fiction book is heavily inspired by films like Blade Runner. The story follows a police-produced android who is sent into enemy territory to capture a group of deviant droids. I like to believe it is a provocative narrative, reflecting society today despite taking place in the future. Of course, you will be judge of that. Still, I hope you give it a shot. Look out for an official announcement in late September or early October.

What else am I working on? Well, I have a surreal dystopian horror novel planned for December. That book will surely offend some people, but I refuse to comprise. It's disturbing, but with reason. I've already planned the first quarter of 2017, too. You can expect a body horror novel, a novel inspired by Stephen King's It, and another horror novel inspired by Silent Hill — the last one takes place in a mall! I'm very excited to share these books, I just need a little more time.

Anyway, thanks for reading my books and this monthly blog post. I genuinely appreciate it. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below or Tweet me.

Until next time,

"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,
Jon Athan
