Not Dead Yet Newsletter #2
Starting on April 24th, this newsletter will go out weekly every Friday.
I'm not dead yet.
I write grimdark fantasy stories where survival isn’t guaranteed and morality is negotiable.
And I want your honest feedback. Not polite. Not softened.
If something doesn’t work, tell me. If it does work, tell me why.
Either way, I’ll use it.
May 20th: "Everyone Dies"
Seven companions walk a path no one survives
On May 20th, my short novel "Everyone Dies" will be published on Amazon. If you want to read it early, you can request a free advance review copy.
A grimdark fantasy for readers who don’t expect mercy.
Violence. Betrayal. Consequences.
Releasing May 20, 2026 on Amazon
I’m giving away advance review copies.
Read it early for free.
In return, leave an honest review when it launches on May 20.
If you've already read "Everyone Dies": thank you. And if you know someone who likes dark fantasy stories that doesn't hesitate to murder characters, forward this mail. It helps more than you know.
The sequel: what does survival cost?
Everyone Dies is about inevitability. The sequel is about something worse: Who someone is willing to sacrifice so they don’t die.
I have the story. I don’t have the title.
I’m considering a few options—and I want your vote:
Here's a poll for the titles I'm considering.
Or reply with something better. I’ll use it if it’s good enough.
