It's finally here! My cyberpunk novel is currently available for pre-order and comes out on 03/29/26! After all this time, my first novel is making it's way to readers in book form! It's been a long journey. How long do you ask? Let's take a peek back.
In 2020, I was asked to take part in a shared world anthology. It was my first chance to work on anthology like that, but also the first time doing anything cyberpunk. To say I loved it would be an understatement. And of course, as soon as I started I had so many other ideas for cyberpunk stories.
So 531 was born.
Now, I had too much going on and I was too young a writer and I realized very quickly that the two stories I wanted to write kept merging. The stories weren't similiar, but the characters weren't distinct enough from one another. I made the call then to put 531 on ice.
And it stayed there until a friend told me about something new they'd seen on Kindle. Kindle Vella. So in 2022, I began my serial fiction journey. Now, I love writing serial fiction, but it's a hard sell for American audiences and I'm already writing a niche in a niche :P
But I love serial fiction. (I still write serial fiction :P). I kept going and finished the first book of 531. I wrote on to finish book 2 as well, with book 3 waiting in the wings.
So I am thrilled to say that 6 years after I first met 531 in my head, and 4 years after I met him on paper, he's finally got his own book! A lot of rewrites, some heavy editing, a new name, and an amazing cover and here it is! The Bleeding City!
And I just want to take a moment to say thank you. For being here for my first novel. For being here before. And for sticking with me as long as you do. It's a pleasure and I can't wait to explore more worlds with you!
