Pitch for my book:
Attack on Titan meets Godzilla and Hunger Games.
Sky's End. Book one of a trilogy. An instant NYT bestseller with three starred reviews, and now in development as a major motion picture.
It's not cozy or spicy, but it's violent and action-packed!

I'm still celebrating because this is one of the coolest and most amazing things to ever happen to me.
That burst of excitement, the squeeze in my gut, when I realized we made it to the NYT list...
Pure magic.

I am so proud that Sky's End has grown to over 500 adds on Goodreads! Especially since the initial announcement of the book only had 4 adds. I was pretty sad, to be honest.
Well, I decided to push my book daily. And now it is at 536, and it had a HUGE day yesterday. 😀

Attack on Titan meets The Hunger Games.
16 trainee skyships sent to repel the monstrous threat. 16 ships competing for the most kills. 16 ships crewed with traitors and murderers plotting their own rise to Captain.
And a growing threat scheming in the dark.

My querying journey led to 500 rejections over a decade with six books.
So, I wrote a character who would never, ever give up. And now I have a trilogy book deal, with book one coming in January.

After a brutal agent rejection three years ago that left me feeling despondent, I never would've believed where I'd be today.
A trilogy of books coming.
And look at my book's cover. Look at it! I love it so much.

Video my awesome wife made for my book's cover reveal from a couple weeks ago. It was the first time I saw the final cover!

Sky's End is my debut YA.
I wanted to show young people rising in a society where true friends are rare, and you can only trust yourself. And young people finding friends anyway.
Plus big ass monsters. #kidlit

This is my megalodon tooth. Kind of fun to think about how many cool, prehistoric creatures this tooth helped kill. And now it is sitting in my writing office.

Okay! This is awesome, but my sis-in-law surprised me last night with all this Sky's End stuff. She works for a printing company and was super happy about my cover reveal. Magnets, posters. I'm gonna hang a big one in my classroom!
