Friends! I have been waiting to make this post. I’ve spent the last few days doing all the final things necessary to load the first Sevina Gate novella onto KDP and hit that big red publish button. Okay, the button isn’t actually red, but … you know. Not the point.
After some discussion, Derrick and I decided to skip all the hype and stuff we’re supposed to do for a release, and just quietly publish our novella. That means we’re no longer being quiet about it. Dirty Synth, Sevina Gate 1 ebook went live this afternoon. That also means it will be available on KindleUnlimited, for those who partake.
Yes, I’m aware of the AI book buddy BS that Amazon has implemented. No, I don’t like it, but authors don’t have a choice to opt out of it, and I’m not willing to pull my titles and start over. It sucks I have to make that call, but here we are. No, I don’t support AI, but at this point, I have to deal with it, at least for now.
Anyway, I digress. This is a day for celebrating. This novella has been a long time coming. A lot of life has happened since we decided to give it a go. It has taken longer than we expected and wanted. But it did happen and we are so excited.
So what is Sevina Gate? First, it’s a novella series. Each novella follows different characters who are all intertwined in the bigger picture. The setting? A world that has been piecing itself together after a mysterious and catastrophic event flooded the planet with violent and chaotic creatures, an event that destroyed technology, society, and the ecology. This story has fantasy elements and races, dystopian vibes, and a touch of a scrap punk aesthetic. Oh, and the stories are spicy. Most of them. That’s not the whole point, though, the story is pretty deep, too.
Y’all, check it out!
