Want a FREE copy of my debut novel TAKEN?

The e-book is on sale now through Friday

Hi, friends. I hope you’ll allow me a super quick promotional email. I don’t use my newsletter to talk about book sales often (ever?) but this one is too good to pass up:

Now through Friday (6/13), you can get an e-book of TAKEN for free.

Yes, you read that right. Completely FREE.

About the novel:

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?

I know many of my subscribers aren’t necessarily readers of my books. If you’re subscribed simply for publishing insights and writing advice, I can respect that! (Friendly reminder that you can alway update your subscription preferences so you only receive those types of emails.)

But if you’ve ever been curious about my novels, this is a perfect opportunity to give my debut ya dystopia a shot at no cost.

There are truly no strings attached. The e-book is completely free on Amazon until 6/13/25.

Until next time,
