I want to share some information about
my brand new book with everyone. The Unseen: A Broken Mind is a spy thriller
that puts a high emphasis on action, love, and extremely complicated
relationships. It features everything you would expect in a spy novel, but I
made a real effort to make all of my characters human. There are no perfect
James Bond style characters in this one. It was fun writing it because this
book has a lot of twist and turns. Instead of sticking to one location or
central theme throughout, I was able to keep the book constantly moving in a
new direction. For people who love a fast pace and hate getting bogged down by
filler, I think this book will be right up their alley. I know when I wrote it,
I was afraid that it might be too fast paced, or that some of my decisions with
the characters might overcomplicate the story, but after reading it, The Unseen
felt like it did exactly what I set out to do. This is a great first chapter in
a series that I hope to come back to again and again. It’s more mature than my
past books in some ways, but still keeps the elements that I love so much about
Wrong, Strange Visions, and The Divide. This is an action book, but at heart,
it’s about what all books should be about - strong and relatable characters. I
can’t wait to share it with everyone on the 28th.
I’m
going to be revealing the cover below, so take a look, and tell me what you
think. The only true theme of this book is how mind shattering the
circumstances that my main character, Drew Matthews, gets into. The cover is
simple, but I think the shattered glass serves it well.
Thanks
to all who have supported me in the past. I hope you’ll all check this one out
and see how much I’ve grown as a writer and a person over the last year and a
half. I can’t say that my work is perfect because I’m always going to be learning
more and getting better, but I’m proud of this one in a different way. In the
past, I’ve felt like my books were so intimate to me that I was simply proud of
them because I could put those thoughts out there. With this one, I’m proud
because I feel like it’s good work. It still has sprinkles of myself throughout
it, like all of my books, but it’s more than that. It’s an example of how much
I’ve grown over a very short time. I think that’s what I’ll remember about this
series. It wasn’t written at a time that I was still figuring everything out.
It was written in a time when everything was finally coming together. I think
the sureness I feel in my personal life has shown through on these pages, and I
hope The Unseen: A Broken Mind is every bit as entertaining to you as it was
for me.
