THE LATEST FROM JAY
Upcoming Releases
Greetings all. I just wanted to give you all an update on my coming books. I’ve released two this year, which is fine for many writers, but since I usually put out 5-6, it is definitely a slow pace for me. I don’t like to talk much about personal issues, but this...

read moreHave Series Taken Over Fiction?
Series to the left of me, series to the right. Every book seems to be part of a series today. Readers who prefer standalone novels are faced with endless series of books, from trilogies to seemingly never-ending sagas with 20, 30, or more volumes. I’ve contributed...

read moreMy Friend, Erik Cain
I just released The Black Flag, which is the final book in my Successors trilogy. It was a book that was long overdue, one that had gotten bumped in my schedule more than once to make room for something else. It felt good to get back to it, and to finally finish...
