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...
How Stories are Born
This is a question that probably gets answered a hundred different ways, so let me start out by saying that I’m talking mostly about my own stories. I’d wager a lot of other authors are similar, maybe most even, but I’d also bet many are different, too, and...
Have 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. ...
Nightfall, Chapters 1-3 Preview
Hello readers, I'm putting the final touches on my next release, Blood on the Stars book 10 Nightfall, and thought I'd share the first 3 chapters with you as a sneak peek before the book goes live in a couple days. So, without further pointless prattle, here is...

Book 9 of Blood on the Stars is now out! Invasion is not only the next book in the series, it's the longest one I've ever written. I'm already working on the next one, Nightfall, and while I don't have a release date yet, it shouldn't be too long before I can...

In Depth Look: Crimson Worlds (Part One)
Last month, I posted on this blog about my thoughts on Erik Cain. Erik was my first major character, and the release of The Black Flag, which is most likely the last book that will feature him, put me in a thoughtful mood. After all, when I started writing him, I...

My 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...
