Book number fourteen is officially out! Thanks to all of my fans, friends and family, I couldn’t have made it this far without you!

For The Meek tells the story of Sharkbait, a young man from the North Sentinel Island who yearns to know what lies beyond the horizon. His island, however, has fiercely resisted all contact with the outside world for as long as anyone can remember. Undeterred, Sharkbait sets out on a journey to discover the truth and lands on the shores of an abandoned India.

Now, he will cross devastated landscapes and ruined cities while facing dangerous predators as he seeks to answer an even greater question: where did everyone go?

As with all of my other works, For The Meek will be completely free via Smashwords and all of its distributaries (including Apple Books and Barnes and Noble). It will cost $0.99 on Amazon due to the minimum amount requirements, unfortunately.

New Book Announcements!

announcements, autobiography, Chronicles of New Eden, metrophobia, new books, Poetry, the beggar chronicles, The Godhand, writing

Hi peeps, long time no see! Since last we spoke I’ve moved from South Africa to New Zealand, started a new job and worked hard to acclimatize to my new home.

Today, I’m happy to announce three new books which I am aiming to release this year (as well as For the Meek and The Godtongue).

They are:

THE METROPHOBIA COLLECTIVE 4: MEPHOBIA: a collection of autobiographical poetry which covers the first 30 years of my life.

THE BEGGAR CHRONICLES 3: THE BEGGAR GOD: the final entry into the trilogy, we reunite with You Bugger the beggar as he faces divine challenges and amazing revelations!

THE CHRONICLES OF NEW EDEN 4: THE ARTELIUS CATACLYSM: book 4 of 7 in the series, Barsch and Alza are forced to travel through time in order to avert a world-altering cataclysm!

As with all of my other works, these books will be available for free via Smashwords.com or you can grab them from my website!

Regarding my already announced projects, For the Meek is going well. I am approaching the final chapters and hope to have it out in March/April. The Godtongue is about 1/3 done and is looking great so far!

That’s all for now, but I will be delivering more information as the individual titles grow closer to launch.

Until then, Never Lose Your Stride!

Reminder: My Books are Free!

books, Brandon Sanderson, free, no cost, price

For those of you who don’t know this, I just wanted to explain the price model for my published books:

Short Version: They’re Free!

Long Version: They’re Freeeeeee!

But Hayden, I hear you ask, how can you just give away your books for free, despite all of the time and effort it took to make them?

Well, the answer is simple: I know how much of a gamble it is to spend your hard-earned money on an unknown and untested author, so I removed the risk. Now, you don’t have to choose between the latest Brandon Sanderson epic and Be Good, you can have both!

If you like what I’ve written, great!

And if you unfortunately don’t, then at least it didn’t cost you anything.

Of course, I am only able to give away my books because they are not my primary income stream. I am currently working as a Physiotherapist in a private hospital, which earns me enough to pay my bills and keep food on the table.

But who knows what the future holds? If possible, I would like to write full-time, enabling me to bring out better books more often, but in that case, I will most likely have to start charging for my works.

Until then, my books will remain free.

Also, please don’t worry about getting half-way through The Chronicles of New Eden and suddenly hitting a paywall. All of my current series will be free, from start to finish, for the foreseeable future.

With that said, why don’t you give my books a chance, you might just be glad you did!

New Book Announcement: For The Meek

Tags

ebook, For The Meek, free, India, island, post-apocalyptic, remote tribe, ruins, standalone novel

I know, two new book announcements in one day? The author must have a lot of time on his hands, right?

Kind of.

For the Meek is my next standalone novel, set in the distant future. A member of the most isolated tribe on Earth leaves his secluded island and ventures forth into the world. He arrives at the ruins of India and finds ferocious predators, crumbling cities and a broken robot companion.

He will journey across the continent in search of an answer to the only question he has:

Where did everyone go?

As with The Godtongue, For the Meek is slated for publication during the second half of 2021. Just like all of my other books, it will be completely free to download, forever.

Stay tuned for more updates!

New Book Announcement: The Godtongue

Tags

Yes, you heard that right. I’m writing a sequel to The Godhand.

Why?

Because a friend of mine asked me why I hadn’t done so already, and I honestly couldn’t come up with a good answer.

Enter, The Godtongue, Part Two of The Divine Duology.

Set 6 months after the climactic ending of The Godhand, the world is struggling to adapt to the revelations from that fateful day. However, a group of terrorists have discovered the secret of divine destruction and are using it to usher in the end times. Only by uncovering the secret of the Godtongue can Gary, Elaine and Nadine prevent the apocalypse!

It is tentatively slated for release some time in the second half of the year, but as always this is subject to change. My wife and I are moving overseas and starting new jobs so who knows what will happen?

Regardless, stay tuned for updates!
