Are we saving the world, or what?
The Kindle edition of my debut novel, The Silent Season, is now live! Paperback coming soon.
The Silent Season has been characterized as “a neo-noir that doesn’t pull its punches, a book about violence, consequences and the cost of conviction.”
It’s also been called “unflinching”, “visceral”, and (somehow) “philosophical”.
Me, I just tried to write something that I’d enjoy reading. Something about saving the world while damning oneself.

Hi there! I’m John, and I did a thing.
Want to know what you’re getting into?
Read a little more about the book, and about the author.
Check out my Microfiction for the age of collapse series on Substack. It’s like OnlyFans, but if you’re shy.
I also occasionally post on Social Media. Or at least, my Marketing Manager encourages me to. It builds engagement, he says.


Still not sure?
Read a sample chapter and a selection of my weekly short fiction, including some exclusive content.
Blog
I talk about my process, share insights and trivia, and sometimes vignettes or outtakes, written in the same voice as the book itself. If you’re curious about what goes on inside the page, or if you just want to sample my writing before committing to a full novel, this is a good place to do it. I’ve currently only leaned into the “process and life” part, but I’m hoping to share some vignettes or outtakes soon.

Don’t worry, I won’t send you spam or sell your data.
Even if I wanted to, which I don’t, I wouldn’t have the bandwidth. I’m doing most things myself, in between my day job and raising a wonderful but very energetic toddler. With the editing, the website maintenance, and the social media, I’m overworked as it is.
I’ll only send you emails for reasons like:
- Your free chapter or chapters are ready
- There’s an opportunity to get a signed copy, a presale price, or something similar
- The book is launching or has launched
My book is the only thing I’m trying to sell you, because I think you’ll enjoy it, as I enjoyed writing it.
