AMONG SERPENTS is out today!

AMONG SERPENTS is officially out today!

Thank you, readers, for being so willing to join my crew. Getting published was my personal class-six gorgantaun—a giant metal-scaled beast that would seemingly be impossible to take down.

But it happened.

Now, a year after SKY’S END’s release, I get to savor the journey all over again with book two of the Above the Black trilogy.

I invite you back on the skyship Gladian. The journey ahead will likely be treacherous, and filled with monsters, and probably a fair number of battles, too. But I hope you find warmth in the humming corridors of the ship, and among a found family that have each other’s backs—even in the face of island-destroying beasts.

The Skylands are my cherished creation, but they are for you to inhabit.

“Together, we rise.”

-MJG
