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

I don't know who needs to hear this...
But writing a book often requires a leap of faith. You will spend so many grueling hours working on something with no guarantee it'll ever get picked up by a publisher. I'd seen that firsthand as I battled to land a literary agent for nearly a decade. When I signed with my agent for SKY
