《KillDozer》Hellborne

Hi everyone! Long time no talk, and thanks for staying subscribed to this, because it is helping you get this fancy message right now.
My second son was born and he is healthy, but obviously a baby. As you all know, babies cry and scream, and genereally hate sleep. So that's what I have been up to lately. I did have time to start putting a new book together, unfortunately it's not a sequal to any of my current stuff that y'all love, but it is still awesome.
It's called Hellborne and it will be free here on RoyalRoad for a limited time. I plan on taking it over to the KU program and as most avid readers know by now, the KU contract forbids you from having your books cross posted here on RoyalRoad. So if you would like to get an early seat to the show head on over to the link I have in the post-chapter notes. I'll also cross post it here.

This is going to be a Young Adult project... STOP don't run.
I know I'm known for gritty bloody fight scenes, controversial topics, fictional politics, rediculous situations, profuse swearing, etc. Basically shit that you can't put in a young adult book. So read on so I can tell you why I think you should try it anyway.
I'm going to attempt to put everything people love about my writing into the young adult format.
So will there be wanton riteous vigilante violence? Yes, just not against humans, unless they are really bad humans but even then it will be rare. I'm sorry but you just can't go around murdering people in the young adult genre, parents don't want their kids getting desensitized to murder, I'm a parent, I understand that.
BUT we can murder things, creatures, spirits, etc. Does a parent want their kid to go to bed at night and be afraid of what's under the bed? Or does a parent want a kid who reads books that put them in a mindset that when they think something evil is under their bed they wonder how they can defeat it, tie it up, and then throw it back into the void from whence it came. So there is some wiggle room in there, and there are ways to add parent-approved riteous violent scenes.

Will there be be over the top action and rediculous situations? Of course, young adult readers deserve that stuff too and in my opinion that genre is sorely lacking on that front. With the exception of books like SteelHeart but those are few and far inbetween.
What's my goal here:
I'm trying to put out a book that will be just as fun to read for a 25 year old as it would be for a 14 year old, and yes I think it is possible. This is going to be the kind of book that a parent and their child could read at the same time, and both enjoy it. Similar to that old Avatar the First Air Bender t.v. show. You have to admit, everyone loved that no matter what their age was.
Where does the book take place: World War 2 and Hell the biblical and theatrical version. (Yes you read that right)
Is the book historically accurate and did I do research for it: Yes, so so much.
Is the book historically accurate will you as a reader learn things? Yes. I have done massive amounts of research. Everything in the book will be era appropriate and accurate, you will learn things, but in a fun way with lots of shooting and face punches.
So as always I'm going to ask you to support me. Head over to the link and favorite it, subscribe to it, save it in your booksmarks, share it on social media, tell a friend about it, etc. A writer is nothing without his or her readers. This is a team effort and y'all are my team. So let's go on another adventure together.

8 96Solstice Anthology
A collection of short stories I've written over the past few years, the centerpiece being "Solstice" itself: On the Winter Solstice, the wind whispered. It roared and blew across the world, and reached even the Heavens above. With it, the great cold of winter flooded across that higher plane, and the gods staggered. They felt the golden dust of their divinity drift away from them, and the message of that wind became clear… This Winter will never end so that the Earth will.
