✨YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUDDENCE is now available for purchase!!✨

While Suddence has been free-to-read online for a while now, perhaps you prefer the comfort and convenience of an e-book or physical book. Now, you can have exactly that!

You can find Suddence on a number of vendors, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and more!

Plus, if you order between now and May 19th, you will receive some extra goodies!

If you purchase an e-book, you will receive a digital advanced look at the bonus comic, THE RABBIT INCIDENT, and a high-quality version of Suddence's back cover, which has woefully been covered up by the blurb and ISBN.

If you purchase a paperback, you will receive these pretty stickers and a print of the back cover.

The goodies will also be available to purchase on Etsy*!

To receive these gifts, please fill out this Google form! The gifts will be sent out in batches, so don't worry if you don't receive them right away!

There will also be a giveaway announcement in a bit! Keep an eye out for that 👀

As usual, reblogs are appreciated! The very existence of links in this post means it most likely won't show up in the writeblr tags.

Notes below the cut:

*To be uploaded in the coming days! E-book goodies will be $5 CAD, and paperback goodies will be $10 CAD.

Also, as a general note, this is my first time creating e-books, and I used Draft2Digital's automatic formatting software to create them. If you notice any egregious issues with them, please do let me know and I'll see about having them fixed!

Suddence is also reportedly up on a number of online library services, such as Bibliotheca, OverDrive, and Baker & Taylor! Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with online library services. I've checked OverDrive and was told the book was not available despite it technically existing on there.

If you live in/around Vancouver BC, I will be at VanCAF on May 18th and 19th with some copies of this book (with the freebies too)! If you want to bypass the shipping fee or you just want to see cool art, come on down! It's a free event :^D

☆ You Are Now Entering Suddence: A Re-Intro ☆

Suddence. The town where she grew up. The town where I was born. The town I’m trying to reach. The town I need to reach.

Where did my power come from? How did it happen? Maybe I’ll find answers there. Maybe I won’t. But I need to try to get there. It’s the least I can do.

Eleven-year-old Dany has been on the run with their caretaker Marisa for two years--on the run from people who want to cut Dany apart and take their superpower.

But now Marisa is dead, and consumed by grief, Dany only has one goal: to reach the small town of Suddence, a place holding secrets, answers, and most importantly, closure. With the help of recent college dropout Zahira, the duo embark on their strange little road trip.

But there's something Dany isn't telling Zahira, and it's a secret that will change everything.

Genre: Drama, Sci-fi

Demographic: Young Adult

Themes: Childhood, grief, hope and healing

Comp Titles: Logan meets I Am Not Okay With This

POV: First person present tense; dual timeline

Setting: 2000s Canada

Status: Editing; prepping for critique

Word Count: ~50k

CHARACTERS:

Dany: main character, 11-years-old, tough but young, has one very singular goal to reach Suddence and is trying very hard to not get distracted by frivolous things like friendship.

Zahira: mid-twenties, med student, life is in shambles but will do anything to help and protect Dany (despite being a stranger, and despite complaining all the time).

Marisa: early-thirties, Dany's caretaker, calm and suave, has strong resolve to get Dany out of the country

Them (with a capital T): the bad guys, led by Dr. Heed. Also includes Lilian, Marisa's foe...or friend? Or something else entirely?

i didn't like the singular word title of "Suddence" (too vague, not interesting) and i was watching I Am Not Okay With This at the time and liked the idea of a long title, so the title became "You Are Now Entering Suddence" (now you know suddence is a place! evokes the sense of road trip and mystery! what is in suddence and why are we going there?)

As someone bad at titles. Please tell me how you got the title of your WIPs! I wanna hear the stories

As promised, here's @em-dashes novella, YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUDDENCE!

Thank you SO much for sending me the cover Em. It was an absolute treat to do a book this cute 💙💚🧡

Have any of my followers/mutuals written books they'd like me to turn into miniatures and put on my tiny bookshelf?

If you reblog this with the front cover, back cover, and spine like this:

and how many inches or centimeters tall it is, I'll put it on the tiny shelves and tag you when it's done!

[suddence]

A is for AARON

I climb to the driver’s side and roll down the window. “He sounds like a douchebag.”

Zahira frowns at me. “Where’d you learn that word?”

From Marisa. But I say, “TV.”

“Don’t you know it’s a bad word?”

“What’s the deal with Aaron?”

She hawks a laugh and noticeably doesn’t answer.

✨YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUDDENCE is my upcoming sci-fi drama novel.✨

HEY so i have SUDDENCE online for free to read already, but i was wondering if yall think it would be good to also have it available as an e-book. i've been tentative about having an e-book because i wouldn't have control over the fonts and formatting that much, which i do think are Part Of The Experience™, but i also know e-books are easier to read and have a wider reach than a random google site that doesn't even show up on google when you search "you are now entering suddence" lol.

if i did do e-books, i'd probably not charge that much for it. maybe like $2.99 CAD. the physical i'm planning to be $19.99 CAD (don't ask me why it's not just a nice whole $20. the 99 cents makes it look more legit or something).
