“Revenge?” he asked.
The woman grinned, stabbing her face with her teeth. “Revenge. Kill truck man.”
“Kill them all,” he added.
The woman offered her long fingered, talon-tipped hand.
Kenyon accepted.
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
You have just finished the very first Jeremiah Knight novel. I hope you enjoyed it! It’s been a wild ride (not ExoGen wild, but wild enough) and I’m thrilled with the final product. I’ll be releasing two post-apocalyptic books a year, one in the Hunger series and the other in the upcoming Berserker Saga, which is about Vikings living in a world rocked by multiple apocalyptic events. Enough said.
So, you might be wondering who the heck I am. While Hunger is the first book in a new series and the first title with ‘Jeremiah Knight’ on the cover, I’m not a first time author. I’m actually an international bestselling author with 50+ books under my belt and have been published by a ‘Big 5’ publisher for the past eight years, under a different name. During this time, I’ve also self-published a number of books under multiple names and in partnership with other indie authors. Jeremiah Knight is the most recent of those names.
Why multiple names? Two reasons. First is contract issues. I wouldn’t have been able to publish Hunger under my real name because of my contract with my publisher. Second is over-saturation. I’m fairly prolific on my own, but because there are other authors writing in my worlds, I often release more books a year than a small press. Having that many books under one name is overwhelming to readers. So I break them up by genre and style and let myself slip into those various author mindsets when writing their books. It’s a little split-personality of me, but it works. So now, when I want to explore a world on the brink, recovering from global catastrophe, I become Jeremiah Knight.
If you enjoyed this freakish take on the end of humanity, and have time to post a review on the websites of your online retailer or Goodreads, that would be amazing. It might not seem like a big deal, but they really do help sell books online. And the more we sell, the more I get to put the human race through the wringer...or blender. I read every review and truly appreciate them.
If you’d like to know my not so secret identities, visit me at www.bewareofmonsters.com, where you can sign up for the newsletter, connect on Facebook, and find scads of novels in numerous genres, under different names, but unified by a central theme: monsters. Big surprise, right?
Thanks for reading!
—Jeremiah Knight
