Hello everybody, I have decided since it is complete, to make the 3rd edition of "The False Paradise" available to read for free on both Wattpad and Inkitt. You can find it in the stories section of my profile. If you enjoy the book, please make sure to leave a review. In addition, pre-orders for the paid version of the book will become available on March 28th, and the book will launch in paid form on April 28th. The book will be available on Apple Books and Amazon Kindle for $4.99 USD. Whilst it isn't a requirement, if you enjoy the book, I would ask that you please consider purchasing a copy, as the funds gained from said purchase (minus taxes and the cut the stores take, you know how that stuff works) go directly towards allowing me to fund what I love to do as a horror writer, and the support is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm coming on to make a quick update to let you all know that the updated 3rd Edition version of The False Paradise has been moved from a Febuary release to an April one. This to give me a little extra time to make sure it's as good as I can make it for you all. I've been hard at work on this new bigger version of the book every single day, and I'm excited for you to read it.

In addition, I would like to add that starting with this edition of the book, it will be available for sale on both Amazon's Kindle platform, and Google Books. Across the board, the target selling price will be $4.99.

Hey everyone, I wanted to start the new year off by making a little bit of an announcement. The 3rd edition of The False Paradise is turning out to be one of the biggest updates to the story thus far (manuscript was bumped up from 51 pages to 89 as of yesterday) meaning when it gets published in February, it’s going to be similar and yet also like an entirely new book.

Additionally I’d like to add that whilst it was originally my intention to make all of my books freely available to everyone, that is unfortunately not a very sustainable business model, and so whilst they will remain free to read on both this platform and Wattpad, their will be an option to purchase the book(s) if you wish too on Apple Books and hopefully other platforms like Kindle in the near future for what I hope will be a fair price, based on market trends and stuff of that nature.

Hope you all have a happy new year and I look forward to sharing this massive update to The False Paradise at the end of next month.

I’ve taken a little bit of a break from writing for a while, but I am getting back into the swing of things and working on the draft for my next book, “Anomaly House.”

Also, You will continue to receive occasional refinement updates for “The False Paradise” as I or other people continue to find errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting, etc. That were missed or overlooked in previous updates.

Hello everybody, I'm here with a bit of an announcement. On the side of writing, I am also a music producer, and I have just released my first ever dubstep inspired album. It's a 9 track album titled "Cult." I spend a lot of time working on the mixing and, making sure everything sounded the way I wanted it too. All in all, it's not perfect, but I'm very happy with how it came out, and if anybody is interested, you can listen to it here https://soundcloud.com/kolorfulshapesmusic/sets/cult or here https://kolorfulshapes.bandcamp.com/album/cult



On Bandcamp I set my play limit to "Unlimited" so it is not actually necessary for you to pay the $10 to purchase the album. If you do decide that you like it enough to buy it though, the support from that is always greatly appreciated. The first track of the album "Asylum" is available as a "Soundcloud Exclusive" free single. You will notice that it has it's own seperate artwork.


As far as updates on my next book are concerned, I am currently in the middle of drafting the first chapter of the book. I've gotten about 1,000 words done so far. More updates will be coming "Soon."

Hello everybody, I am actively working on my next book "Anomaly House" and although it's way too early for me to give a release date, I can say that I am working very diligently to make this story the best that it can be. My goal as a writer is for each new story I come up with to out do the last. In the meantime, whilst I work on that book in the background, you will continue to receive the occasional refinement updates for "The False Paradise" as I continue to correct any unaccounted for errors.

Hello everybody. I hope you all continue to enjoy The False Paradise, as it continues to receive occasional updates to fix errors I may have accidentally missed. I cannot provide any dates in terms of when my next story will come out, but do know that I am working on it behind the scenes, and am working as hard as I can to make it an even better story than The False Paradise. I just don’t want to rush myself, so you may have to wait a while before you get it. I will provide periodic updates though. Stuff like “finished the rough draft, now onto the first self edit.”

Hello everybody. I would first like to start off by thanking everybody who has been adding "The False Paradise" to their reading lists. The interest in my short horror debut is really exciting for me to see, and I certainly hope the story I came up with does not disappoint. I'm going to take a little break from writing, maybe about a month or two, and then I am starting the research phase for my next literary project. Whether it's a novella or a novel has not been determined yet, but I do know that this new story will be called "Anomaly House" and it is inspired by some of the stories I've enjoyed over the years at the r/nosleep subreddit on Reddit.
