Brian J. Jarrett

The release date for The Desolate, the latest novel from horror and post-apocalyptic thriller author Brian J. Jarrett, has been pushed to mid-summer (July or August, 2012). Apologies for the delay, but the extra time is required to allow for further revision and ample editing. Check back here (or subscribe) for updates on the specific release date.

The Ides of March promotion for Into the Badlands was a success. 1,367 copies of Into the Badlands were moved during its free run on Amazon on March 15th. The book also reached as high as #9 in the free Kindle store’s Horror category.

For those of you who downloaded a copy and enjoyed the book, keep in mind that Brian’s second novel, The Desolate, will be released in June, exclusively on the Kindle (paperback version to follow).

In anticipation of Brian’s upcoming novel, The Desolate, his debut novel, Into the Badlands, will be available  from Amazon for free on March 15th, 2012. The free day should begin around 12:01 and will run throughout the end of the day.

This promotion will provide a great opportunity for potential readers to sample some of Brian’s work before The Desolate is released later in June.

The first draft of Brian’s upcoming horror novel The Desolate has been completed. The manuscript is nearly 45% through its second revision. Brian is on track to deliver the manuscript to the editor by the beginning of May which should allow for an early June release on the Kindle.

Walking At Night: A Collection of Horror moved almost 400 units during the free promotional period (398, to be exact). Thanks to everyone who downloaded a copy and made the promotion a huge success.

Walking At Night: A Collection of Horror will be available free of charge from Amazon the last day of February, 2012. The promotion is scheduled to begin at midnight the morning of February 29th and will run until the end of the day. Amazon Prime members can also borrow the book for free before, during, or after the promotional period.

Both of Brian’s available titles (Into the Badlands and Walking At Night: A Collection of Horror) are now available exclusively at Amazon. The reasoning behind this decision is explained on the author’s blog.

This means both titles have been removed from all other ebook sellers, such as Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, Diesel, Apple, and Smashwords. It also means that Amazon Prime members can borrow the books for free. Into the Badlands can still be purchased in paperback.

Beyond the Badlands, the sequel to Into the Badlands is currently under development and scheduled for a early 2013 release. It will be released initially for the Kindle. A paperback version is also planned.

Into the Badlands is now available in paperback.

Into the Badlands has been on the top 100 “Psychological Thrillers” bestsellers list at Amazon for more than a week now. It also broke into the top 3000 in the entire paid Kindle store of over 750,000 1 million titles. Sales have been at an all-time high, particularly since Christmas.
