When their caretaker dies, eleven-year-old superpowered Dany will do anything, even hitchhike with a complete stranger, to reach Suddence: a little town holding secrets, answers, and most importantly, closure.

✨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

[em-dashes]

reminder that i will be at VANCAF this weekend! if you live in the lower mainland area and don't want to wait till next friday, you can buy Suddence with the bonus stickers there for $20 flat.

CANADIANS can y'all help me test this indigo link 🙏

the pricing appears as N/A, paperback null, and i want to see if that's what shows for yall too

[em-dashes]

:( damn bro i guess i have to email indigo again then. i'd assumed that the d2d metadata would automatically transfer over to indigo and they'd know the canadian price but i guess not. i'll also have to ask them to add the ebook (assuming indigo does ebooks?)

[em-dashes]

ATTENTION CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

i got a response from Indigo, and they will manually add Suddence to their catalogue at some point in the next two weeks. as such, any Canadian orders from Indigo will have extra time to claim the freebies (extra time depending on when the book is added).

[suddence]

I got so excited I tried to order the Suddence paperback, but it won't ship to Ontario! What should I do? D:

AHHHG i knew canadian shipping might be a problem 😫 which vendor are you ordering from?

i'm in the process of trying to get it onto Indigo. i sent an email to them today, and i probably won't get a response until monday at the earliest.

sorry that the response to this is to wait 😓 the only other alternative i can think of is to contact your local indie bookstore(s) and see if they can order it for you. i've gotten a few hard-to-find books this way!

[em-dashes]

Ah, yes, it's giveaway time! My first ever giveaway! Woohoo!

To celebrate the ebook/paperback release of SUDDENCE, I will give a paperback, along with freebie stickers and a mini frame prints, to one winner! To enter the contest:

✨ Suddence Part 5: Stay Together is now live! ✨

Notes under the cut! (contains spoilers):

I am so sorry 😹

Here's the actual link to Part 5

[suddence]

Icymi, YOU ARE NOW ENTERING SUDDENCE is now available to read in full!

Notes:

I am in the process of uploading the manuscript onto D2D. Will update when pre-order and purchase becomes available!

I'm also entertaining the idea of having merch for it. I currently have stickers, a bonus comic, and maybe bookmarks.

If you are on the Canadian west coast, I will be at VANCAF on May 18th and 19th! I'll have a few physical copies there too, if you don't want to deal with shipping and all that. I just have to figure out how many copies to order first...

Reblogs are appreciated as always! I love reading everyone's tags! Thank you!

Dear Dany,

I tried one of the machines at the arcade. I swear they rig these things. They got these huge claw machines set up, and I’ve been watching the kids play. That claw is definitely loose. These kids are getting swindled.

I met up with Aaron and JJ the other day. Hard to believe it’s been two months since everything happened. It feels like it’s been a hundred years, but it also feels like it was just last week. I forgot to mention: Aaron and I had to tell him the made-up version of the truth. I felt so bad about it because we messed up his car and ruined his plans. I felt like we owed him the truth. But I also know the danger of letting the real story slip. Plus, I signed a contract. So that’s that.

Anyway, he forgives us for wrecking his car, and that was before we told him we could pay for it. He’s just relieved we’re okay. Even though we thought we ruined his plans, apparently he still managed to go on that date by convincing his date to come pick him up. Two-hour drive! I think we call that dedication.

That’s what’s going on with us so far. I’m still at my pizza job. Aaron’s doing full-time now. I wish there was a way for me to know what’s going on with you. I noticed you had a TV in your room. I hope they play some good movies on there.

That’s it for now. Hello from all three of us!

-Zahira.

[suddence]

Dear Dany,

Hello! Hope you’re doing well. Life has been a lot lately. I got a job. Remember when I told you I used to work in a pizza place? Yeah. Back there again. They changed names, but it’s in the same place, so I can still see that arcade I told you about. I still think about it, by the way, you using your ~sparks~ to cheat the games. If you ever end up trying it and it works, please let me know.

So I’ll be busy working for…I don’t know. The foreseeable future. Aaron got a job too, so at least neither of us will be moping around too much. He’s doing part time at the car shop or something. Jealous. I’m working full-time. At least I get to take the leftover pizzas home.

Bye-bye for now!

-Zahira.

[suddence]

Dear Dany,

Hi. It’s been a while. Sorry. I was busy moving back in with my family. It’s just for now, until I can get my footing again. I’m not sure if I’m going to go back to med school or not. You and I really went on a hell of a road trip, huh?

I can’t really talk to my family about what happened, though, so I have to try really, really hard to pretend I’m not messed up. At least Lilian got us a therapist to talk to. Oh, by “us” I mean me and Aaron. If you’re worried we might be back together, don’t be. We’re not dating again, and probably never will. But we’re friends. Well, “friends.” We’re on friendly terms. But it’s good to be able to talk about what happened to someone, even if he wasn’t there for all of it.

I didn't mean to make this letter a bummer. Here's a picture of Poquito.

Aaron named him. It means “a little bit” in Spanish because Poquito really was so tiny when we got him. He’s a Pomeranian! At least, we’re pretty sure he is.

That’s it for now, I guess. Khoda hafez! It means good-bye in Farsi.

-Zahira.

[suddence]

Dear Dany.

It’s strange talking to you like this. Since you’re reading this, you must be all better.

Just so you know, I stayed as long as I could. I felt like I had to be there when you woke up so you wouldn’t be scared and confused. But Lilian told me to go home. There was nothing I could do here. But mostly, I think she was worried about Them regrouping and coming after you again. She didn’t want me caught up in the mess. It’s funny. This whole time I thought I was already caught up in the mess.

She said I could send letters, though, so here we are. Hi. How are you. I hope the hospital food isn’t as shitty as they say.

What’s up with me? Well. They paid me a lot of money to keep quiet. Like, a lot of money. I would have kept my mouth shut even without the cash. Shh, don’t tell them that. The money paid for JJ’s busted car. It also paid for mine. Thank god I got to her before the shop smashed her for parts. She has a name, by the way. I don’t think I ever told you that. It’s Shirley.

Well, here I am at the bottom of the page. Until next time!

-Zahira.

[suddence]

Doctor Heed puts his hands up. Not a surrender, but to prove he means no harm. I haven’t seen him in two years. That was back when I thought he was nice. He still looks nice, wearing a brown coat over a blue plaid shirt and khaki pants like he’s just somebody’s very kind, very normal uncle.

But I know it’s all a front, and I won’t fall for it again.
