Guess who just finished reading approximately 102,000 words? That's right, YOU did (presuming you didn't skip a bunch of chapters)! A celebration is in order, because together we reached the completion of the second book I have ever written from start to finish. Thank you for sticking around until the end.

King of the Mountain is a particularly important project to me, as it is a direct adaptation of a story called Ridgeview Werewolves that I initially co-authored with a childhood friend (back in the good old days when I couldn't afford my own snack...

King of the Mountain is a particularly important project to me, as it is a direct adaptation of a story called Ridgeview Werewolves that I initially co-authored with a childhood friend (back in the good old days when I couldn't afford my own snacks, but also didn't have to go to work to pay for them myself). The story ultimately fell by the wayside as my friend and I grew older and parted ways, but after picking it up again as a young adult and rewriting and refining it over the years, I'm proud to have finally approached a point where I can see it finished at a quality that reflects my abilities as a writer today.

It's likely that without this particular childhood friend I would never have become as invested in writing as I am today. Thank you, Emily, for breathing life into my love of this craft. And finally, thank you to all of the silent readers, commenters and voters alike for your continued support of my work. I hope you all enjoyed reading King of the Mountain as much as I enjoyed writing it over the years.

Stay toasty,

- AJ.

Piper Cross, an undercover spy, must relive her past as a child gladiator in order to bring the underground arena to justice.

                                                               *****

Growing up gladiator is brutal. The cells are cramped, the weapons are blunt, and to top it all off, fighters have to risk their lives in public battles to earn their freedom while the lanistas make a profit. Forming attachments is a fool's gambit. Death lurks in the sand...

Five months have passed since Piper Cross chose her friends over revenge, but an opportunity to bring her mother to justice presents itself when she spots a familiar face in the arena. Ordered by Chance Nightshade to extract the fighter they call Spartacus, Piper must enter the Doubles Tournament to get close enough to make her move.

The only problem: her partner is very distracting. And his sentimentality might just get the both of them killed...
