Let’s get one thing straight: I’ve never been much for playing by the rules. Boundaries? They’re just suggestions. Walls? They’re just things I haven't figured out how to kick down yet. For a long time, the publishing world has tried to keep us in neat little boxes, pinned down to one platform, one retailer, one "exclusive" experience.
Well, I’m done with boxes.
Welcome to the Wide World Tour. We aren't just dipping our toes into the water; we’re diving headfirst into the deep end, and I’m bringing every single one of you with me. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’ve had my work scattered across various platforms for some time. But this? This is different. This is a coordinated, relentless push to ensure that no matter where you prefer to read, whether you’re an Amazon devotee, an Apple Books connoisseur, a Kobo loyalist, or a Barnes & Noble traditionalist, I am there.
I’m coming for your e-readers, your tablets, and your bookshelves. No reader left behind. No excuses.
Breaking the Exclusivity Chains
There’s a certain kind of "safety" in exclusivity. It’s easy to stay in one place, to let one giant corporate entity handle everything while you sit back and hope the algorithm smiles on you. But safety is boring, isn’t it? And if you’ve read my books, you know I don’t do "safe."
I want my stories to be accessible. I want a reader in a coffee shop in Paris using a Kobo to have the same access to my dark, twisted worlds as a reader on a train in Tokyo using Google Play. We are going WIDE, and we are doing it with intent.
I’m talking about a major new push across all major retailers. We’ve been tidying up the backlist, sharpening the edges of our digital presence, and making sure that the transition is seamless. From the gritty streets of my urban fantasies to the high-stakes drama of my dark romances, the gates are open. If you’ve been waiting for a specific title to hit your preferred platform, the wait is likely over, or about to be.
The Dark Tales Series: Melanin, Magic, and Mayhem
Let’s talk about the heart of this tour. While some might be looking for "New Earth," forget that. That’s old news. We’re focusing our energy where the shadows are longest: the Dark Tales Series.
This series is dear to me because it doesn't apologize for its grit. These aren't your typical "happily ever after" stories, at least, not without a significant body count and a lot of therapy. The Dark Tales are about characters who look like the world we actually live in. I’m talking about protagonists with deep, melanin-rich skin, crowns of natural curls, and cultures that bleed through the narrative like ink on parchment.
Why does this matter? Because representation isn't a checkbox for me; it’s the blood in the veins of my writing. In the Dark Tales Series, you’ll find heroes and heroines who are as dangerous as they are beautiful. They are morally gray, fiercely protective, and often the architects of their own destruction.
Scratch that, they’re the architects of their own reinvention.
Whether it’s a high-stakes heist in a magical underworld or a forbidden romance that threatens to burn down a city, the Dark Tales Series is designed to leave you breathless. And now, you can find these stories anywhere you buy books. No more jumping through hoops to find your next fix.
Coming Soon: The Heat is Rising
I know what you’re really here for. You want the gossip. You want the "what’s next." You want to know when your favorite characters are coming back to ruin your life (in the best way possible).
First up: Blood Kissed (Shadow Unit Book 7). Mark your calendars for June 2026.
The Shadow Unit has been through hell, but Blood Kissed is taking them to a place even darker. If you thought you knew what these warriors were capable of, think again. This book is personal. It’s visceral. It’s the kind of story that required me to take a long, hard look at the shadows in my own mind before I could put them on the page.
The characters are practically screaming at me as I type this. They’re restless, demanding their turn in the spotlight, and honestly? I’m a little afraid of what they’re going to do when I finally let them off the leash. If you want a taste of the vibe I'm bringing to this release, check out some of my previous character interviews to get back into the headspace of the unit.
But we aren’t stopping in June. Oh, no.
Coming in Fall 2026, we have The Five Faces of Asura. This project is… well, it’s a monster. It’s a dive into mythology, power, and the different masks we wear to survive. Asura isn't just a character; she’s a force of nature. Writing her has been like trying to bottle lightning. It’s chaotic, it’s electrifying, and it’s going to be one of the most ambitious things I’ve ever released.
I’ve been treating Asura like a real person lately, asking her questions, arguing with her about her choices. (Is it a sign of madness? Maybe. But it makes for a hell of a book.) Keep an eye out for snippets of this one as we get closer to the leaves falling. It’s going to be a cold, dark autumn.
The Two Sides of the Coin
I’ve mentioned this before, but it bears repeating for the newcomers: I contain multitudes. While Tigris Eden handles the dark, the dangerous, and the downright dirty, my alter ego, JK Rivers, handles the "softer" side.
Think of it like this: Tigris is the shot of whiskey in a dive bar at 2 AM. JK Rivers is the glass of wine by the fireplace while a storm rages outside. Both are me. Both are wide. Whether you want to be destroyed by a dark fantasy or comforted by something a bit more lyrical, we’ve got you covered across all retailers.
I often get asked how I switch between the two. It’s all about the music. Tigris writes to heavy bass, industrial beats, and anything that sounds like a heartbeat in a panic attack. JK writes to… well, let’s just say it’s a lot more melodic. If you’re curious about the sounds behind the stories, you can check out my writing playlists to see the evolution of my process.
Why You Need to Stay Glued to the Blog
With the Wide World Tour in full swing, things are moving fast. Too fast for social media algorithms to keep up. If you want the real-time updates: the raw snippets that haven't been edited into oblivion, the cover reveals that make your heart skip, and the behind-the-scenes chaos: this blog is the only place to be.
I’ll be posting more frequently here, sharing everything from my writing schedules (or lack thereof) to exclusive excerpts from The Five Faces of Asura. This is our hub. This is where the secrets are kept.
Do you have questions about the transition to wide? Are you looking for a specific book on a specific platform? Drop a comment. I might not always play nice, but I do listen to my readers.
Final Thoughts: The World is Ours
The publishing landscape is changing, but my commitment to you remains the same. I’m going to keep writing stories that push buttons. I’m going to keep creating characters who look like us, fight like us, and love like us. And I’m going to make sure those stories are available to you, no matter where you are or what device you hold in your hands.
The Wide World Tour is just beginning. We’re going to Apple, we’re going to Kobo, we’re going to B&N and Google Play. We’re going everywhere.
Are you coming with me?
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep an eye on the new website for more surprises. The shadows are calling, and it's time to answer.
Until next time, keep it dark.
