David N. Alderman

13 years? 14? I lost count how long I have battled with this manuscript to get it to the finish line. I had come close to breakthrough with it a number of years ago at the same time the divorce hit, the event wiping out my desire to finish. But now, after too many years to count, it is finally done. And not only do I finally have the third installment of this series locked in, finishing it has moved me to writing again! 📝

I'm (finally) back to blogging. Check out my latest post for a brief update as to what I've been up to...

My episodic short story series, The LZR Project, is now available to read on Kindle Vella. The first three episodes are free, and from there you can use Vella tokens to continue reading. I'll be posting a new episode up there every week, with 40 episodes in total. These are all short stories (usually 5-10 pages max), and each is told from various characters' points of view.

This series takes place BEFORE my Expired Reality series, and tells the story of how the Lazerblades joined forces with the Enera government to take down the crime boss, Mr. Big.

unLoved — David N. Alderman The transport ship drifted through open space in a manner that most would deem inconsequential. With its engines off, its life support systems off the grid, and its interior showing no cargo of valuable worth, the DESEX Class 5 cruiser seemed to be careening toward a nearby planet, the ship void of

Today is book launch day! My first mystery novel, Death Bloom, is now available for your Kindle. 📘📙📕

Some dark roots are meant to stay buried...

For as long as he can remember, Harvey Elder has always known Midnight City to be a place of murder and mystery. City residents are always winding up dead, usually under mysterious circumstances, or strange, unexplained happenings are constantly occurring, lending to the rumors that Midnight City is a hub for otherworldly beings. But lately, the crime rate has quickly outpaced the police and detective resources, forcing some people to flee the city into the suburbs beyond, or become police officers or detectives themselves to help stem the tide of crime.

Disgraced from his role as an official detective because of an incident involving the murder of a teenage girl, Harvey finds himself stuck in Midnight City, forced to take on menial investigations to make ends meet, including cases of missing jewelry and kidnapped pets. But when a call comes to him about the Death Rose – a flower with mythical properties – being stolen from the local botanical garden, he reluctantly decides to take the case. The pay is intriguing enough, and the opportunity could help Harvey both get out of the rut he is in and maybe even convince his ex-girlfriend to take him back.

But Harvey soon learns there’s more to this case than just a missing flower. These are the affairs of the wealthy elite of Midnight City, and they refuse to allow a washed-up detective to meddle in their societal issues. To get to the bottom of this case, Harvey will have to outmaneuver the wiles of a group of the city’s elite women while also navigating through the strange and unexplained traits of Midnight City.

Rebirth — David N. Alderman It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Many of you haven’t heard from me – at least not on this blog – in quite a while. I’m happy to say I’m back, but my time away was not without struggle, faith, and revelations. Many of you have heard me talk about my divorce. It occurred a little over four ...
