After a lot of consideration, Aberrant Literature and I have decided to change the name of my novel, Whiteout.
just feels more appropriate...

I'm sure George R.R. is fine with it, right?

Yesterday, Ashton Macaulay and Aberrant Literature hit a personal milestone, as Whiteout cracked the top 1% of best-selling Kindle books on Amazon.

With over 4 million e-books available on Kindle/Amazon, cracking the top 40K in sales rankings is enough to get you into the top 1%.

Yesterday, Whiteout reached as high as #31,579.

Now, we've still got a long way to go to reach our goal (Top 100, here we come!), but the traction Whiteout has been getting lately is really encouraging.

That being said, we need your help to keep this going. If you haven't picked up a copy of Whiteout yet, now would be a great time to do so and keep this momentum going.

If you have read the book, an Amazon and/or Goodreads review is the single best action you can take to help. That, and sharing the word with your friends and family.

Congratulations Ashton! Let's keep this going as best we can!

Well friends, the time is finally here. After an incalculable number of hours, The Man Ashton Macaulay and I are finally ready to unveil Whiteout to the world.

I'm so damn proud of Ashton for all the hard work he put into this manuscript. Whiteout is such an impressive debut, it's almost intimidating. Nick Ventner is the type of hero you can't help but fall in love with, despite his shenanigans and substantial alcoholism. He's Indiana Jones and Nathan Drake served with a side of your uncle who ruins every Thanksgiving.

We would be honored if you click the link below to check out a full summary of the book. And should you find yourself interested, feel free to go ahead and place a pre-order.
