It’s always good to know if you’re suspicious to the government. For a quick diagnosis, take this handy quiz based on my novels We, The Watched and Divided We Fall.
For more dystopian fun, play Watched Sweeper — an HTML5 game about surveillance!
Hey, Adam here — I am super excited to announce the release of my new novel, DIVIDED WE FALL in paperback and eBook. Writing this book was a long labor of love. It was crafted in the late hours after the work day and in spare moments of the weekend. But in my mind I was working on it always, inspired by news about government surveillance and my day job at the time reporting on the U.S. Congress.
This novel brings to an end the journey that Seven began in WE, THE WATCHED. However, for those who have not yet read that story, I encourage you to read these books in any order you like.
This is also a self-published work and I thank you in advance for your support.
The paperback costs $13.99 and the eBook is $3.99. Also, if you buy the print book on Amazon you can get the digital version for free through Kindle MatchBook! Below is a list of stores where you can buy DIVIDED WE FALL. There may be a delay in some stores posting the book — I will update this list as more stores come online.

3 CommentsOkay, so a lot has been happening behind the scenes on my new novel, Divided We Fall.
But let’s start with the release date: May 10, 2014. As in, less than two months from now. Get hyped.
What’s that? How should you get hyped? Well, a good place to start might be the brand-spanking-new website for the novel! If you didn’t already click the link above, here it is again: www.wethedivided.com.
Preorders for the eBook will open soon at select online book stores including Apple iTunes, Barnes & Noble Nook and Kobo. On release day, you’ll be able to buy the paperback and eBook from Amazon.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, let me take a step back. Divided We Fall is a dystopian love story about surveillance. An elite agent of the Guard finds out that her fiancé has become an Underground revolutionary and tries to win him back. Complications ensue.
It’s also a sequel to my first novel, We, The Watched. Should you read We, The Watched before Divided We Fall? Well, of course you should, but you don’t have to. I’ve written the new book so you won’t get lost without reading the first. You will gain a more full experience reading both, but really, I don’t mind about the order.
Anyway, we’re almost there, people. The cover and book layout is complete for both the eBook and the paperback. I’ll soon be getting the paperback proof in the mail (UPDATE: It’s here! See above photo) and will just have to do a check to make sure everything looks all right. Then it’s just a matter of getting it into the stores!
One more thing! Remember that time I invited you to submit pictures of surveillance cameras to my Facebook page? Well, I’ve just moved all of that to Tumblr, which I think is a far more effective place for that kind of thing. So, please follow my Tumblr page and submit your own pics!
Keep your eyes on this blog for more updates on Divided We Fall. Between now and release day I should have a fun surprise for you…
1 CommentI’ve got a Valentine’s Day surprise for all you lovers out there—a new short story!
It’s called “Smokers Corners” and it’s a romantic comedy. Here’s a one-sentence synopsis:
Tim loses his addiction for the ho-hum after falling for Samantha during a smoking break.
Guess what? You can read it for free online!
Smashwords – Barnes & Noble – Apple – Kobo – Goodreads – ‘txtr
It’s also on the Kindle store for 99 cents (Amazon doesn’t allow free, believe it or not).
If you like it, please leave a review where you downloaded it.
Oh, and don’t forget to check out Life Trade, my other recent short story!

What if a stranger took over the part of your best friend?
That’s the premise of my new short story, “Life Trade.” It’s an idea I came up with a long time ago, but it was only recently that I figured out how to make it work as a story. Last week while off for the holidays, I finally got around to writing it. And now you can read it right here for free!
If you use a Kindle, iPad, Nook or other eReader, you can get the .mobi or .epub version for free at Smashwords.
It’s also available free from Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, Goodreads and ‘txtr.
You can also buy “Life Trade” directly from the Amazon Kindle store for 99 cents, if you so wish. The only reason I’m charging there is that Amazon does not allow self-published to give away their work for free. Don’t feel pressured to pay — I’d be happier if you enjoyed the story and left a review or shared it with your friends.
