What's The Best Way To Get My Book News
Jared L BarberWhat's The Best Way To Get Book News
- My Mailing List, subscribing to my mailing list will always tell you when there are new sales and where to find them, what projects I'm working on, news on upcoming releases, pre-releases, I'm very open to all questions and will never use your email or name for anything other than book news coming directly from me.
- BookBub - You don't have time for a chat, and you just want a brief notice about book sales and new releases, if you are following me on BookBub then when I update my books on there, Bookbub will send out a notice to let you know.
- I also post to my Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok Accounts, some of those accounts also offer different ways of acquiring my novels to include signed copies.
- GoodReads - I post on GoodReads to answer questions and I post to my blog on that channel.

Jared Lewis BarberHey everyone, I hope you all are enjoying Through Darkness They Will Come, currently I am working on part 2 of Wrens story. We are about 8k words into it and gaining momentum as the story progresses and unfolds in my mind. I hope you are excited about this because I am loving this part of the story and how it's all coming together. I want to give you a little peak at a random part of the story so far.
Captain Brishard was an older Captain then most of his peers, he was a Staff Sergent prior to transitioning over to officer. A traitor to the enlisted men as most would put it but it was all in good fun, since the beginning of the time there has always been a friendly war between Officer and Enlisted men, but it hardly ever went outside of that, jokes were made between the two groups but in the end when it was time to work everyone mostly stayed in their lanes. Due to him being prior Enlisted he had a unique perspective on how to operate and navigate the military and because of that he was well on his way to making Major in record time, and due to his experience is how he landed this job detail and it was been one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences of his life, being more or less second in command to a Major General was relatively unheard of but special jobs call for special circumstances and he was a product of that. Taking his position in front of the monitors just as Kasen had he asked for an update on Oscar Team, the report was standard the last known location of Oscar Team was they were entering the building to obtain an unknown item from a group of people that they didn’t know only that they have constructed buildings in a random part of the Amazon unbeknownst to anyone. So far, they have met very little resistance and for all these people knew they weren’t even there. “Keep me updated on everything no matter how small.” The team around him all said yes sir and went back to work. While it may seem a little hardnosed this is why he was so good at what he did, details were everything in the military and making concise decisions as quickly as possible in any event could be the difference between a warm home coming or being carried by six. At this point everyone on the team understood his position and the way he operated and didn’t seem to mind his need for information and acted accordingly.
Where It All Began

Currently I have published my second book Through Darkness They Will Come and can't wait for you all to read it and talk about it here. The first book I wrote was more of a test, it was a small 60-page book called Trapped and it was to determine how KDP works and how self-publishing as a whole works. For those of you who don't know if your hang up for not writing your own book is you didn't want to deal with having to find a publisher well, I'm here to tell you, self-publishing is pretty easy. There are pitfalls and things you need to look out for when self-publishing but nothing that you can't get across if you take your time and do it right. I started writing back in grade school and continued to write short stories and a lot of poetry, most of that has been lost to time because it was all on single sheets of paper that I randomly wrote on and then shoved in a book bag, or notebook which later got either thrown away or thrown in a box in a closet somewhere. The point is I had a pretty big passion for writing from an early age, now whether or not it was any good is up for debate an only you the reader can determine if you like or dislike my work. This pushed me into AOL chat rooms where we would pencil and paper rpg, where you write out every detail of what you are doing, and you and a group of strangers talk and interact with each other in a world that you all build in your imagination no pictures no video just words on paper. This later transformed into what used to be called message boards where sub threads with different worlds or places or whatever you wanted to make up and create on paper which allowed for a more leisurely way to play because it gave people time to read and respond, I had one myself a long time ago called Seeds of Theory. Long story short it has always been a passion of mine to write a book. So, I did, and I kept writing and am currently working on my third book. Currently Through Darkness They Will Come is going to be a 3-part series where Wren our main character will travel across worlds and find out things about himself, he didn't know and do things that are unimaginable. Join me on this road to writing we will discuss this book more in depth over the coming months, and I am working on a podcast that will give a deeper dive into the way I constructed this story. Enjoy and Read On!!
