The Ghost and the Darkness pre-orders.
Hey everyone. I just set up a pre-order on amazon for Book 2.
Here is the link
Volume 2 is going to be released sometime in December, depends on how the beta reading and all of that pans out but it won't be too long after Book 2. For everyone not in the loop because of its size (over 400,000 words) Book 2 is split up into two volumes. What can I say, I love writing about these guys.
Take care!

Fallocaust has now been edited!
Good news everyone!
After a lot of re-reading and finally getting a professional editor, and then some more re-reading, the edited version of Fallocaust is now on amazon. Nothing plot-wise or anything like that has been changed just grammar stuff and sentence re-wiring to make everything flow better. I am really happy to finally have this done, it has been a hell of a lot of stress off of my shoulders. Though that being said, this book is freakin' huge, so if there is anything that my editor has missed, or me during my forever read-throughs please send me a message and I will fix it right away. In the next couple months once the funds have been collected I want to have Breaking Jade edited as well. And after that none of my books will be released without my editor Alison going through them.
Thank you to everyone for your support. It's neat as hell having an editor now and to be able to see Fallocaust polished up and pretty looking. It's a huge weight off of my shoulders not having to worry about stupid little grammar errors here and there. Enjoy the book! I am going to be enjoying going back to writing Book 2!
Oh and also, I just submitted Fallocaust into Kobo, and it will be availible in the next day or so once it's approved.
Sincerely,
Quil Carter

Breaking Jade is out!
The companion book to Fallocaust: Book 1 is now released and available on amazon! and on kobo!
I would like to thank everyone for their continued support. I love this book, I fucking LOVE Jade and Elish and their complicated relationship. I hope this book is everything you wanted it to be and more. I am really getting into this 'companion book' thing and I think it's a great way to fill out secondary characters and not only give them a bit of a past, but also explain their motivation for their actions.
So what's next? Right now I am currently working on The Fallocaust Series: Book 2, The Ghost and the Darkness, and after that I will be doing Reno's Book (doesn't have a fancyass name yet). Also either while I am writing them or after they're finished and in the 'sit on the shelf for a month or two so I can re-read them and make sure I still like them' state, I will be editing my fantasy series. Since that is a new series I can basically release it whenever I want so I am hoping my next official book release will be that series. But as of right now there is no set date but probably in the next three months or so? I am basically wanting to hire an editor for that book and possibly a cover designer too.
I will be making announcements regarding that book (especially to explain the plot a bit more and what to expect from it, I can say that it does have gay main characters of course) and the future Fallocaust books once I have a better idea as to when they will be finished and when I want them to be released.
In the mean time, follow me on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/quil.carter and on twitter @Fallocaust for more updated updates or to just give me a hello. I will have more up-to-date information there :)
Once again, thank you for your support, I would have never been able to do this without so much positive feedback with Fallocaust. I really CAN NOT believe I just released a second book. This is a dream come true, you're really watching this kid fulfill his dreams right now.
Sincerely,
Quil Carter

Breaking Jade release date set.
I'm very excited to announce I have set a release date for Breaking Jade, a companion book to Book 1 of The Fallocaust Series. It is set to be released April 27 2014 on ebook.
I wrote this book as soon as I finished writing Book 1, mostly because I wanted to stay in the Fallocaust world mentally, but I hadn't smoothed out the plot points or storylines for Book 2. This was a side project that quickly turned into an amazing book that I am really looking forward to publishing.
Breaking Jade tells the story of how Elish and Jade became Master and Pet, but it is also so much more than that. It is a rollercoaster ride of highs, lows and a lot of the same good horrible stuff you all loved in Fallocaust Book 1. On top of that it also sheds a bit more light on Elish's involvement in that 'little greywaste secret'. It also takes place in Skyfall, the only city spared from the sestic radiation pulse that started the Fallocaust, so if you were wondering what this place was about while reading Book 1... well good news, it takes place there!
If you're wondering what a 'companion' book is, I decided for each The Fallocaust Series book, there will be a companion book that will be released around the same time. The reason for this is because I write too much and my books are too big lol. These books will take you deeper into the storyline of Fallocaust (and from the POV of different characters) and tell you stories that I wasn't able to fit into the original series. I decided to do this after I started writing Book 2 with two different storylines and ended up getting stressed out by how big it was getting. So I decided to split that book into Book 2 and its companion book, this way I could write them how I wanted and not be stressed out that it was getting so damn big!
So there it is! I will now be spending the next month editing, writing Book 2 and picking over every single line of Breaking Jade lol. Everyone take care and for updates, excerpts or just me going off about something find me on twitter @Fallocaust and Facebook.

Edit: As soon as it is approved there will be an excerpt availible on Breaking Jade's goodreads page, and on facebook as well on dropbox.

Hello from Quil
I have been really encouraged by the positive reviews I have gotten on here and other places. I love this book/series with all my heart and seeing other people love this dark and twisted world is just a thousand cherries on a thousand sundaes.
Right now I am about 40% through the first draft of Book 2, which will be called The Ghost and the Darkness. Also before Fallocaust was even published I completed a spin-off book called Breaking Jade, about how two characters seen at the end of the first book wound up together. I am currently editing that one now and am hoping to put it up in the next several months.
My world is writing, every corner of my mind is filled with what I want to write next and what I want to have happen to my characters. They are real to me, and I love them all dearly. I hope that my drive to tell their story has translated well in the book. This is only the beginning and I hope that everyone who enjoys Book 1 will continue to take this journey with me.
Sincerely,
Quil Carter
