Big News—I’m Now a Goodreads Author!

 

Today, I get to share something I’ve been working toward for a long time: I’m now officially part of the Goodreads Author Program!

My profile is live under Narik Chase, and it features my three horror short stories from The Curse of Creed Chronicles: The Web, Stalling, and The Hunter’s Game. Seeing my work listed on Goodreads feels surreal in the best way possible.

To everyone who’s been reading, supporting, and pushing me to keep going—thank you. Your critiques, kind words, and engagement mean more than you know. I’m proud of these stories, but I’m even more excited about what comes next.

If you’ve read any of the shorts, hopping on Goodreads and leaving an honest review would help tremendously. I always welcome constructive criticism and reader impressions.

I’ve got new ideas brewing, more content on the way, and several exciting updates planned. Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.

Coming Soon: Night Lights, the First Novella in The Curse of Creed Chronicles

 Exciting news! I’m working on the first novella in The Curse of Creed Chronicles: Night Lights. This story follows survivors navigating the chaos of an alien invasion, blending suspense, action, and the dark intrigue you’ve come to expect from the series.

We’re currently drafting the story and are aiming to release it in mid-to-late December. While there’s no official release date yet, I’ll be sharing updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes insights as the novella comes together.

If you love gripping adventures, mysterious threats, and characters who fight to survive against impossible odds, Night Lights is a story you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned, and thank you for joining me on this journey through the world of Creed!
