It starts with The Independents I:

15910250_10154863086923904_680036791_n
A Short Story that had Amazon Reviewers Angela R. warning: “Don’t Read This In The Dark” and KL Johnston proclaiming “[H]is craft for the written word shines.”

Screw the gatekeepers. Follow your dreams.  <3 Speerzie. Proudly “insulting the written word” since 2014

Blurb:

A traditionally published author decides to self-publish a new work in the hopes of igniting her stalled career. Despite roaring success, she uses lies and a fake author personality to build up a following. Her deceitful tactics come to the attention of The Independents, who have a message for her. One that may not stop with words on a screen…

You Insult One. You Insult Them All.  Then what was supposed to be a one-shot short-story took on a mind of its own and They came Back!


The second installment went live on July 4th of 2017 and Speerverse celebrated its own Independents Day!

When Ben Towers receives a lucrative publishing contract for his debut novel, it is most definitely a dream come true.

But there’s just one problem.

His former best friend, Josh, takes to social media claiming that the idea for the book was stolen by Ben. Now Josh will publish the true manuscript as an Indie author.

The controversy drives interest in the book through the roof, and although this pleases Ben’s publisher, they ask him to confirm absolutely that the book is indeed his idea, as lawyers are now necessary.

When Josh is shut down in all his avenues, the pathway to the release event is clear. Or so Ben thinks…
