Hi everybody! Today is the day release day of The Knight of Iaddash II: into the Gates of Sheol, which means you can buy it NOW! Read on to find out more, and for how you can help spread the news!

The Knight of Iaddash II: Into the Gates of Sheol is the sequel to The Knight of Iaddash, so if you are wary of spoilers, please check out Book 1 First!

The Knight of Iaddash II takes place one year after the ending of Book One, where Kahsa finds himself downcast and severely wounded from his defeat one year earlier. What will happen when Iaddash’s chosen knight finds his dominant hand unable to move, and what effect will this have on the prophecy?

Here’s The Blurb! 

After a sudden defeat, Kahsa is left wounded and questioning his role as The Knight of Iaddash. Wishing to reclaim The Sword, he seeks the favor of his God, hoping to be healed.

Meanwhile, Agar tightens his grip on Gezentine as various nations gather to oppose him and his newfound army of Shadows. To be victorious, they must put their hope in Kahsa, and the Sword which lays deep within the Gates of Sheol.

The Knight of Iaddash II: Into the Gates of Sheol can be bought on both Amazon and Barnes & Nobels. As well as plenty of other places digitally including Apple, Kobo, and more to come. 

Paperback: $12.99

eBook: $9.99

If you’re trying to decide whether or not you want to buy digitally or physically, do keep in mind that only the physical version will have the amazing back cover hand painted by Andrew Lindberg! If you’d like to have something to display as well as read, I highly recommend the physical version. However, if you want to read it digitally on the go, I’d recommend the ebook version.

If you want to see Andrew Lindberg’s beautiful back cover, feel free to check out this blog post from a few months ago!

April Update: Before the Knight

I’ve not done a full update for while, so I think it would be good to do a quick one for everybody at home!

The Knight of Iaddash coming on 4/8/2025!

As you likely already know, The Knight of Iaddash is coming out on Tuesday, April 8th! That’s pretty hype! This is a book that I’ve worked on for well over 6 years, from imagining it up, to outlining multiple drafts, to writing the thing, and then editing it up! I am really excited for everyone to read this story and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

The physical book can be found at on the Barnes & Noble website and on Amazon. Currently the digital edition is only available on Kindle, but I will be working to expand it to other e-readers as well. Please be patient with me as I work on this, it seems like a simple solution but there are a lot of outlets to upload it to, and a few logistics I still need to figure out.

I hope you enjoy this book. It has truly been a passion project of mine, and I am excited to share it with everyone!

The Audio Project – A Hype Update!

While I’m still on the topic of the Knight of Iaddash, I want to share with you an update on the audio drama! Previously, I revealed that Cory Rosen and I were looking for a cast, and I am pleased to announce that after going through over 40 auditions, we found a great cast and are hoping to be able to share their talent with you soon!

Just this past week or so we had our first cast read through of the script, which was really exciting! It was good to meet everyone, and read through a good chunk of the script, and, as a writer, it gave me even more confidence that I am releasing a good story! I am so please to be working on this with Cory Rosen and the entire cast!

This won’t be an easy task though. If you’d like to see The Knight of Iaddash adapted into audio, please stay tuned. We are looking to raise money for this project so that we can pay our cast! Without your support, it won’t be made! So, stay tuned for more info in the coming months!

All Things Must Change.

Regrettably, I haven’t made much sourdough as of late. Outside of Iaddash, things have been a bit hectic, and I could use some prayer. I’ve recently moved, and switched jobs, which means I now have a far longer commute to the studio we are producing The Knight of Iaddash in. It’s not really a change I wanted, but it one that felt necessary for the time. A lot of my time has thus been gobbled up by all the lovely things that go along side of switching houses and jobs. You know, boxes, paperwork, etc. But progress has been made! I’ve also been incredibly blessed by all the people around me though, both near and far, and I hope to be a blessing to others wherever I go.

I’ve also been outlining an idea for a comic book series. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get a chance to make it, but I may write the scripts for them down the line at least. It’s got a fun cast of characters and got a few great twists as well. Oh, and I’m drafting another book as well. You’ll hear about that one when you hear about that one lol!

Also, what do you guys think? Should I create a patreon to help support my writing? I’ve been thinking about it, and once The Knight of Iaddash releases, I think I’d have a lot of neat behind the scene doodles to share! As evidence, I’ve included an early sketch of Euthymeo as this post’s header image. This was a sketch from High School, and yes, I drew him on my homework. If you’d like to learn more about Euthymeo, now might be a great time to pick up The Knight of Iaddash! He’s a pretty great dragon!

Anyways, that’s all I’ve got for today. Thank you to everyone who reads this blog! If there is ever anything you’d like to see more of let me know! I’m always open to suggestions!

Grace and Peace,

Kenny
