Blood in the Gray
Only on Kindle Vella
Captain Vasil Cane's death sentence is just the beginning. A potent mix of low-life marauders gather on a remote island. The plan: to wreak havoc on the colonies of Taran and reclaim their independence from King Idon. The problem: there are other people vying for power in the wake of Cane's demise. The Gray is a vast sea with infinite opportunities and forgotten treasure, but only the most cunning would ever dare to seek control of it.

A Message from J.D.
I believe there is an inherent power in storytelling. Whether it comes from talking around a campfire, reading through pages of a book, or watching the silver screen, people have always sought ways to escape reality for a period of time. I believe this occurs because after any adventure we return to our own lives reinvigorated and engaged for new experiences.

As a fantasy author and engagement coach, I blend my love of storytelling with the tools of coaching to help young professionals take ownership of their personal and professional futures.
Whether you're seeking a coach or a story I've written, I look forward to sharing an adventure with you!
