An Exclusive First Look: The Cover for Protocol Heresy
Get the first look at my next book, read the professional review for Apostate, and join a new community for misfit readers!
As a valued subscriber, you are part of my inner circle, and I wanted to share this with you first. After weeks of collaboration with my brilliant designer, I’m thrilled to reveal the official cover for my next book, Protocol Heresy: The Limp in the Code, coming this November!
Seeing the world of Elias and Jacob brought to life in this stunning image is an incredible feeling. This story is a fast-paced military sci-fi thriller that explores the cost of a hidden life, the nature of consciousness, and the unbreakable bond between two unlikely soldiers fighting a war in the shadows. I can't wait for you to read it.
The book is now available for pre-order, and every pre-order makes a huge difference for an indie author.
Some Incredible News for Apostate!
I’ve been nervously awaiting the first professional review for Apostate: The First Heresy, and I was absolutely floored when the verdict came in from the respected team at IndieReader. They not only compared the world to Orwell's 1984, but they also left this incredible review:
An Invitation: Introducing The Misfit's Hearth
As you know, I love stories about outsiders and rebels. To celebrate that, I’ve started a brand new, free weekly newsletter called The Misfit's Hearth.
Every Friday, I curate three of the best indie books I can find that feature our favorite themes: found family, misfits, seekers, and the quiet rebellions of the human heart. It’s a way for us to discover hidden gems and champion the authors who write them. I’d be honored if you’d join our growing community.
What I'm Reading Now
On a personal note, I just finished reading Dominion by Addie Citchens, and I can't stop thinking about it. It’s a powerful, dark family drama set in Mississippi, centered on a tyrannical Baptist minister whose secrets threaten to destroy his family and his community. If you appreciate stories that unflinchingly explore the shadows of faith, power, and the human heart—themes that are very close to my own work—I highly recommend you pick this one up. I will be posting a TikTok review on this amazing debut soon!
Thank you again for being on this journey with me. You are the reason I write.
Warmly,
C.J. Loveman
