Ryan Casey's Blog

It’s a while since I wrote a blog containing writing advice, that’s for sure.

2012, I started. Way, way back when that first novel, What We Saw, was still in production. Why did I blog about writing itself when I was just a beginner writer? Mostly because I was told that was the best thing to do.

And although looking back, I can acknowledge the flaws of that approach, I made some good friends and taught myself a lot about the blogging process to boot.

Five years later, what’s changed?

Well, I...

It’s been a while since I posted on here. Damn, nine months in fact. The fiction writing business takes up pretty much all of my working time nowadays, so sadly don’t have a lot of time to share thoughts here.

But anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up if you solely follow me via this blog that there have been a bunch of new releases since November 2016, when I last posted.

They are…

Survival (After the Storm, Book 3)

The World After series

Dead Days: Season Nine

If you head over to their...

Hello!

I hope you enjoyed reading Blackout. As promised, I wanted to launch the second book — Collapse — exactly a month after book one.

So here it is!

First of all, before I go into Collapse, I just wanted to give an enormous thanks for all your support, not just of this series but of everything. It’s especially daunting launching a new series. Although I had full confidence in the story, it’s still impossible to know how a book will be received.

To say the response has been “nice” would be...

Hello!

I’m thrilled to finally, FINALLY announce that Blackout: After the Storm is here.

Okay, it’s a month late. I apologise for that. It’s mainly because I’ve been working at getting the second book out exactly a month after book one. As well as juggling other projects, like a pen name series, and a certain eighth season of something… Yeah, it’s been hectic.

But anyway, Blackout is now here, and if you’re a fan of my post apocalyptic stuff–or any end of the world stuff for that matter–I thi...

Hi folks,

So, a year on and McDone 6 is finally here at last.

This book has taken quite some time by my standards. Why? A combination of factors. On one hand, I wanted to make sure the final McDone book was the most fitting conclusion possible, and sometimes reaching that conclusion takes time.

Also, I first set off writing a very different novel to the end product, and scrapped it half way.

So here’s the final version. The final book. The one I’m so proud of.

How do I feel about finishing th...

Hi folks,

The seventh season of Dead Days has just gone live, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!

The gap of three months between IZ5 and this release might not seem long, but it’s a pretty meaty break for me. Rest assured, I’ve been working really hard on Dead Days and other projects, all of which I can’t wait to share with you over the rest of the year.

I’m really impressed with how Dead Days Season Seven turned out. The whole thing was intentionally paced so that the dread and discomfort buil...

Seeing as I haven’t postedin a while, I thought I’d take this opportunity to share what I’m working on right now.

Firstly, Dead Days Season Seven! Yes, the seventh series is well in production. I’m taking a bit longer with this on...

Have fun reading this one. It was certainly a blast to write.

The post Chloe: A New World Now Available! appeared first on Ryan Casey.

So, it’s that time of year again.

Firstly, I’ve been a little silent on the blog in 2015. I suppose Ishouldapologise. That said, I’ve not exactly been neglecting my career. Quite the opposite, in fact. The very fact that I haven’t posted much all comes down to the sheer amount of new novels I’ve been working on. When it comes to fiction vs non fiction, fiction is my primary love. I enjoy writing non fiction, but it’s the fiction that pays the bills, so I’m sure it’s pretty understandable that...

After what seems like forever, the fourth (and penultimate) book in the Infection Z series is now available to purchase/KU read over at Amazon.

In the latest book, we jump in on Hayden’s life a while after the conclusion of IZ3. He’s beaten, battered, and doesn’t have much hope in the world. He’s not keen on the dead (naturally), and he isn’t so keen on the living either.

But, naturally, shit happens, and Hayden is forced to respond.

This instalment is perhaps different to the prior books in...
