FUMES coming soon

I’ve been working on a long short story off and on for eight years now.

I wrote the first few pages for a fiction workshop at the University of Virginia in 2015. I was a first year at the time—and I was in a dark mental place.

The story is called FUMES. It’s about a young man who gets sober cold turkey in order to do what he can for his family.

Trusted friends and family are reading the penultimate draft now. It won’t be long before the story is finally finished.

I plan to publish FUMES myself. There will be physical and digital copies available for purchase. I will also be recording the audiobook.

Though I may post an excerpt here on Substack, I’ve sacrificed too much to publish the full text online for free. I’ll keep the price point as low as possible, and will likely post the full audiobook on YouTube for free a few weeks after the release.

Thank you all for your support.

FUMES is just the beginning. My vault is full and my pen is getting sharper by the day.

Happy reading,

William
