THE BRIDGE CHRONICLES

Hiss Whistle Dead Release Date Announced

Gary Ballard, acclaimed independent author of twelve (12) self-published novels and a short story collection, today announced the release date for the upcoming Kindle Vella series/novel, Hiss Whistle Dead. The book is set to be released in 15 weekly episodes on the Kindle Vella format Wednesday, September 25, 2024a. Once all 15 episodes have been released, the series will be compiled into a novel of the same name, which will be available in both paperback and eBook formats on Amazon.com and the Kindle Store.

“I’m excited to be releasing this new book in the experimental Vella format. It gives readers who might not have otherwise known about my work a chance to sample the first three chapters for free before deciding if they’d like to purchase subsequent episodes. The novel is a great introduction to my Bridge Chronicles cyberpunk universe, and tackles some important subject matter from grief, mental health, online grifting, gender identity, and sexuality.”

The series/novel stars the character Shel, first seen in the short story The Excavator from Tales from the Bridge Chronicles, Volume 1.

Gary Ballard is an independent, self-published author who has released novels and novellas in The Bridge Chronicles series, a near future cyberpunk urban fantasy series, and the now-completed The Stepping Stone Cycle, a modern-day retelling of the Cthulhu Mythos.
