Good morning #BookSky! I’ve just finished #VanguardStrike by @jaromstrongauthor.bsky.social. Fast-paced action with unexpected plot twists and likeable characters. This book kept me awake far too long 😅 It’s an excellent treat for everyone who loves military sci-fi and heist stories.

Check out this excerpt from my upcoming novel, Vanguard Strike, featuring our first good look at the rippers--biologically engineered monsters driven only by hunger. Vanguard Strike is available for preorder now!

Here are some kind words from some amazing authors who read Vanguard Strike!

Exciting news! Last week the cover for my debut novel, Vanguard Strike, was revealed! Behold it here in all its science fictiony glory. If you're interested in checking it out you can read an exclusive excerpt from Grimdark Magazine here. www.grimdarkmagazine.com/exclusive-co...

Ah, proofreads. Time for some good ol' fashioned humiliation.

Frequently, and I only rarely see it coming. I'm generally an outliner, but on two separate occasions now in two separate books I've decided to kill a character that I hadn't previously been planning on.

Well, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Jarom Strong! I'm a Utah based sci-fi and fantasy author. My debut trilogy, Paragon Space, is releasing all at once summer 2025. I'm an avid reader, board/video gamer, backpacker, and reader. Excited to be here!
