What’s Up with My Brain?

The Infinite Timeline wrapped up in 2024 with SINGULARITY, the final novel that pulled together twelve previous books—nine standalones and three crossovers—into one mega-crossover brain-melter. This isn’t a sales pitch for the series, I promise. But when readers finished it, I started getting variations of the same question over and over:

“What is up with your brain?”

I also got called a “savant.” A couple times: “idiot savant.” Charming.

The questions got louder when I revealed that I didn’t outline any of the Infinite Timeline. No plot notes. No spreadsheets. Just… vibes and memory. The settings. The plots. Dozens of character arcs and voices. All woven together in the final book, mostly from what I could remember. A few things slipped through the cracks, sure, but not much.

Cue the DMs, emails, and comment section theories. “Why is your brain so different?!”

And that got me asking two questions of my own:

  1. Is my brain different?
  2. If so… why?

The Diagnosis I Didn’t See Coming

My big satchel of support, full of all the things I need to make me feel like I can handle the world.

The answer to #1 was easy. Yes. In so many ways, yes.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’ve wrestled with an assortment of baffling issues: anxiety, depression, nerve pain, sensory overload, mysterious neurological symptoms, and a wild imagination that rarely shuts off. No one could figure it out. Treatments helped sometimes—but mostly just dulled the symptoms. I didn’t feel better, just muted.

Then one day, while discussing all this with my wife, she said:

“Maybe you’re autistic.”

BREAKNECK COMICS (me) Joins Forces with VAULT COMICS!

Well, that sounds cool, but what the heck are you talking about?!

Breakneck Comics is the product of a lifelong dream to be a comic book creator. Long before I was a writer, I was an artist, and comic books was my medium of choice. Over time, I realized that my art was all about storytelling and I started writing as well. While I was…okay as an artist, it turned out I was a better writer and I ended up landing on writing novels for my bread and butter. But my dream of creating comics has never faded, and thanks to my success as a novelist, I can now pursue this dream in a big way. Most reasonable people would start with a single book. But I’m not reasonable. I’m ambitious. So we’re kicking things off with FIVE graphic novels. Four are original stories: EXCOMMUNICATED, NECTAR, 1001 SAVES THE WORLD, and GROTESQUE. The fifth is based on my novel, soon to be TV series, PROJECT NEMESIS.


Over the past two years, Kane and I have been working with an unbelievable team of artists from around the world, and we got started without knowing exactly how they’d be published. But I believed in the books so I was all in from the start. After a year of working on the books, we were fortunate enough to  be connected with the amazing people at Vault Comics. Feels strange to say they were “blown away” by the books, but the result was a five book partnership deal, so I think they must have been pretty impressed!

READ ABOUT THE DEAL at COMICSBEAT.COM.

What’s a partnership deal?

Other than a phrase I just made up, it basically means that Breakneck (me) and Vault are co-publishing the books. I’m focusing on what I do best–telling stories and art directing–and they’re focusing on the publishing, distribution and marketing of the books, which is something I couldn’t do on my own.

When can we get the graphic novels?!

Glad you asked. The first of the five books will be released in Summer 2026 and then one book per season after that. If all goes well, we’ll be publishing many more than these five books.

It’s hard to explain how excited I am about these books, some of which I’ve been working on since I was 17. I just love the medium and am thrilled to finally FINALLY be creating my own comic book worlds. Stay tuned for more!

THE SENTINEL – The Trilogy is Complete! And Collected!

ORDER PRINT AND EBOOK HERE  •  ORDER AUDIO HERE

I give you: THE SORT OF DRAMATIC, MOSTLY FRUSTRATING TALE OF HOW THE SENTINEL TRILOGY CAME TO BE.

Amazon’s Pretty Cover

Ten-ish years ago, I had a idea for a trilogy of novels that ticked all the boxes for me. A snarky lead, elements from Viking lore, nasty monsters, and an intellect being behind it all. I wrote THE SENTINEL and self-published it under the pen name, Jeremy Bishop, as a follow up to TORMENT. It did great and caught the attention of Amazon, who was having great success with their new novel imprints. They wanted to publish THE SENTINEL and its sequel THE RAVEN, and if sales justified it, the third book, THE HOST.

At this point in time, Amazon was unabashedly using their influence and knowledge of the algorithms’ inner workings to ensure a good number of their books either sold really well, or became breakout hits. It was a no-brainer. I wrote the second novel and we were off to the races.

And then…the covers, for which I was not consulted.

The Original Cover

The original SENTINEL cover was cold, mysterious, and leaned heavily on the Viking story elements. The new cover…well, it looked like a historical romance. Even the title font was swirly and pretty. Basically the complete opposite of the story itself!

And then it came out… Let’s just say, my self-published version sold better (as usual). Now, I knew the book was good. The people who got the original edition loved it. Jane Harper was one of the first sarcastic funny characters I wrote in first person, which has become a staple in my books. I always believed it deserved to be finished, BUT Amazon had the rights, and despite poor sales, they didn’t want to give up them up. SO, I had to wait about a decade to get them back. Kane and I celebrated the return of these coveted rights, and I then, FINALLY, set to work on THE HOST.

When I re-read the books, it was like visiting an old friend. Jane’s voice was still there in my mind, just waiting to return. Writing THE HOST was a blast, and the trilogy now has the ending it deserves. Not only that, but we get to release all three volumes as one gigundus book, making them easier to read and cheaper to buy. We did this with THE LAST HUNTER and HUNGER, both of which were hits in their mega large formats. The story is complete. The cover’s tone fits the story and captures the novel’s strangeness. And I can’t wait to hear what you all think. All is right in the world, or at least this small part of it. 🙂 On to the book!

THE SENTINEL

Imagine a parasite capable of sustaining and controlling any mammal–people, bears, WHALES. On the surface, you might call those living dead “zombies.” That…would be a mistake.

The Vikings called them Draugr–closer to the truth, but their lore is incomplete. Don’t let mankind’s feeble attempt at labeling the Draugr fool you. These…things are far more complex, nefarious, and ambitious than any zombie ever has been.

AUDIOBOOK:

The new format benefits you listeners the most. This series would have cost three credits broken up, but now you can snag them all for a single credit! If you’re one of the few people who bought an earlier edition in audio, you’re still paying the same amount for the complete story. Noice! Also, the narration is all new, and the narrator, Eva Kaminsky, does a fantastic job bring Jane Harper to life. She stood out during auditions and delivered the goods!

 

Contains all three books: The Sentinel, The Raven, and The Host.

The Complete Trilogy Cover! Huzzah!

In the icy darkness of the Arctic Ocean, a violent showdown between ruthless whale hunters and fervent environmentalists ends in explosive catastrophe: both ships sinking into the frigid abyss. Marooned on a desolate island, the survivors, now bitter enemies, are forced into an uneasy truce to withstand the merciless cold. Enter Jane Harper: undercover agent, razor-sharp, and unflinching, wielding her wit as deftly as her fists. As she rallies the fractured group, they stumble upon ancient Viking ruins and awaken something primal and terrifying.

Deep beneath the frozen ground, the Draugar stir. Undying Vikings walk the Earth again, controlled by hive-mind parasites connected by three sinister queens. Capable of subjugating and preserving all mammalian life, they see the world through ambitious eyes, spreading to any creature they can find—bears, whales, and even people.

With time slipping away and the body count climbing, Jane must unravel the mystery of these parasites—whose origins may lie beyond the stars—and confront an unimaginable horror that transcends death itself. She fights not just for survival, but to prevent an unspeakable menace from consuming the world.

With The Sentinel, #1 Audible and New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson unlocks his demented mind, claws into the dark recesses of his imagination, and plucks out a tale of horror, humor, science fiction, and heart, that will keep you listening even as the dead pile up.

GOOD BOYS 3 – The #1 Trilogy for Dog Lovers is Complete!

If anyone had asked me two years ago, if I thought I’d ever write a novel about–

(SPOILERS AHEAD – If you haven’t read Book 1 or Book 2 yet. What the heck are you doing here?! Go grab those, read them, and then come back.)

–talking dogs from space, I’d have laughed and said, “ludicrous.” Then I’d probably have thought about it some more…and some more…and then started asking what people thought of the concept, expecting them to laugh and say “ludicrous!”

But this is exactly how GOOD BOYS came to be. Alex Maddern, a cat person, weirdly enough, pitched the concept while we were gaming. It was a fun idea despite his take being more about dogs being gross and dumb. My first thought was that he was bonkers.

But then the seed he planted began to grow and I started asking other people what they thought of my refined take on the idea…and was surprised when everyone loved it. Feeling energized from the very positive response, I dove into Book 1 and fell in love. The standalone novel quickly became a trilogy and I spent an entire year writing about doggos. It was probably the most fun I’ve had as a writer and was made even better because as I was writing a story about Grover the Golden Retriever, I was also raising the actual Grover the Golden Retriever.

Every chapter of these books was written with Grover by my side, sometimes sleeping, sometimes gnawing on my arm. And I’m happy to say that my relationship with the actual Grover is an accurate reflection of Micah and Grover in the novels. We both are our calmest when we’re together, and are largely inseparable. If you have a pet-friend in your life–even a cat–these books, more than anything, are a celebration of how our furry friends change our lives. If you haven’t read them yet, pick up all three and join the party!

GOOD BOYS

Sometimes when writing a novel, you get to the end and think one of two things. “I’m glad that’s over,” or, “I wish that didn’t have to end.” For the most part, I’m an option two kind of guy. I have a long list of novel worlds I’d like to keep exploring, BUT I also come from an art background and “knowing when to stop” is an important lesson.
