Thank you!!

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.

Thank you so much for reading! Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for books two and three in June...

Thanks Charlotte!

A massive, abandoned spaceship floats through space, while a smaller ship approaches it. Superimposed over the image is the title of the book, Vanguard Strike, as well as the name of the author, Jarom Strong.

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.

I don't get attached to my characters in the same way that I see a lot of other authors do, so I don't get particularly emotional about it, but I do always miss writing that character moving forward.

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!

I LOVE the Good Place. Watch it at least once a year.
