We all love Nicholas W. Fuller over here on team Before We Go (I mean, how could anyone not?!), so I couldn’t be more excited to help out with the cover reveal of his upcoming debut novella: SHATTERED.

And what has he been cooking up for us? I am glad you asked. SHATTERED: A Sanguine Stars Novella is a short, action packed science fantasy read that features political intrigue, a lot of fun action, and a touch of humor while setting the stage for everything to come…

Interested piqued? Want to know more? Check out this intriguing blurb:

Poey Targe’s job was to stand at attention and look good in a uniform unless someone earned themselves an ass kicking.

He spent years climbing the ranks to be a Master Sergeant in the Sorento Royal Senate Guard and now has the top tier gig – he’s Guardian to High Senator Sara Brand, one of the leaders of the planet Sorento.

Life is going pretty good for Poey and he’s looking forward to a future of settling down and retiring from his… but all that changes when High Senator Brand receives troubling news…

SHATTERED is the story of doing the right thing… And the consequences of those actions.

It’s the story of Poey Targe, Sara Brand, and a few friends as they struggle to keep their planet safe.

I mean, I was already going to read SHATTERED no matter what, but now I am truly dying to get to it. Sounds like Nicholas is shooting for the stars, and I’d bet he’s not going to miss!

Now, let’s stop gushing about all the greatness of what’s inside these pages and do what we actually came here for. Are you ready to see the beautiful cover that is going to represent this story? Let’s go in 3, 2, 1…

Nicholas W. FullerAbout the author:

Nicholas W. Fuller has been writing all of his life. He began writing his first novel while still in fifth grade—a science fiction story featuring an alien race inspired by his neighbor’s basset hounds. While that work remains incomplete, Nicholas has worked on various blogs and stories over the years, including publication in JCM Berne’s Grimdwarf Magazine and earning an honorable mention from ElegantLiterature.com.

Nicholas also started a youtube channel in early 2023 where he posts videos talking about books and other fun nerdy things as well as his interviews with authors and other creatives.

When Nicholas is not writing or making videos, he’s probably thinking about writing, maybe playing video games with his brother, possibly tickling one or both of his two children, or perhaps traveling with his wife… but likely also pondering writing. He hopes to continue to make things up and put them on paper for an ever wider audience.
