My writing journey began with my debut release, Endurance (2013), a gory dystopian horror-thriller novel.
After my fast paced debut came my suspenseful mystery thriller, The Author (2014), which was closely followed by the second gory book of The Endurance Series, Endurance: Apocalypse(2014).
I then took a year gap whilst I finished my last year at university. But as soon as I fnished, I was back and I decided to release a tense dark fantasy short story, Alive(2016).
After Alive, I released my latest novel, Deception: A Love of Lies(2016) – this book has received wonderful reviews from readers across the globe!
I’m always working on new book ideas, my latest includes a brand new horror!
My next book to be released is the last instalment of The Endurance Series – which is currently due for release later this year.
To find out more about my books and what’s to come, take a look at Books by T. J. Blake.
ENDURANCE (1) : Available to buy now from Amazon @ http://getbook.at/B00E8Q9QCU
“London is silent. Severed bodies lie amongst the rubble. What once was a lively city is a now a murderous grave, enclosed in smoke and ash. The cause of the destruction is unknown. Left haunted and terrified, survivor Tom Williams confronts the brutal, mutilated streets as he fights to uncover the truth. Could he be the last hope to restore normality?”
ENDURANCE: APOCALYPSE (2): Coming Soon!
Teaser: “Danni entered the station, the breeze was the only sound, eerily howling through the underground; the station was deserted. She ran up the escalators and stood at the top of Waterloo station. Staring along the station she saw corpses scattered across the ground. Splattered and smudged blood decorated Waterloo. The screams from outside echoed through the station, the occasional explosion vibrated under Danni’s feet.”
“She watched the machines shoot at the running people who were flipped into the air. A car drove at speed through the wreckage. As Danni looked up from the ground, she saw a man driving with two toddlers in the back and his wife shouting and screaming inside. The man was driving recklessly, knocking into innocent people and swerving past the overturned cars and chunks of rubble. As he drove, he turned to his kids; he failed to see a woman pushing her pram into the road in a panic. “

Reviews of ENDURANCE:
“Really enjoyed this book! Didn’t see the ending coming at all, which makes a nice change from most things I read. Very good story line with lots of twists and turns.”
“It is well written, doesn’t lack for imagination and has a really good story which is delivered perfectly.
If you are on the fence about this book, get off the fence, onto your kindle or the amazon website and buy this book.”
“This book is fantastic! I literally could not put it down until I had finished! The twists and turns kept me guessing which is great for this kind of book as so many these days are predictable! The state of tension created throughout the book was impressive, I don’t know if I have ever been on the edge of my seat whilst reading before! I am busy recommending this to everyone I know and am looking forward to future books!!”

It is great hearing what your readers think of your books. You get your positive, mediocre and negative reviews. I treat all of them the same, I take on criticism and try to improve on them, but I also take the praise and make sure I pursue it to make it as good next time around.
This review however is absolutely amazing. I am very honoured to receive such praise. So I thank you to The Cult Den and Gemma for writing this great review.
Endurance: Apocalypse is currently under the editing process. We will work to edit it as quick as we can to make it available for you out there who are waiting to read what will happen next after Endurance!
You may be aware that I am writing a new book as well as editing. My new book (which will be available as eBook only) is a supernatural horror novel. I am yet to confirm a name for it. I do have one but I am still undecided on that. I have a cover idea and I am well and truly into the thick of the story. So I am hoping to get this new book out there as soon as possible for you all to check out.
I have never written a book of the supernatural kind. I have decided to take a risk and add my own twist to it, so you can expect an original story with a different outlook and set of rules for my spiritual world
“I have been living a lie. My husband Jack and my two daughters Lucy and Charlie believe that I am dead.” – Character Sarah from the new eBook. Coming Soon!
As you may know, I have been writing the second instalment of the Endurance Series Endurance: Apocalypse.
I can now say that I have now finished the very first draft of Endurance: Apocalypse and now it comes to the editing process, which will take a while. But, don’t worry, I will be sure to tell you when to keep an eye out for its release.
So why not have a look at the first novel Endurance. Come on, begin the Endurance Series now! http://getbook.at/B00E8Q9QCU

A most interesting premise, good characters, good description and I recommend it to readers of like genre.”

I have come to the decision that if my next novel Endurance: Apocalypse (Endurance 2) receives positive reviews and you all enjoy it, then I will expand the original plan of just two Endurance’s into a possible 3 or 4 book series.
I have begun planning Endurance 3 but I will only continue to extensively plan once I am happy with Endurance: Apocalypse and that it is released.
I should also mention that I plan to also write a new Supernatural Horror, which I hope to have available to you all before the end of 2014.
