My name is Konn Lavery, I am an author and a graphic designer/web developer.
I have a fascination with transmedia storytelling, which introduces various medias into a story.
“Author Konn Lavery encapsulates the full gamut of human emotion with the stress that Alastor and Spalding find themselves under, from the gory unearthing and unusual acquisitions of fresh meat to the pressures of financial success, freedom and the desire for love and comfort despite the grim world in which they live…”
“His story is intricately laid out on a backdrop of history wrapped in legend and tied off with a myth.”
“When I finally got into the actual book, I found myself unable to put it down, even reading it on my break at work.”

“You don’t say much, do you?” I asked, exhaling some smoke. A breeze picked up and blew some of the smoke from my mouth over to her face.

Fourth read of the years no particular order. Writing Into The Dark by #deanWesleySmith.
Mind blown. Writing process shocked.
Time to rethink how I've been writing novels.
Mind the cat, she's hungry as always.

One last announcement for the year: a new website! Check it out at konnlavery.com. link in bio.
Some of the new features to the site are:
- A complete publications list
- FAQ page
- Revamped Novel Page With Extra Goodies Per Book
- A Wiki (Encyclopedia)
The wiki is the largest new section to the site. It is a living archives of the worlds, characters, locations, and more, found within the novels. There are lots of articles to add still, but it is fully populated with information from Mental Damnation and some found within YEGman and Seed Me.
Enjoy the new site!

Another read this year, no particular order. Journey to the Summit by Saher Ghattas of @flawlessinbound.
The inbound marketing book is encased within a fictional story of a marketing manager's challenges with effective marketing in the digital world, pitching to bosses who dont see the value, and providing actual results.
It is primarily focused for larger organizations and for marketing managers as the sub title says.
Still, lots of info packed in the book and worth the read if you're not sure where to begin with online marketing. Or understand the theory behind it.
I've made notes, and I'll be applying some in the new year.

Another read this year. No particular order. Factfulness by Hans Rosling.
Digs deep into world statistics in various subjects, how to read stats, misleading news headlines, and more.
Well worth the read to get a better sense of asking the right questions.

COVER & TITLE REVEAL
Fire, Pain, & Ruin. A @rutherford.manor novel.
My upcoming novel for 2020.
It is in beta/proof and the initial feedback from the test readers is astounding.
Here's some little tid bits about it from the official Rutherford Manor Facebook:
---
Trying to live a normal life in the world of Rutherford Manor is difficult at best and sometimes impossible for the residents of the infamous household. Lisa and Louise Savidge are now young teenagers with a growing interest in the world, boys, and the family business.
Spalding and Penny Savidge certainly have their hands full with these young and highly curious girls and that doesn’t include all of the trauma, family dynamics, infatuation, past loves, supernatural events, and ancient dark curses that they must all endure.
All of this and MUCH MORE will unfold in our next Rutherford Manor book; Fire, Pain, & Ruin written by Konn Lavery - Horror Author! 😈
This time around our story includes RMU fan favorites including Spalding, Penny, Lisa, Louise, Nox, Lilith, Billy, Vivian, The Connors, and the mysterious Midwives of Rowley!
Launching in Spring 2020. More news coming very soon!
----- Cant wait to get this out to you all!
