Hey everyone,
I have some incredible news to share, and it’s all thanks to you!
In just three days since launch, RELICT officially hit #1 in New Releases for American Horror on Amazon!
When I sat down to write this paleo-thriller, I knew I wanted to create something that felt grounded, visceral, and a little bit terrifying—but seeing it sit at the top of the charts this early is more than I could have ever dreamed! Especially for a project fueled by nothing but caffeine, late-night research, and a long-lived obsession with ancient dead things.
To those who dove in immediately: you are the reason the "Amazon algorithm" is paying attention. You’ve helped prove that there is a huge appetite for survival fiction and creature features.
What’s next?

Read & Review: If you’ve started the book, please consider leaving a rating or a short review on Amazon. Those "Verified Purchase" reviews are the lifeblood of indie authors and help keep that #1 badge pinned to the page.

Mark Your Calendars: I’m gearing up for a local signing at Main Street Books on May 23rd. I’d love to see you there in person!
Thank you for taking a chance on a new author and for bringing Relict to life. I love you all to death!
Welcome to the bottom of the food chain...
Best,
Cody Blotter
