New Stories Are Coming: Expanding the Literary Universe of John Erik Dunnam

Following the powerful release and growing success of Inheritance of Silence, I am thrilled to officially announce several upcoming literary projects currently in development.

Each title explores a vastly different emotional landscape, yet all remain deeply rooted in the themes that continue to shape my writing: identity, survival, transformation, longing, reinvention, love, loss, and the complicated beauty of becoming who we were always meant to be.

These stories are bold. Some are heartbreaking. Some are healing. Some are raw enough to leave fingerprints on the page.

And every single one of them represents a new chapter in this creative journey.

Upcoming Titles

Burn The Map: Life Beyond What You Were Given

A fearless exploration of breaking cycles, rewriting destiny, and discovering what happens when you stop living according to the limitations others placed upon you. This project examines resilience, identity, ambition, and the terrifying freedom that comes with choosing your own path.

Chasing Pavements

A deeply emotional and atmospheric story centered around movement, memory, and the pursuit of something just beyond reach. Equal parts reflective and restless, this novel explores the roads we take — and the versions of ourselves we leave behind along the way.

Lux’s Tarot & Spiritual Awakening

Mystical, introspective, and transformative, this project dives into spirituality, intuition, healing, symbolism, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. Through Lux’s journey, readers will explore self-discovery through tarot, energy, and awakening to one’s authentic purpose.

Starving Artist & Saviors

A sharp, emotionally charged examination of creativity, exploitation, validation, survival, and the complicated relationships between artists and the people who claim to support them. This story challenges the romanticism of struggle while exposing the cost of being seen only when you are suffering.

Theo & Chase: Happily Ever After

A heartfelt LGBTQ+ romance exploring what happens after the fairytale ending. Tender, emotional, funny, and deeply human, Theo and Chase’s story examines love beyond the honeymoon phase — navigating life, trauma, healing, and partnership while fighting to protect the future they built together.

These projects represent some of my most ambitious and personal work to date. Some are still being outlined. Others are already underway. But all of them are stories I cannot wait to share with you.

Thank you for continuing to support my writing journey, my voice, and these stories that have lived in my head and heart for far too long.

The next era begins now.
