“We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Holden Sheppard on his next two books!” the publisher posted to their social media.  “No one is ready for THE BRINK. This book will change you and destroy you with its raw, personal emotion.”

Sheppard’s first young Adult genre book Invisible Boys picked up a stack of awards, a legion of fans and is currently being developed into a TV series.

The writer completed the ECU Writing Program before finding success with his debut novel.
