Below, you can find all upcoming projects by E J Doble, including sequels to current series and new projects on the near horizon. This page will be updated regularly with news about drafts, wordcounts, and the availability of e-ARCs.

PROJECT FACTORY

PROJECT FACTORY

This is something of a random pet-project that I devised as part of my job working in a factory, where an entire facility is run on a single A.I. operating system that… well you can probably guess what happens next. It will be approximately ten chapters long (novella length) and will take the perspective of a young school dropout looking for some money to pay rent, and get away from his chronically-overbearing mother. As for a writing/release date, I have no idea currently - it will likely be something I write over the space of a few weeks as a palette cleanser to a much larger project. But we’ll see!

“This novella is completely planned with chapter-specific notes, and will likely take between three to four weeks to complete (exact dates are currently undisclosed).”

PROJECT GINGERBREAD

PROJECT GINGERBREAD

This is the working title for the third book in the Grimdark Fairytales mini-series, which from the name ‘gingerbread’ one can assume which classic story is going to be tackled. Featuring a little old lady living on a house on a cliff-side, who befriends a tiny bird called Wilhelm, the book’s opening has a much lighter tone than its predecessors - but don’t let that deceive you. The novella will most likely sit at roughly 100 pages, and will hopefully release sometime in autumn 2026.

“This novella has been structurally outlined with chapter notes. As with its two predecessors, the story will take six weeks to write, and a few more to edit, releasing sometime in autumn 2026.”
