Reader Nation is a multi-genre signing event hosted by Author Ventures LLC—the team behind Author Nation, the world’s largest indie author conference.

At its heart, Reader Nation is a celebration of storytelling in all its forms. With more than 200 participating authors across every genre, the event brings readers face-to-face with the stories that made them laugh, cry, stay up too late, text a friend, “You have to read this,” and maybe even toss a book across the room in frustration at a particularly egregious cliffhanger.

GODLESS ARMAGEDDON

A Sci-Fi Afterlife Drama

BUY ONLINE AROUND THE WORLD

Godless Armageddon is a visionary and ambitious journey that defies traditional storytelling to deliver a profound and imaginative exploration of the afterlife.

-- Damir Salkovic, author of Collapse Years

Why Title Redacted?

Through trial and error, I discovered that social media companies won't let me advertise my novel Godless Armageddon with the title intact. I kept being taken down for violating community standards. Of course, there was no explanation as to which standards, exactly. It would seem you are not allowed to post ads that talk about death, religion, or political (i.e., LGBTQ+) issues. So, my gay atheist fighting a war in the afterlife has been a challange to advertise.

Writers Talk About Stuff

Rie Lee, Queerness and Spirituality

A one on one with a fellow author Rie Lee

Rie Lee and Scott Coon examine the intersection of queerness and spirituality. They discuss the myths their religious environments taught them about queerness, how they realized they were queer, and how their spiritual journeys intertwined with their queer journeys, ultimately arriving at a place of peace.

Rei Lee

Rie Lee’s novel, VESSEL, is a reflection of the author’s personal coming-out/deconstruction journey and reflects strongly on modern themes of a conservative culture trying to reinforce cishet gender roles and reproductive choices made by a select few for the masses. Queer readers in heteronormative religions and anyone in a high-control environment especially may find affirmation through this book.
