The Strongest in the Forest Digital Downloads

Exciting news everyone; my World of Green and Black novella The Strongest in the Forest is now available to download in PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats. These files won’t have the illustrations of the online version of the story, but they can be read a lot more easily. They also won’t be split in three parts.

This also calls for a cover reveal. Those of you who follow me on Bluesky or Mastodon would have already seen it, since I couldn’t resist sharing the cover as soon as I finished it, but here it is again for an official cover reveal.

The cover for "The Strongest in the Forest" by Jayde Holmes. The background is red and covered in dark red splatters like bloodstains. In the four ground is a digital sketch coloured only in black, white and gray of a crumbling square tower with a lone human on top facing down a large dragonlike creature that is clinging to the tower railings, with just a sword. The text is in white, with the book title at the top and the author name at the bottom.

I’m so happy with this cover. I’ve learnt a lot since I did the cover for Neighbour and I’m much happier with this one. So much happier in fact, that I’m going to redo the Neighbour cover so it matches Strongest’s cover in style. I’ve been wanting to redo both the text and the cover of Neighbour to put it into UK English for a while now, and with Strongest’s story now fully launched, now is the perfect time to take down the old download files and get to work on Neighbour.

Both Neighbour and The Strongest in the Forest will remain available on this website at no cost for the foreseeable future. You can click here to start reading The Strongest in the Forest right now. You can also check out my World of Green and Black page for links to the ebook downloads and other World of Green and Black content, such as Bestiary entries.

I’m going to keep making World of Black and Green stuff for free whenever I have the time. That being said, if you do enjoy this world, or any of my stories in general, I do have a Buy Me a Coffee page and any tips would be greatly appreciated. Even just $1 helps me out. Don’t take the amounts the site suggests to donate as a minimum requirement.

There will be plenty more World of Green and Black stories in the future. For now, go enjoy The Strongest in the Forest.
