Author James Sullivan has released his debut romance novel, "Edge of Resurrection," a story that follows Seattle billionaire Logan Brodie as he navigates grief after losing his wife and finds an unexpected connection with the independent Jade Murphy. The novel explores themes of emotional healing through supportive relationships, with Sullivan noting his inspiration came from date-night conversations with his wife about other couples.
The book has received positive reader feedback, with one reviewer stating, "I was blown away with this one. The dialogue is original and I absolutely loved the compassion the characters have for each other." Sullivan deliberately aimed to differentiate his work from existing romance novels, adopting a mindset of "whatever they're writing, DO THE OPPOSITE!!!" during the creative process.
This publication represents a significant personal milestone for Sullivan, who spent 42 years before discovering his passion for writing. He references late-blooming successes like Morgan Freeman, Vera Wang, and Julia Child to emphasize that "age is just a number" and that self-doubt is the only true limitation. Sullivan's professional shift underscores a growing trend of career reinvention and the expanding diversity of voices in the romance genre.
The novel's impact extends beyond its narrative, as Sullivan is already working on a sequel titled "Edge of Atonement," which will continue Logan and Jade's story. A potential third book set in Jade's hometown of Las Vegas is also under consideration. The series' development highlights how successful debut works can quickly evolve into sustainable franchises within the competitive publishing market.
"Edge of Resurrection" is available through major retailers including Amazon.com. The book was produced with support from Total Publishing And Media, a company offering comprehensive services from writing to marketing at www.TotalPublishingandMedia.com. Sullivan's journey from aspiring author to published writer demonstrates the accessibility of modern publishing pathways and the market's appetite for authentic, character-driven romance stories.
