About: PodFiction
Welcome to PodFiction by Nikolas Allen via Substack.
Prior to independently publishing my debut novel, JUNIPER FALLS, in January 2025, I serialized it on Substack in late 2024.
Early Subscribers received all 109 chapters as a free newsletter over the course of four months. It was very much an experiment on whether a novel would “work” as an email newsletter, and I had a small audience of engaged readers who stuck around to the end.
Now that the JUNIPER FALLS serial is complete, New Subscribers can binge-read the whole novel at their own pace.
I’m currently hard at work on my sophomore project, which is a madcap speculative fiction trilogy called, SURREAL ESTATE, which I will also serialize here in late 2025.
While I won’t be posting/emailing often between projects, I do hope you Subscribe to PodFiction by Nikolas Allen and join the adventure.
Thanks for being here, and I’ll see you in the Inbox!
About: Juniper Falls
Welcome to Juniper Falls, CA—population 3,300
This small mountain town features a diverse community of creatives and misfits, drug addicts and do-gooders, hard workers, and layabouts, and everybody knows each other’s business.
When a young drifter—one of many drawn to the town—overdoses on a dangerous new street drug, his death shakes the town to its core and forces its residents to rethink everything they thought they knew about Juniper Falls.
Featuring an unforgettable ensemble cast grappling with universal struggles of passion versus purpose, and choice versus destiny, this bold and stylish view of contemporary America will make you laugh, cry, and cringe in equal measure.
This year, take a memorable trip to Juniper Falls...if you dare.
(Contains explicit language, drug use, graphic violence, and sexual situations.)
JUNIPER FALLS is available worldwide on Amazon in paperback ($16.99) and eBook ($0 - $2.99).
