The Founder
In 2025 alone, Jack Chase produced seven substantial works of fiction — including Overtime, his debut novel Violent Crimes, the acclaimed Immundus and its hardcover Remastered and Expanded counterpart, and the 630-page American epic and 2026 Pulitzer® shortlist hopeful Made in America: or The Tragedy of Billy Castle and Unexpected Absolution of Dean Willis— with two more queued to close the year. He isn’t chasing trends, placements, or approval, continuing to build a body of work on the only fuel that sustains real literature: creative sovereignty.
As Founder and Chief Enforcement Officer of Abbycat Group LLC (AGP), Chase writes, designs, and releases his novels without interference, answerable to no boardroom, no committee, and no softening hand. His work is cinematic, occult-touched, and morally ruthless, rejecting the training-wheels of genre convention in favor of human behavior under pressure. Because it isn’t comfort he’s interested in. It’s truth.
Operating as a one-man studio, Chase oversees every phase from blinking cursor to finished spine, challenging the notion that “independent” must be parallel with “amateur.” His books don’t behave like product. They bleed, fracture, and haunt. Plot isn’t engineered — it detonates from character. Resolution isn’t delivered — it’s earned, or it never comes.
