Now Available: Free Access Through Nevada Libraries

Cade Meridian — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I'm thrilled to share that The Weight of Petals has been accepted into Indie Nevada: Discover Books From Local Authors, a curated collection available to library patrons across the state through the BiblioBoard platform.

This means if you have a library card from a participating Nevada library, you can read the book right now—for free—with just one click.

Read it on BiblioBoard

This is exactly where I hoped this story would land: in libraries, accessible to anyone who needs it. No barriers, no cost—just a story waiting for the right reader.

The official release is still March 10th, 2026, but Nevada library patrons get early access starting today.

Now Streaming: The Weight of Petals Soundtrack

Cade Meridian — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The companion soundtrack to The Weight of Petals is now available on all major platforms.

Thirty-two original tracks—one for each chapter—created to immerse you in the emotional landscape of the novel. From the haunting tension of a city under surveillance to the quiet moments of courage that define resistance, this music was composed to accompany the story and stand on its own.

Listen now:

Whether you're discovering the music before reading the book or revisiting the story through sound, I hope these pieces move you the way the characters moved me while writing them.

The novel releases March 10th, 2026. Until then, let the music pull you in.

The Next Story That Needs to Be Told

Cade Meridian — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Thank you for the incredible support for Echo Ridge. Knowing these stories are reaching you means the world to me.

While the world of Luma is one of luminous hope, the next story I feel compelled to write is a step into the shadows of the very near future. It’s a speculative thriller that looks at the fragility of the systems we take for granted.

It's a story that asks uncomfortable questions about where we are and where we could be heading. How thin is the line between order and oppression? And who is willing to stand up when that line is crossed?

This one feels important, and I look forward to sharing more when I can. Thank you for reading.
