Welcome to my Blog! Here you’ll find posts about my life, inspiration I find on the way, and of course, writing updates, excerpts, and cover reveals! I’ll even be reviewing books I read (if you’re here for movies I’m into, check Monster thoughts). Grab your tea (or coffee) and stay awhile!

Rubbing Elbows, Six Sentence Sunday, and A Complete Change In Life

I had work yesterday, but my family had a BBQ. After an incredibly tiring afternoon of work, I got tipped (yes!) and headed home to eat food and converse with my lovely family. Eventually, a friend from high school brought his friend and she was incredibly interested in my book. I grabbed it for her and she read the Prologue and didn’t stop.

It got me smiling.

As she read, she commended the characters and the detail etched into the scenery. I must be doing something right no matter how much I think I’m not, right?

I gave her and her friend my business card and enjoyed the rest of my night.

I’m currently writing more of The Immortal’s Guide, in time for the Halloween deadline (which has been met with praise by many for it’s lovely timing).

And since it’s Sunday, I’ll leave you lovely folks with a Six Sentence Sunday post:

 

“Ewer,” she said at once, “you are back.”

“Yes, my child,” Ewer Caddenhall said with a warm smile, his sharp red eyes flashing. “Where is he?”

“Darien or the other?” she asked him, her expression resolving to that of slight discomfort.

Ewer stepped to her and he clearly towered over her here as he was so wonderfully tall. “Darien, of course…”

From The Immortal’s Guide: Another Delacroix Novel, Chapter One: The Guest coming Halloween 2012!

These particular sentences stem from a scene where the infamous Caddenhall family has returned to their home. And as we see here, Ewer, the oldest remaining Caddenhall member is to speak to his Master, the mysterious Darien Nicodemeus. What will happen next?

You can pick up The Dark World: A Delacroix Novel to see! (The first part of The Guest is in the back of the book!) Just something to satiate your urges before The Immortal’s Guide becomes available online.

Keep your bite.

😉

The New Year & A New Focus On My Vampires
I'm choosing, with this round of storytelling, to dive into 'harder topics,' and things I want to write about. I want to give my worlds more nuance, my characters more stakes, and hopefully more heart. I write for everyone but I cannot deny my experiences--Black experiences--are what have shaped me and should shape my writing. I'm adamant about this because of the erasure of my Black characters in THE DARK WORLD series by white readers.
The Tales of Sinner Sharpe: Dark Waters
‘THE TALES OF SINNER SHARPE: DARK WATERS’ Excerpt: Bats
This helped shape the nature of the story: Sinner is an outcast from this island. He has no magical ability, same as all from Othril, and when on the mainland, this lack of magical ability is apparent—he is ostracized not only because of his physical dark features, but his inability.
Gothic Horror And Inspiration
It was always my intention as of late, with Sinner Sharpe to delve into the horror he's facing--not physical horror--at least not yet, but the mental horror. He's seeing horrific visions, he's losing large gaps of time, he's being attacked on his ship (an already enclosed space) for weeks.
DRACULA is (finally) out in E-Book Format!
