Revisiting Old Project


Humans take on a much bigger role in the Dark World, namely in the book I’m writing now, THE TWO SWORDS. And I feel it’ll be interesting to see how they match up against the bigger, badder, Creatures of the World. I had thought about including them back in THE IMMORTAL’S GUIDE, but decided against it for whatever reason, it just didn’t fit. Now, however, I see a point to them, and as everything else does in the series, they all point back to Dracula.

It amazes me how much a lot of people can be influenced by the decisions of one person who decided to take all the power for himself.

Thats what the series addresses and is definitely my intention to mention outwardly more than once: how much freedom can one have if one is thrust into a position of power – and will he be a good leader? Does he even want to lead?

In THE TWO SWORDS, we definitely learn more about Dracula and why he felt the way he did about wanting to become human and not continuing to be the monster he is.

I’ve revisited an old project, THE RATHER DEPRESSING TALES OF PATRICIA LAUREN BORDEAUX, and I’m resolved to finish it and get it into the hands of an agent and Permuted Press.

That’s all for now, I’m off to write some more.

Keep your bite Dark Creatures!

The Dark of Ancestry
I've been exploring the ancestry in the second book of SINNER SHARPE's story. However, this story explores Dagger's ancestry, whereas book one was solely focused on Sinner's (admittedly dark) ancestry.
The Dark World: Book 1 is Free — No More!
Jan 17th, 2023 - EDIT: THE DARK WORLD: BOOK 1 is no longer free but you can read snippet of the book on Amazon as well as pick up the ebook cheaper at my shop for only $1.99!
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.
