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!

HB-JRI, George Best Belfast City Airport (March 2015)
Currently in JFK Airport…

Waiting for my flight to Orlando, Florida to board. We board at 5:10pm so I’m perfectly early. 🙂 Sigh. So many things have happened lately, so I will apologize for my lack of upkeep on the blog. But moving right along, great progress has been made in The Immortal’s Guide!
With the ending of half of Chapter Fifteen, I was forced to realize the stark direction the book was taking and just why it was going that way, the lessons that would have to be learned…or not, and the utter trial and error of choice, decision-making, and what really makes a character do what they do is at the heart of the chapter. So far it’s my favorite one yet.

And to quell any claims that I’m going to kill one of my main characters off – THEY’RE NOT TRUE! It’s only the second book for crying out loud! We must leave the character-killing to AT LEAST book three. 😉

I’m just utterly gob-smacked that people CARE enough about my characters, their world, to either love or hate them (for good reason, of course).

(Sigh)

Life is good and it’s gonna get even better. Tomorrow I am off to Universal Studios and I will upload pictures and the like as soon as possible.

Stay tuned.

Big things are in store for The Dark World and subsequent books thereafter!

Yours truly,

S.C./Sheron Parris

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!
