Vampire Captives Chapter 1 – Author Reading


Werewolves were vampires’ worst enemy.  The Scheng general snarled at me and spittle dripped down his soaked muzzle. I circled him slowly, noting the corpses at my feet so I wouldn’t trip, as he watched my every move with eyes glowing blue. The wisps of moonlight dancing around his body were like unpredictable flames, though they didn’t burn. He would be formidable.

From Blood to Ashes: Meet Adano


I must confess I've never read Dracula, which I believe is the classic vampire novel. Don't quote me on that, because that's how little I know about Dracula. There have been so many versions of vampires that it would be interesting to know how everyone who likes them got started on them. […]

Nightshade Academy: The Complete Series



I have the curse/blessing of a million ideas. The number of stories I want to write is huge. And it keeps growing. Unfortunately, I am only human. I doubt I'll get to write EVERY story. That's where things get hard, because I have to choose which stories to write. When […]
