Vampeal The Book. A Young Adult Novel For Those Still In School

     I will be releasing an alternate version of the novel Demon Vampire entitled "Vampeal." It is a full length novel, under 100,000 words. It is intended for the young adult audience as a summer reading program with back of the book review questions. The recommended age for Vampeal is 13-18, as opposed to 16-35 with Demon Vampire.
     The main difference in the storylines is that the actual demon vampires that exist in the larger novel are not present in the book Vampeal. Hence the toned down version. There is not as much sex, violence, and overall blood. The story as a whole of much lighter. With that said, it is still a work of Young Adult Dark Fiction.

     As to the release date of Vampeal. I will be sending out queries to agents that would otherwise not accept the book Demon Vampire in a few weeks. Once I have an agent, my goal is to sell the book in just as many avenues as Demon Vampire. Different languages, audio books, even braille.

I will as always provide updates on my progress.

Story Crafting. A Model To Follow. The Dark Fields.

There are few stories out that can keep someone that is trained in writing fiction guessing that are out today. The novel "The Dark Fields" by Alan Glynn is one of those that is crafted in a way that is captivating, innovative, and striking. With the monotony of stories written lately, there are few surprises or new ideas to show readers. Alan Glynn has found a way of mixing a large scale story with multiple angles and characters. The seamless interaction of smaller characters constantly coming up out of the works to interfere with the main character is brilliant. I honestly didn't believe anyone else wrote like this other than myself. Introducing almost ignorable characters at the beginning of a story to later have them play a big, out of nowhere part in the main character's life if a welcome nuance to the humdrum of story lines that have been produced in the past years.

Alan Glynn has done what all authors should do at the beginning of their story, establish normalcy. A state of being for the entire novel that is never striped away or changed in a way that would otherwise alienate the reader. Instead, he comes up with a literary device that adds to the normalcy of the story without changing its properties. Glynn adds the effects of a chemical pill to augment the main character. Rather than taking a sci-fi approach, or paranormal set up which assumes many people have access to the chemical augmentation, Alan Glynn writes a convincing drama of the life and changes in the life of one person among others.

In the same way I build transitions between the events of my novel, Demon Vampire, Glynn creates a narrative that is encompassing to the reader in that the main character could be anyone, even the reader if the situation was right. We all long for the escape of temporarily placing ourselves in someone else's life, both Alan Glynn and I accomplish this in the same way, albeit with different story parameters.

Below you can buy the book, now titled "Limitless". The original novel, "The Dark Fields" is out of print and had become very expensive, ranging from $60-$100+, at $10.00, Limitless the novel is a bargain.

As for Demon Vampire, as of this post I am still searching for an agent. As a realistic time line, you can expect the book in two to three years. (Halloween 2012 if I'm lucky.)

Announcing New Books To Be Written!

I am announcing the official start of three new books.

The first is the continuation of the original Demon Vampire Novel. It will be entitled Demon Vampire: Redgold. It will be a direct sequel to the first book. Picking up right after the cliffhanger of the last book ended. (Estimated at 200,000+ words.) It will be shorter than the original, but is pack with more twists and storyline to keep the reader on edge. I guarantee no one will expect what happens in this novel. All I can say is that I will alienate my readers by changing the premise of the story to suit its development. What is established in the first novel is never broken, its spirit never bent to serve a reaching plot line. My novel will be as direct as always and as page turning as ever.

The second is the account of the ritual that made the demon vampires. Entitled Demon Vampire: The Elder Ritual (Estimated at 85,000 words). Chronicling the life of Salas, the demon vampire from the main book, it delves into his life before, during and after the ritual. You will experience his perspective all the way up to present day. (Not, I do not write in 1st person. I will not bother my readers with having to deal with that kind of limited palette.)

The third is the going to be a Novella (About 40,000 words). It will be entitled Demon Vampire: Special Science Report 1192. It will follow the experiments of a researcher during the vampire testing done in the second book. As to why there is vampire testing done by a scientific body, you will to read up. Either novel explains why in great detail.

As of the time line. The all three books have already had their outlines written. The main sequel will start to be written in the next few months. Special Science Report 1192 will begin at the same time. I plan on finishing the smaller novella in less than two months, while keeping on the main novel as well. After the novella is done, The Elder Ritual will begin. Slotted for three to four months, once it has been written, the main sequel will be halfway done. I project that Demon Vampire: Redgold will take a year to write as going with my current speed of production.

I hope you enjoyed this update. Don't forget to follow the blog on the right hand side of the site and to tell all your friends that love vampires stories, the power and grace of the old styles of vampires are back! Read the first chapter of Demon Vampire Here.

Redgold, The Rite Of Passage Into Vamparism.

What is Redgold? It is crystallized vampire blood. When blood is collected from a fallen vampire, it can be stored until the next solar eclipse. At that time, it is placed in a container that will allow the light to penetrate it. Over the course of the eclipse, the blood hardens and forms a solid crystal that has unique properties. The original use is to transform a vampeal into a full vampire. It is referred to as The Ritual of Redgold. It can be consumed, or smashed into an open wound to enter the blood stream directly. If taken by a human, it has miraculous healing powers. It can revive almost sure death. If ingested by another vampire, it is poison. The strength of which is measured in the age of the vampire used for the Redgold. The greater the age, the stronger the effect of the poison.
     There is a second side to Redgold. It can be made from a vampeal which makes the result very different. It is a poison to humans. It does nothing to vampires. However, it greatly affects other vampeals. It can permanently transfer the gift of one vampeal to the consumer of the Redgold.

Time Is A Key. The World Is My Gate. My Hands, The Will To Open The Path.

Time is struck as the heavens call my name. The events that have progressed over my life have lead me to this moment. The click, the snap, the ring of it's passage is music. It tells me in a way that no other understands that I am succeeding in my vested plans. It screams out the lauded salutes to my actions. It whispers in the night of my deeds. The simple service I have placed in my own hands is but a shadow of the mirror that lay before me. Inside there is a prize, a gift known only to those of which their work has blessed them. I have seen it in my dreams, in my desires. I know it is real. Soon I will stand beside it, ready to open the gate. Soon I will see with eyes untainted by the disdain of jealousy the window to my goals. Beyond the steps that I seek is a mountain, not a destination, but a new horizon. The road laid out before me is longer still, yet it holds the pleasures and the pains I have wished for all my life. As I turn the key of time. As the gate opens for me. I know that I possess the will to pass.
