FURY BORN IS COMING SOON ! |
|
|
Dream-Walker Alicha has survived her years in Hell by keeping her head down, taking souls, and counting the days until her freedom. Now that's she's been hand-picked to succeed a murdered head honcho demon....her escape plan (and maybe her life) is on the line. Especially since her new man has a nasty hobby of slaughtering demons.... |

UPDATES on the OLD books (Ayyy...old dogs still like new tricks….) Hi folks, and thank you to everyone who has supported and read Resurrection, Hellbound, and Dawning (Books 1, 2, and 3 of the Returned series novel) on Amazon ! Well, I did it.... I decided to re-brand the covers!! Below shows the new cover (left) vs the old cover (right) for Resurrection. The covers for Hellbound and Dawning are similar, so I won't show them here. And of COURSE, here is the link on where to purchase all three books online. Here's to hoping that everyone loves the fresh new look..... |

UPDATES on Fury Rising and Fury Born (New Adult 2-book series)…. |
|
|
Fury Rising is doing well! My favorite Dream-Walker turned Demon is LIVE, y'all! So coming up, I have the next book Fury Born, which will continue Alicha's story.....AND I also am working on a little short story from Alicha's world (title still pending). But the short will be set after Fury Rising, and follows Kimone, Drew, and Hasan, three of Alicha's Walkers. I AM EXCITED for them both to hit the virtual shelves. (Also, I do have plans for another short, which will follow Canasha, the 2nd lieutenant to Halphas, but that will come later.) So much potential for this fictional world! Remember, this world has a very racially diverse cast of characters. |

Character Interview Time! Meet Marco Vasquez. He's a Hunter (demon hunter, specifically) in Fury Rising Ebony Bowser: Let’s welcome Marco Vasquez! Marco: Hey…..
Ebony Bowser: What is your full name? Marco: [smiles at interviewer] Marco Vasquez, that’s all
Ebony Bowser: Marco, what is your most treasured possession? Marco: Gotta be my sword, Bela. It’s one of the original blades of the Angel Uriel. There were only seven forged by his own hands, and Bela is one of ‘em. Cuts through almost anything…. Ebony Bowser: Do you know who has the others? Marco: Yea, all the swords are in my family, since we kept them all in the blood. Bela chose me, so i was lucky to own that one... Ebony Bowser: Nice! I love it. Marco: Si... | | |
