The First Multi-Racial Multi-Ethnic Young Adult Urban Fantasy

Happy New Years

With the release of Smoke & Demons (order it if you haven’t) I’m proud to say that my Tales of Urban Horror series is the first YA multi-ethnic urban Fantasy effort on the stands
There remains this sentiment that a good story is all that matters, I agree in part because the reader still wants to identify with the character and my series allow readers of diverse backgrounds to do that
Try the light up test

Give a copy of one of my novels to a reader of color that enjoys vampires, werewolves and other spirits that go bump in the night and watch them light up!
In that moment you will understand

 

Smoking with Demons

Taking it to Santa

Unless you are an established author with a built in fan base a catchy cover may not be enough to bring attention to your work especially on the internet. That’s where book trailers come in handy. In a 30 seconds or less the viewer can get the gist of what your work.

I’ve enjoyed making trailers for my novels but I’ve hit a wall in terms of how many times I can say sweeping novel?

Allow me to introduce you to Blac and Dub Dub, they will be marketing my books from this day forward. In their first adventure their Christmas Eve plans are cut short for a mission that involves jolly Saint Nick

 

enjoy

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Below is a photo of the Night Biters cover model
Michelle. To say the least Michelle is a triple threat, Gorgeous, talented, (singer/musician) and probably the smartest person in whatever room she’s in.

I was truly fortunate to be able to work with her

Thanks Michelle

 

Happy Halloween

So I walk into the Verizon store to get a phone, and the walls are covered with posters from their Rule the Air campaign, my friend joked, “They look a lot like your book covers.” I had to confess there were strong similarities.  But hey, I like my book covers and I like the posters from the Rule the Air campaign. I hope Verizon feels the same way about my Read the Page campaign

Are Too Many Cat Lovers Writing Werewolf Stories?

Wolves are VERY intelligent, probably in the top 10 of the World’s most intelligent creatures. Although nowhere near the intelligence of Humans, apes or dolphins , they certainly  rank above bears and domesticated dogs and are perhaps equal with big cats and are only slightly behind pigs and carrion crows. That said, I continue to be amazed at how werewolves are treated on shows like True Blood, mutts to be kicked around) the Underworld series, (slaves) Harry Potter series (cursed,  and forced to live outside of normal society and steal food to survive) even in Stephanie Meyer series the werewolf for all of his loyalty (couldn’t get the girl.)

I’m a vampire fan, my first novel Night Biters was about vampires, Werewolves the Mix Tape is about a Werewolf.

But Mix Tape also address something that I’m not seeing  in other stories, that werewolves are intelligent, loyal, brave and extremely social. In Mix Tape, my werewolf abandons his pack to save his human friend because he was loyal to her before he was a werewolf. In my forthcoming novel, Smoke and Demons, exploits the fact  that when the chips are down, werewolves are the paranormal beast you want around

wiki answers states that Wolves are also in the top 10 most MISUNDERSTOOD animals, I guess that also apply to werewolves.
