An Excerpt: "Don't Mind the Troll"
The troll grunted. As he turned to leave, Mordred stepped in through the open doorway.
"Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize you had a guest."
"I was just leaving." The troll turned back to face the Wards. "Heed my warning. The Fae are a force to be reckoned with."
"The Fae?" Mordred asked. "My mother, Morgana le Fey, was one of the most powerful of your kind."
The troll studied the warlock. "Aye, then you would be her half-breed whelp. You bear the stench of mortals."
"I am not mortal," Mordred repli...

An Excerpt: The Devil gives the demon Lucifer a task
The Devil was seated on his ivory throne, grasping the human skulls of his armrests. He rose from the throne of bones and stood on his furred, faun-like feet. "Thank you, Asmodeus. You may go. I wish to speak to Lucifer alone." The tri-headed demon bowed and retreated.
"Lucifer, your time amongst the mortals makes you an ideal candidate for this mission. I will provide you with a glamour to appear as the wizard Balthazar. I shall send you into the past, where you shall meet Caliban at the star...

An Excerpt: Meet Kita, the kitsune
The sun had set. The fox awoke and approached the pagoda. She stopped at the entrance. The fox stood on her hind legs and grew, morphing into a young Japanese woman. The kitsune opened the glass door and, as the pulchritudinous young woman entered the building, she left behind a fox's reflection on the glass.
The director of the Japanese division of Nosferatu, Inc. had her back to the kitsune, as she perused a handful of typed papers. The vampire appeared to be an attractive Japanese woman in ...

An Excerpt: Meet Cody Fenris
Lupe saw Lamia advance on them, and she growled before leaping onto the creature. The demoness swatted the wolf with a single blow and Lupe was sent flying across the alley.
Cody turned at the growl, in time to see his sister smacked in mid-air and now sprawled motionless on the ground. "No!" he cried, as his blood vessels constricted in anger. His heart raced and his body responded, triggering the transformation not due for at least another hour. He doubled over in pain, and Pandora watched, ...

Creatures of the Night
In Paved With Good Intentions, Keith B. Darrell's 2009 debut humourous fantasy novel, readers were introduced to wickedly funny assortment of angels, demons, witches, warlocks, vampires, and even a golem. Little did they realize he was laying the groundwork for the next wave of paranormal characters they'll meet in And A Child Shall Lead Them, Book Two of the "Halos & Horns" series.
Meet Asabi, a teenage boy who, as an emere can travel between Earth and the Heavenly realms at will; Siofra, a...

Who's Your Daddy?
Demon or Warlock? That was only one of the questions lingering in the minds of readers of Paved With Good Intentions, Keith B. Darrell's debut humourous fantasy novel in 2009. "'Who's the father?' was probably the question I was asked most about Paved With Good Intentions," the author admits. "Then they would ask about the seuqel, and I would reply, 'What sequel?' I thought it was over." Readers disagreed.
Other questions remained. Was Sharon truly cured of her vampirism? If her memory had bee...
