From time immemorial we have been fascinated by what happens to us after we die. Because of this, writers and story-tellers have always explored topics such as death, ghosts, the paranormal and the afterlife.
Our human brains are naturally geared towards finding meaning in everything, so it makes sense that people would tell each other stories as a way to try and make sense of things that went bump in the night. Whenever there is something mysterious in life, there will be countless theories...

Writing Believable Supernatural Characters

 
It mayseem a little paradoxical to say that your supernatural characters need to bebelievable. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, multi-dimensional beings, and all theother varieties of paranormal personalities are based very much in ourcollective consciousness as being fantastical creatures, so how could theypossibly be written to seem 'realistic'?

It has been a amazing year for me. This month marks the one year anniversary since I published my novel. And although I have not had great success like most authors I read about in their first year.

Making Top 100!!

I was skeptical about putting my book up for free for a few days, but since the sales are very slow I decided...what the heck.

The first book I put up for free was The Antidote (Book #1 in the Lukos Trilogy). I was able to get 622 downlodes for free. That was cool, I though. But I wanted to try a different book, s...

"If you want your kitten, come to Purr Island and bringthe son of the Lukos traitor." I kept playing that message over and overon Cherish phone. "Uhm...themessage is not going to change Ale," Cherish said as she looked down at me withher arms crossed over chest. I sat at the dining room table at Vora's house.

I mean yes it is a wonderful paycheck, but Ifeel like my creative juices are being sucked from me. 
So, about mycreative juices being suck from me. I have so many ideas during the day, butwhen I come home it is something totally...
