For those of you who remember way back when, The Curtis Reincarnation started out as serial fiction with Torquere Press. After a year and a half off, and not posting or publishing any new fiction, I’m pleased – and very nervous – to bring you a new FREE serial fiction called Emrys Amara, available on my Blog, Broken Pencil.
http://zathynpriest.com/brokenpencilThis is a fully illustrated graphic novella and I’ll post new chapters regularly. Please be aware the story is gay fiction and certain chapters will contain images of a homoerotic nature. If you’re easily offended, please don’t click the link. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it as a gift from me to you, and a thank you for everyone who has stuck by me and supported during my time away from writing.
Blurb My name is Matthew Mitchell. I’m a vampire slayer. My return to Nottingham wasn’t to recapture memories of youth. It was to put an end to the choke hold rogue Amara half-breeds put on that part of England. My husband, Dean Sutton, and I arrived determined to track down Amdis, the leader of the rogues, and kill him. Chances were, if I had to put up with Dean for much longer, I’d want to kill him, too.
The noble purebred Amara’s were long gone. Dairy pages, supposedly written by legendary Emrys Amara, were fraudulent. That was what I believed. Nothing could convince me otherwise. A teenage vampire couldn’t survive without his family. Emrys was sixteen when turned by the equally as legendary Mihangel Amara. That’s if he’d ever existed at all.
The only good vampire is a dead vampire. Another thing I fervently believed. As my marriage crumbled around me, I found myself drawn into the arms of another. Dean’s taunts haunted me: He’s not centuries old, Matthew, he’s been sixteen for centuries. He’ll always be sixteen. You’re sick for fantasising about a child.
I’d fallen in love with a vampire. Emrys Amara stole my heart completely, and then broke it when he made me vow to kill him in return for killing Amdis. I took the vow. Then I prayed to a God I didn’t believe in for my love to be enough to change his mind.
