I’m ever in amazement when distant dreams become a reality. This is as real as it gets. The prequel to Absolute Darkness is launching May 28, 2020.
When Darkness Begins and Absolute Darkness are Darkness Universe Novels. Both are Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I plan to stay in this universe for a while—though with different genres. I’m working on a suspense thriller now. (If you’ve been following along, you know that it is a multiverse and I expect the characters will—unknowingly—cross each other’s paths.)
When Darkness Begins is an origin story. A vampire coming-of-age origin-story. I think of it as a mature #YA since the main characters are in their teens. But – they are time-guardians and I’m pretty sure that is more responsibility than you or I have? Maybe. I hate to use the word vampire – because it isn’t like anything you have read before. I digress from most of the modern myths and stick with the oldest of folklore and add my own to it: time-travel and such. Vampire-ish, I suppose, is the best way to describe the Vechey. (Yes, there are caves.)
I’m still stunned. This is real. I completed a book in just 14 months. I could compress my writing schedule and do it faster but I like this pace. I want this to stay fun and not become a stressor. It’s balanced perfectly with my professor life now. That makes me happy.
All—I look forward to this book launch and hope that you will celebrate with me.
“To dreams!”

When Darkness Begins
If you could change time to save your first love—even if it meant turning your back on the universe—would you?
It is time for the Vechey youth to earn their place as time-guardians. The near-immortal Vechey protect the universe from the devastating Manipulators—devourers of souls, mindless seekers of chaos. First, the youth must survive a mysterious and deadly ritual created by the all-powerful clan leader Eterili. Having regenerated thousands of times with the birth of each universe, Eterili is taking this one as hers and bending all in it to her grand designs.
Catha’s time-slipping skills are underdeveloped. She is time-blind—unable to see through time, unable to protect herself from the ritual. The Vechey shun her for being different. Her parents ignore her as if she were already dead.
Aithagg loves Catha unconditionally and will do anything to save her. He tries desperately to unlock the ritual’s mysteries and find a way to help Catha survive with him. Or will saving Catha enable the Manipulators to destroy the universe?
