Richard Albert Blackwell III sipped his wine staring at the antique grandfather clock standing against the wall. Time was passing by slowly, and he had watched quite a bit of it. In fact, in a few months, Richard would be five thousand years old. Vampires rarely lived that long, and Richard currently was the eldest of them all. Five thousand years was a landmark achievement, because legend had it that they became day walkers at by that time. As a wealthy business man, Richard looked forward to being able to run his companies during the day time, but he knew something was missing. He knew he needed something to establish himself as a real person. Richard knew a billionaire couldn't show up one day out of the blue with no backstory. He needed stability. He needed validity.
During the day, he writes software for an accounting software and business management software company. He tends to his salsa garden, his cats, and he spends time with his wife and kids. He is just the average husband with a normal routine.
But, at night, when the sun is gone and the moon is out, Brian Woods turns into a living legend. He writes fantasy, science fiction, and even some paranormal/horror stories.
Since 2011, Brian has gone on to publish many books, novellas, and short stories for more than five publishers.
He has been published along side great novelists like Roy C. Booth, Kevin J Anderson, and Tamara Scaggs.
Check out his newest novel, Valdity, or look into his other works with Werecat Tales, Suruale, Valkron, or even Chords of Charis.
And his editing work is everywhere, including his newest book from Tamara Scaggs, Retribution!
