Crimson Twilight -
The First Novel
CRIMSON TWILIGHT introduces readers to the
world of the undead.The protagonist,
Dominick Evans, is being evaluated by the Ancient Council of the
Vampiric race who must decide if he is worthy of a spot on the
council despite only being a vampire for 208 years.The council faces the prospect of war, and without
Dominick, there is little chance to successfully prevent the
dissention within the race.
CRIMSON TWILIGHT is so much more
then the typical fantasy novel.The
vampires reflect the humanity they once possessed, allowing readers
the chance to actually relate too many of the events that
occur.They make human
mistakes.They let mortal emotions rule
them.The question as to why this occurs
is simply because mortality is where they came from.In some instances they know no other way of
life.Others choose to remain in the
midst of the mortals.They cannot raise
suspicion so for all intents and purposes they are mortal.
In
this novel, there are no campy vampire-isms though the one true
ability that separates them from mortality is their true sense of
diversity and acceptance that long goes unnoticed in the mortal
world.
CRIMSON TWILIGHT features multiple
storylines.While the main plot focuses
on the VOSC's (Vampire Observation and Security Council) decision
to allow Dominick, and two others, onto the council and why they
need to do this in the first place, the book also highlights the
underlying romance between Dominick and his wife Ashtyn, the
council's long held secrets, and the long held animosity those
within the race hold for one another.
CRIMSON TWILIGHT has the
potential to become the next cult classic if given the
chance.

Reflections of
Evil- Conner Donovan the resident psychologist at Kramdyn
University, has always loved studying the complexity of the
mind.During his case studies he
concluded that perception of an individual in a societal situation
can cause them to react in certain ways.Conner notes the case of his own twin brother,
Carson.Carson has always looked
suspicious and society has always pointed the finger at
him.This has caused Carson to lead a
life filled with petty crime, and stints in and out of
jail.As Conner probes deeper into the
intricacies of the mind the town surrounding Kramdyn is struck with
fear.There is a serial killer on the
loose, and no one is safe.The attacks
appear to be random, yet pre-meditated, and there is no set M.O.
for the victims.Conner is the only one

this cunningly, terrifying killer's list?
