Merry Christmas

He will bring us goodness and light.

 

William Adolphe Bouguereau, Song of the Angels, 1881

 

A beautiful and blessed Christmas to all.

Christmas Kindle Sale: 3 Books at 0.99

To celebrate the Christmas season, from now until January 6, On the Soul of a Vampire, the first book in the On the Soul Series, and both books of the Friar Tobe Fairy Tale Files, Mareritt and Vingede, are on sale on Amazon Kindle for only 0.99.

For some it takes a lifetime to discover their raison d’être. Imagine searching for eight centuries. In 1997 Philadelphia, an 800 year old vampire comes face to face with his reason to be when he discovers a young mortal woman whose understanding of immortality is about to change all he’s known as truth. Obsessed with the mystery of her knowledge, he embarks on a journey that leads him not only to his childhood home in the Provençal Alps, but into his greatest hopes and dreams, fears and disappointments, and into the strange and frightening past that shaped him. A novel about faltering faith and never-ending hope, On the Soul of a Vampire will not only alter everything you think you know about vampires, it will change the way you see your very soul.

 

 

 

As beauty lies sleeping…

 

Four pretty, partying high school seniors, four strange and startling accidents the police believe the girls have brought on themselves. Do demonic nightmares and fairy tale visions bury a dark secret haunting the girls or is the past simply struggling to reach the light?

 

Twenty-eight year old former novitiate turned PI, Tobias Berger, hired to discover who, if anyone, is threatening the four troubled young women, is about to embark on a wild “mare ride” to slay their dragon and uncover the truth.

 

A dark fairy tale mystery with a touch of mystic light.

 

 

 

A possibly schizophrenic adolescent boy who speaks mysterious, rhyming riddles… a mute teen girl who can only communicate through art and has an odd collecting habit… Two young people held captive by unrelated mental illness or is there a sinister connection between the cases – a swan song cry no one has yet heard?

 

When former novitiate turned PI, Tobias Berger, is hired by the foster father of a teen whom his unusual new client believes may have knowledge of an undiscovered crime, the private eye finds himself immersed in two cases stranger and darker than the one which introduced him to his current secretary, a young woman who’s much more to him than an employee. As the pieces in an eerie puzzle come together and the couple begins a relationship that Tobias has been hesitant to let take flight, the two discover that the supernatural is far from done with them and that the mystical may well be at work in more than one aspect of their lives.

 

Another fairy tale mystery in which the paranormal proves itself business as usual.

 

 

I'm also currently finishing work on my fifth book, a new stand-alone novel, called Unless, which is in a different genre from my previous supernatural/metaphysical fiction stories. It's a New Adult/Contemporary Fiction novel about power, pain and the problem of physical pleasure that can know a body but can't know a person. A sneak peek at the cover and preliminary book description will be coming soon and an early 2014 release is expected.

 

A beautiful and blessed Christmas to those who celebrate it and a happy holiday season to all.

 

For Our Angel
