Why do writers write? Whether it's fiction or nonfiction, poetry or plays, writers use words to transport readers, inform readers or entertain readers and from the simplest blog post to the greatest novel, it's emotionally satisfying. I did it because I had a story to tell. After a failed attempt of writing simply to satisfy what publishers thought the readers wanted I set out to write something that I would enjoy reading myself and hoped others would too. Below I've touched on what inspired me to write each book and what the books are about...
With Blood Hunger by default you'll find elements of pop culture hits Twilight, True Blood, Vampire Diaries due to their source material but what I've set about doing with Blood Hunger is give a fresh reinvention of the vampire legend. As well as traditional folklore I've encompassed the spirit of Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula', Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novella 'Carmilla'. The story premise is that of
an explorer making a discovery in Romania, dubbed the 'Ice Prince' find it is significant enough to put him and his girlfriend Lucia Ferrara in the media spotlight. Iliana and her sister's journey to the United Kingdom, news that the 'Ice Prince' had been discovered ceases their many years of blood abstinence and they unleash a bloodthirsty terror on humankind leaving a trail of death from London to the Welsh countryside.
From the fall of the vampire and the Dracul brothers in medieval Europe to their return in the present day. Prepare yourself, their first bite will be your last!
Also you can sink your teeth into a bloodthirsty, gruesome and vicious comic tale adaptation. The first issue here. based on the book Blood Hunger.
With DEAD PULSE I set about to re-imagine and pay homage to George A. Romero undead. Lucio Fulci films also inspired zombie horror adventure.
The dead have returned to life...
The world's focus is on the city of Ravenswood and the once idyllic town of Farmore as platoons and scattered survivors fight the hordes of the dead, unbeknownst one of them holds the key to end the undead's reign of mayhem. Across the city at a body disposal plant a small group take shifts on the 'death watch'. Their hopes hinge on the soldiers of Farmore to rescue them. But with no contact for months, no food and surrounded by the dead, have they got what it takes to survive?
With death at their door, only time can tell...
The Breathing Dead Tales encompasses both books and is only available as an eBook exclusive to Amazon. With them both read together you can see the subtext of how they are 'linked' ever so slightly.
I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did writing them. Please leave a review wherever possible and spread the word. Thanks
