"Demon World" is an exciting book that I would call not only fantasy/action adventure but also with a twist of dark horror as well. The story is about a brother and sister living in common day, yet because of a natural event everyone can see ghosts, angels, and demons as a side effect. When the angels can no longer do their jobs without being noticed, they leave, and the demons, which are unkillable, take over the world. The sister is taken prisoner by a demon prince and the brother joins a holy army in order to find her. Their destinies are tied with bringing new hope to a world which has plunged into darkness.
"Red" is my second vampire tale which is dark fantasy with the usual amount of horror involved. The main character is a woman who has been turned into a vampire and doesn't know it. An elder vampire finds her and decides to use her in taking revenge on a small town which had crippled him in the past. Her vampiric change has caused her to go insane which affects his orders and their outcome.
I am working on other books, and they are listed on my site.

I wrote "A Female Vampire" well before visiting Germany, though I must admit that the

residents remember any. Vampire research insists Germany was one of the places the
first tales of vampires originated. I can only suspect that the land and people have
changed so much between now and the times the tales were recorded that the stories
have all but been forgotten.
You say that Anne Rice is one of your favorite authors, what other vampire authors do
you enjoy, what kind of vampires do you like?
I enjoy the writings of Stephen King. I'm always admired the eerie effect his books can
bring and hoped I could give the same effect in mine. When I read "Pet Cemetery" I
went to sleep with the light on, and had a few dreams of wandering through his eerie
forest as well.
I also enjoy Nancy Collins who wrote the Sonja Blue Series. Personally, I think her
