is offering  

RETRIBUTION! Book One of The Champion Chronicles as a FREE E-BOOK

The Champion Chronicles Trilogy is one unique hero’s journey through a deadly showdown with evil, both without and within. Michael Malone has walked the earth for 300 years. He is a formidable creature of the night. Two hundred years into his reign of terror, the vampire is shown his own miserable soul—and he wants it back.

Mystically enhanced, Michael learns to control the beast within, and alone, he fumbles through his new existence. Manipulated by a Dark Seer, he fathers a boy child, but moments after birth, Lukas is taken from his arms, hidden from the evil ones and kept safe. Haunting the dimensional hub, hoping to some day glimpse his son, Michael observes a girl walking with her father. And drawn to her innocence, he later learns Alana is a Guardian of Souls, a mystical hunter of demons that bring death and mayhem to this dimension.

He waits. He watches. And as Alana Ciminio begins her own mystical journey, they fall in love. But this is a forbidden love, and when he finally walks away from her, the mystically enhanced vampire seeks revenge. For his son Lukas, for the evil ones who want his Guardian dead.

Retribution! opens with Michael’s personal battle of attrition. One against many. Captured and poisoned, the same angel who taught him to master the beast within guides his fading spirit to survival. But Michael’s destiny is about to be rewritten.

Will this Champion embrace the challenge?

Will he surrender to the love in his soul?

Will he allow his Guardian to lead him home?

Author Talk - November 15th

I'll be speaking about writing at FELICIAN COLLEGE on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011. The presentation, complete with Power Point, will be held from 6 - 7 pm in the Lodi Campus Library.

Felician College has an Author's Club with 20 aspiring writers. How great is that? Since I'm a graduate of Immaculate Conception HS, this is perhaps one of the most thrilling experiences - to be back on the beautiful Felician Campus.

A writer often uses life experiences in their novels. For anyone who has read Retribution! there is a scene where Michael talks about his most malicious act as a creature of the night. When writing that passage, memories of sitting in the convent's Chapel, a holy place of prayer, came back as vivid as it was 43 years ago. I wrote Michael's memory of that fateful night well aware of the juxtaposition of something soulless in the midst of pure serenity. It became the crucial reason why he wanted to destroy himself and the demon within. Instead, the vampire regained his soul. That was also the point in my first book where I knew there would be a second book to continue Michael's journey of redemption. Little did I realize there would be a third book as well.

The presentation is about the journey into writing a novel, a few things I've learned along the way, and some tips about editing. The event is open to the public.
Please join me and the Author's Club if you can.

Felician College Library ~ 262 South Main St. Lodi, NJ 07644
Tuesday night, November 15th 6 - 7 pm.

THE VAMPIRE'S TOUCH

Congratulations, Shela!! The Vampire's Touch has a cover by my favorite artist at The Wild Rose Press, Angela Anderson. She's done a terrific job on all three covers in The Champion Chronicles Trilogy and I was thrilled to find out that she delivered Shela's cover as well. 

THE VAMPIRE'S TOUCH, Shela Sky's debut novella, is a sensual paranormal romance between Genevieve Morgan, a good witch, and Drummond Laborde, a mysterious creature of the night. The setting is Yule, also known as Christmastime. Early reviews have been great. So feast your eyes and do stop back to read one of those early reviews soon.
