Doctor Malcolm St. Graves felt out of his element. Blood soaked through his white suit; pain soaked through his skin. His breaths came in ragged gasps. He fought his way through the smoke, through the endless dark and realized he was lost. The old man ran his hands through his bloody, sweaty hair. Damn! He had never seen his plans fall apart so rapidly. Th...
'A New Beginning' is another of my literary experiments, this time a parallel story in two parts. Part 1 was the story as told by Patrick. The second part is the same story told by Rachel, ending with a convergence of both parts that lead into the conclusion. The conversations between Rachel and Patrick remain the same, highlighting what was going on in the...
This is basically a rewrite of a previous story, 'A New Beginning' It has been fleshed out and a different ending added, to please those who told me that the previous ending was rushed. I'll probably be criticised now for drawing it out too long. Ah well, you can't please them all. CM * She was a pharmaceutical blonde, of that I was almost certain, she was...
Chapter Five Was this really necessary?" Demetri Bozic asked tersely, his eyes never leaving the dais as the new Council was acknowledged and the vampire nation's standard laws were read out as was customary when The Council rotated. He was irritated because he was close to Andrei and didn't like having to ruin his moment. His friend's words resounded in C...

I first met Rhianna after she received her Bachelor's Degree from the local university and she came to work for the company where I was working. She accepted a very lucrative job offer from the fashion clothing company whose offices were located in a suburb of a major city where we worked and lived. She was very excited about the job and being associated wit...
So we reach the penultimate chapter! I seriously thought this would end at chapter 15 but I got a little carried away LOL! It's been quite a rollercoaster ride with this one and I'd like to thank all of you for being along for that ride. You've been brilliant! The Epilogue will post in approx 3-4 days time! It's a longish chapter and the last I will post i...
Once more real life got in the way of posting up the final chapters of Hearts. I had to prioritise the rewrite of FTI to meet a publishing submission deadline that came up unexpectedly (Wish me luck LOL). It's all done now so here is the penultimate chapter of Hearts. I will be submitting the final chapter this weekend so it should post up a few days after...
"Stop!" Loretta screamed out hoarsely as she struggled in the painful grip of the vampire who held her so effortlessly. "She belongs to Nors Eriksson! The Ancient! He'll gut you all alive if you hurt her!" She clutched at the only thing she could think of which would protect her friend, Nors' status among his own kind. All three vampires appeared to freeze...
She had always been different then everyone she knew. Her skin was a touch lighter then all the others in her land. That was not what made her different, that chore belong to her eyes. They sparkled in a bright turquoise color. Where she was from everyone's skin was dark. Darker than even an entire week in the sun could make it. All her life she had seen no...
