I have been working hard trying to finish my second novel. It is still in the horror genre (that is what I do best) This one is a Vampire story. A viscious, cruel evil vampire story. The kind of vampires that you definitely do not want to kiss. The teenage love sick vampires make me want to puke.
For this one I went back to the ancient folklore of medievil Europe and the ancient Hebrew mythology to find the origin of the vampire character. It is amazing how old some of these stories go. Which strikes me as really strange since the popular belief is that Vampires do not exist. It does make you wonder.
Is is said that their greatest strength is that no one believes in them. I found out that in the beginning of time (in folklore) that the Earth was created to be a perfect place. The Garden of Eden was where the first humans walked in paradise. But it is written that Adam had a first wife named Lilith. She was formed from detrius and unclean things and as a result, she was an evil creature. Once I started down this path I found tomes of literature about her.

She was cast out of Eden because she did not submit to God's commands and she subsequently gave birth to hundreds of evil entities. Look at this picture closely. The figure in the tree has a feminine face and a serpents tail.
It is more obvious here. This speaks to me that where there is good, there is also evil. The balance of the universe, the Yin and the Yang if you will.
This was where I started with a new work. I will not say anymore about it, because I don;t want to give anything away just yet.
I should have this book finished in a few weeks, and hopefully it will be printed shortly after. Stay tuned for more crazy twisted plot lines and the OMG moments that I am becoming famous for.

I love to create tales of horror and suspense. My mentors have been Alfred Hitchcock,Edgar Allen Poe and of course Stephen King. I began to dabble with writing as early as middle school, and progressed to film making and script writing later in my schooling.
My love for the horror genre goes back to my childhood when I would sneak out of bed and creep in the living room to watch the late show. In that day we had a large black and white, stereo console TV. In order not to wake up anyone else, I had to sit on the floor next to the speaker with the volume so low that I could barely hear it. So that means I was also sitting next to the screen, and when the monster jumped out, so did I.
