I am working on my current book, Written In BLOOD, due to be published sometime later this month. It is a picaresque romp through the 17th and 18th centuries as we follow two of my vampire heroes in search of a proper home.

@ Michael Cogdill - it did not used to be the case. I now fear that my book The Black Witch will suffer for such sanitization, because it is about the 17th century and predates many laws against exploitation of what are called "children" (who were considered adults by the time they were 14). I also talk about slavery and forced prostitution. If that is the case, and people begin to apply modern law and standards of morality on all literature, then we will be raising a new generation of naive people with no concept of the brutal reality they will be confronted with when they venture out into the world. Better to leave books alone as an example of "free speech", and concentrate on prosecuting those who really do need pruning, like child pedophiles and pornographers. Archtypes exist to nurture the truth, and to remove them from books is sacrilege.

Hi, I'm new to this group and would like to promote my work. I write the Children of The Dragon series of SF/vampire fusion books, which crossover into other genres beside. I have 7 published and am working on an 8th at the moment. I have received good reviews so far so I must be doing something right, but need more people to actually take notice. I believe I have something to offer anyone in search of good, thought provoking literature.
