Today marks my third published novel! Thank you to my readers who continue to support and inspire me. I love sharing my stories with you.
In celebration of another "birth" here's a brand new excerpt to share with you:
High on the bluff in the Angeles National Forest, an aristocratic figure stared down his aquiline nose deep into a ravine at the newly opened fissure in the earth. Patiently waiting, he glanced at the now darkened city in the distance as a slight breeze stirred his long hair.
Soon his plan would bear its first fruit. He took a deep breath and turned his face toward the heavens. With all the artificial light gone, the stars had burst forth in prolific glory, shining through patches of clear sky in the smoky horizon.
A movement drew the watcher’s attention. He looked back at the cracked earth.
Silent as mist, they began to emerge. The ground appeared to move, coming alive, as if it had liquefied. A new ocean formed, waves rippling in all directions. Shapeless, bodiless, the black entities oozed up out of the crack. An aftershock rumbled deep in the earth and the fissure gaped larger, allowing more of the creatures access to the night’s air. In the glittering starlight, the valley filled with a lifeform the Earth hadn’t seen in thousands of years.
Kyran smiled as he watched. The creatures paid him no attention as he stood high upon the cliff. They quickly outgrew the small clearing below.
“Go,” he willed. “Go and feed.”
The dark swirling mass drifted toward the unsuspecting city, even as more creatures continued to issue forth.
Kyran turned and walked away, leaving the ravine and its nightmares behind. Smiling to himself, pleased with his night’s work, he knew humanity had reached its end. The time of the Fae had arrived.
