History believes me to be a merciless savage. A terror upon the Earth known as The Impaler. Archaic lore whispers I am the first of the vampire lineage.
These claims … are all painted in bloody truth.
Now, while the world watches in fear, a war is brewing. Humans are targeting vampires in merciless attacks to force us back into the shadows.
They woke me to be their weapon.
They know not my loathing for my own kind.
Even I cannot say for certain whose side I’m on.

I have bowed before the alter of darkness rooted in the Nosferatu bloodline. Been forced to drink of its bitter sacrament. They refer to me as The Son of The Dragon, and I laugh. For I, alone, know that malevolent essence is one no man could ever tame.
Fantastic writing and great characters.
When you think you understand the real Vlad he surprises you.
Humor along side the serious was perfect. Highly recommend!!
It’s a passion for storytelling that’s always been inside me. I get these story ideas, and almost become obsessed until I can develop them see them mature into a completed work.
What is your favorite book?
How could I possibly pick just one?! I loved Gone Girl, The Martian, Warm Bodies, The House of Night Series, The Hunger Games, I could literally go on and on forever.
What was your favorite book to write?
I love challenging myself with new stories, genres, or complex characters. With each new book, I like to try something new, therefore it’s hard for me to pick an absolute favorite. If I had to, I would probably say Rise of the Sea Witch. That book was a true labor of love.
What is your favorite animal? Dogs!
