Press Release: Realms of Possibility Published by Readers Magnet

A huge shout-out to Chloe Lopez and Readers Magnet for posting the article, the Realms of Possibility, about my multi-genre, multi-book Legacy Universe! 

Who doesn't love speaking about the speculative side of fiction? Or, science, fantasy, and horror? Any writer who writes in these genres understands their complexities and symbolism. 

In the Realms of Possibility, I discuss the Saint Trilogy, The Reality Hackers, and the Hode (Robin Hood) Trilogy. These stories maybe geared toward the paranormal aspects and supernatural forces within the framework of scifi, fantasy, and horror, but also check the romance box. What is a story without love? 

But do not fret, there are plenty of vampires, werewolves, and witches waiting in the wings of these novels. Mythology in the Legacy Universe is an important foundation to the entire book series. 

Immerse yourself in a universe built to engage the reader in the realms of possibility...

Remember to download the free Legacy Universe badges, bookmarks and postcards (on the individual book pages).  

Have a great and wonderful day!

Saint (II) in Communion Book Release Party

A Novelist Idea Newsletter has a variety of information on a monthly basis to assist creators use different tools in order to grow their imagination. Another one of the advantages to Undawnted's community is the exclusive release parties. This month, the Saint Trilogy is being published. 

The summer of 2018 saw the original story: Saint in the Big Easy released. With the conclusion of the series this month, DL Mullan has decided to re-release this summer adventure. Here's the scoop on the second installment, Saint in Communion:

Saint has been drawn into the age-old battle of good versus evil. Between devils, angels, and guardians, Saint has a lot to learn about her newfound reality. Her motto has gone from love me, love me not to: damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

With the local Catholic Church's Cardinal Randolph taking an interest in her abilities, Eavanlee -with the help of her guardian Girard- discovers a world hidden behind the one she knew. 

 

A secret sect of religious zealots, who call themselves: The Order of the Pure, has sought over the centuries to rid humankind of the Saint phenomenon. Their philosophy is that the Church is god's power on Earth, which to their egos makes them infallible in their assessment, and disbandment, of Saints. 

Alone with knowledge that could kill her, Eavanlee discovers that her options maybe to trust those individuals whom she shares Communion.

Art Imitates Life... but is it good Storytelling?

When does a writer and storyteller imbue their creations with a social, political, or economic reality? When does the intrusion become a spectacle instead of mood and setting to a story? 

As a writer, I have been struggling with this balance of fantasy and reality in my fiction stories for quite some time. I watched television shows that blur the lines too much and I am unable to be their viewer any longer. 

I want to be entertained not dictated or sermonized or shamed. 

I feel this way about my writing. When a character comes forth, I write that character as I am shown. I don't create circumstances in order to further a social, political, or economic agenda. I have done my research through my editorial days at the Villa de Paz Gazette to understand what is real and not real. I tend to stick to those points more than what I see on other newscasts or sites. 

Hode: The Legend Lives Again is a great example of using facts instead of the constructed false reality that pervades on the television and in movies. 

In the second installment of Hode, the character of Will Scarlet has come to me in two divergent modalities. One way has been that of a straight man. The other way was of a gay man. Which do I choose? 

I am not a Social Justice Warrior, but I am also not going to shy away from the topic either. 

Since there is so much in your face political correctness, I am heedful of using any triggering facts, figures, or events... then Saint in Communion and Saintuary comes along and my character finds herself on an old Louisiana Plantation. It is a long story. I guess you will have to read the three book series when they come out this summer.

So when is using real situations considered storytelling and when is it labeled: social justice? 

Inquiring minds want to know how to mirror reality without falling prey to its shortcomings.

Have a great and wonderful day!

Saint in the Big Easy is Completed

The new Summer Reads series: Saint is off to a fantastic start!

Saint in the Big Easy is now complete and ready for its mid-July debut. Around ten thousand words, this novelette epitomizes summer: fun, fast, and epic. 

Saint is a cross between The Dresden Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A supernatural tale of the forces of good and evil who are vying for control of humanity. Fasten your seatbelt! It's going to be quite a ride.

After a relationship breakup, Eavanlee Zilpha Lewis finds herself wandering in the Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1 in New Orleans. In the evening, she makes a wish on Marie Laveau's tomb. Will she, will she not... find love?

Little did Eavanlee (ˈē-vən-lē) know that her answer lies in the adventure of the heart and soul. A dark, mysterious stranger leads her on a journey past her preconceived notions and straight into the heart of the matter.

If the universe permits, the next two books in the series will also be released this summer. So look forward to:

Saint in the Big Easy

Saint in Communion and Saintuary
