Now, I’m dead.
Okay, I was supposed to be dead. I got killed after all; but a funny thing happened after I had turned the mortal coil...
I met Dante Alighieri - yeah, that Dante. He told me I was special, a diuscrucis. That’s what they call a perfect balance of human, demon, and angel. Apparently, I’m the only one of my kind.
I also learned that there was a war raging on Earth between Heaven and Hell, and that I was the only one who could save the human race from annihilation. He asked me to help, and I was naive enough to agree.
Sounds crazy, I know, but he wished me luck and sent me back to the mortal world. Oh yeah, he also gave me instructions on how to use my Divine "magic” to bend the universe to my will. The problem is, a sexy vampire crushed them while I was crushing on her.
Now I have to somehow find my own way to stay alive in a world of angels, vampires, werewolves, and an assortment of other enemies that all want to kill me before I can mess up their plans for humanity’s future. If that isn’t enough, I also have to find the queen of all demons and recover the Holy Grail.
It’s not like it’s the end of the world if I fail.
Wait. It is.
Tears of Blood (Books 1-3)

One thousand years ago, the world was broken and reborn beneath the boot of a nameless, ageless tyrant. He erased all history of the time before, enslaving the people and hunting those with the power to unseat him.
The power of magic.
Eryn is such a girl. Born with the Curse, she fights to control and conceal it to protect those she loves. But when the truth is revealed, and his soldiers come, she is forced away from her home and into the company of Silas, a deadly fugitive tormented by a fractured past.
Silas knows only that he is a murderer who once hunted the Cursed, and that he and his brothers butchered armies and innocents alike to keep the deep, dark secrets of the time before from ever coming to light.
Secrets which could save the world.
Or destroy it completely.

“No,” you cry. “I will not submit myself to even more inbox spam. I have quite enough garbage coming in from people and places that I care a lot more about than you.”
“But,” I reply, “if you sign up for my mailing list, you’ll know when my next book is out. Don’t you want to know when my next book is out?”
“Eh… I can follow you on Amazon. They’ll tell me when your book is out.”
“True enough, but they’ll let you know three weeks after the book’s release. You’ll get an e-mail from me within the first few days. Not enough? Consider that a mailing list is very valuable to an author, especially a self-published soul such as myself. I don’t have a marketing team, and I don’t have exposure in brick and mortar stores around the world to help improve my readership. All I have is you, my awesome readers. What do you say?”
Silence.
Followed by crickets.
Followed by more silence.
“Where’d you go?” I ask. “Well, I’ll just leave this here, in case you change your mind.”
