Native Blood is currently being worked on and I'll be posting the latest edit. Many edits are needed to whip the story into shape. I'm privately working on Book 2, release of an initial draft is TBD. Good things take time...

I'm still here. The silence/void is me creating. I'm growing my site, my new little shop full of my work and extended content, and doing lots of what I do "best" -- writing and art. I'm also eyeing little video pieces for my YT channel relevant to these dark/horror fantasy vibes.
Received my new drawing tablet to start my foray into digital art creations. I'm a traditional artist to the core, but due to my injury, i have to be realistic if I want to be productive. I have a lot of ideas and desires, but only one of me. So here we are. And this tablet is a beautiful thing, couldn't be happier right now.
My first sketch is of Native Blood character Adam Pendergast, a budding young swordsman and political hopeful in a futuristic horror story. This is the start, based on a collection of reference images to get what I want/envision. We'll see how it turns out.
This entry is [1/?] - sometimes I just repost and iterate over a first post a few times on my other accounts. I always feel like each club has a different crowd and mood, and they're all equally important to me, even if I'm not always on the same channel at that moment.
My store, which has a new membership concept so I can unload freely lots of spoiler material and insight in my process without filter, is yet another club, except this one I lease the actual facility and have to decorate with the tools available inside...
I've been writing all this time nonstop. Well, actually, revising/restructuring--I have a full book that I'm whipping into release-ready state. Of course, I'm indie, so I'm doing it all on my own, from cover to finished ebook. I invested in some programs to help me with editing and that's what's been taking all my time.
The project isn't a huge one, but I'm pretty excited about it. I've shared the first book of Native Blood (now called Harvest Night) many times over the years, and each time it finds its readers who enjoy the dark and intense journey within. This time around, I think readers will be a mix of old and new. I hope this tale continues to entertain lovers of 18+ horror.
I've hit 154,000 words, and have about 18 chapters to go. Yes, that's quite a lot. It's a big book. Not intentional, hence why this is going to live as an indie passion project, though I'll be tagging it with an ISBN to draw my line in the sand as an author.
Although at the end of this I'll be cutting as many words as possible, but I've found readers that enjoy the story have no problem reading all those words. The reason I haven't dropped the project is because I wrote a Book 2, and that one seemed to be even better liked. I have some other titles too that found their readers, so I keep writing, and now I'm releasing it so anyone can read my stuff at any time.
I'm also returning to create stuff expressly to send to publishers. With all this work I'm doing backstage (I'm really beating myself up), I'd love to connect with the right publication or publisher.
Synopsis of my current pride and joy:
NATIVE BLOOD: HARVEST NIGHT [Book One]
Rated R: Violence, Sexuality, Mature or Disturbing Themes
Genres: Horror, Scifi-Fantasy, Drama, Supernatural (Vampire/Zombie/Cosmic)
Themes: War, Love, Friendship, Family, Identity, Technology
Elias Pendergast, leader of a company of hunters on an alien planet, discovers signs of a dangerous attack the same night his teenage brother attends an illegal underground party.
Other Notes:
This book follows 3 distinct POV characters--Elias Pendergast, president of Silatem; Adam Pendergast, his teenage brother and graduating senior; and Talitha Morai, a native orphan who was brought into human society through a Pendergast charity foundation.
Elias and Adam are estranged and both affected by their father's execution by a native warleader. Talitha lives among humans and is struggling with hostile attitudes for her bloodline, though the Pendergasts are one of many entities that attempt to broker peace between natives and humans.
The occupation of "Hunter" exists because although natives and humans can breed, the volatility of the mix sometimes sparks rabidity. I'll also mention the natives are immortal blood drinkers and this is their planet, so they love the sun. It's part of who they are and their native beliefs. The bite's an open hobby/therapy/fetish(all the above) between humans and natives, but that also can spark rabidity. Hunters are quite busy worldwide. My humans are from our Earth, though farther in the future, and yeah, my natives know about our vampire stories. :)
The plotline I've written above is exactly what to expect the book to be about, but I explore the bigger story around it too. That's why it's on the longer side, so it's great for readers that like character and world development alongside the plot. My writer tag line's always, "Long Dark Tales For Long Dark Night." That's what Native Blood, and my other stories, are--only Rated R and I'm not kidding, if you're more affected, it can be scary or upsetting.
If my premise stokes questions in you, it's likely I've thought about it and have/will address it. My humans can't get off this planet and don't know why, they have no idea why their civilization crashed there, and they want to go home--but after 1000 years, they've become quite comingled.
I do know where they are, why they're there, and if they can go home. That's the plotline of the series. But first, let's start with Harvest Night. It's a standalone book, so you never have to read past the first to get a full story, but if you want to proceed...the first book is directly tied to what happens later.
That's what I'm doing right now. I hope by the end of August I'll have a full draft ready to cut to final length.
(This story is inspired by so many things, both ficitional and not. No matter what else you see or how pretty/neat/funny it seems, don't be distracted--I write horror. Don't say I didn't warn you.)
I'm currently rewriting the first book of Native Blood, now titled 'Harvest Night.' I've been researching, meditating, and now working on this for a long while. It's a revamped version of the full draft that readers have experienced before. This one's intended for a self-pub release, hopefully before the end of 2024.
Native Blood is a long, dramatic horror tale that follows a cast of personalities as they navigate an alien world that a human population hasn't been able to leave for 1000 years. Both humans and the natives of the planet face a dangerous parasitical infection spurred by their comingling. Concept was created in late 2013 with a full draft completed in 2014. Ten years later, after many evolutions and even a completed sequel, with another on the way, it's time to finalize Volume 01.
Fans of vampire and zombie fiction that also desire complex/layered character development and intense dark plots that can be followed for a while may enjoy this series.
Story is Rated R/Mature and contains disturbing and/or upsetting content, violence, blood, and strong sexuality.
Interested in reading? I'll be sharing the in-progress draft live as I'm working on it, which means edits and adjustments can be made at any time until the project's complete. Edits are for style, the content has already been created and shared in the past. I don't intend on changing the content, so readers who rediscover this story don't have to learn everything anew.
It'll read different this time around, intended to be more interesting/exciting but it's the same story. :)
