And so it begins! I will release, free and weekly, chunks of this 63,700 word novel. Chunks will sometimes be a single chapter, or a few shorter chapters. I'll aim for an average of 1,500 words per week.
If you can't wait, just look to the sidebar, there's a link to Pay What You Want to get a full PDF. An eBook is in the works, with cost TBD. This work may also be cross-posted, piece by piece, at WattPad.com.
Warnings: This work contains violence, foul language, drug use, adult situations, and all sorts of things found in an R-rated movie. But it also features action, dark comedy, romance, political intrigue, and more!
While this is a vampire story, most of the violence is in fact not "vampire" violence, neck-biting and gore and such. I mention this because some people have issues with specific types of violence. And so, I will keyword each section (via categories) (ok, technical flubs aside, I will do this. Maybe just with a warning at the top of each post) so those people can decide if they'd rather skip it. I have in mind to do some alternate PG-13 versions of some of the more violent scenes. Because for the most part, with the exception of some detailed scenes, the violence is on-par with that of a standard action movie, gun fights, brawls, cars exploding or going into rivers such.
I consider this work a "revised draft," meaning, it's well beyond first draft, but might need some revision were it to be picked up by a publisher. But as far as I’m concerned, it’s done. In the unlikely event of a revision, information will be posted at the site and new files available for download.
I'm putting it here regardless because I want to get more of it into your hands, and sooner. I started the novel in part because I suspected I could get the first story arc written in prose faster than painting another 4 issues of double-sized comic. And much of that arc is written: There's another 150,000 words waiting in the wings to achieve this level of revision.
