Angel Blade is getting closer

A world haunted by demons, possessing the living.  One woman has the chance to stop them.

Angel Blade is the story of Nikka, a young woman dying of cancer in the hospital until a stranger offers her a cure in exchange for becoming a demon hunter.

What would you do if you were offered the chance to live, but everything in your world would change forever? No family. No friends. Only the one imperative:  stop the demon horde that has come to earth.

The debut novel in a series, Angel Blade is a story that came to be while I was recovering from extensive foot surgery that left me unable to walk for the better part of 18 months, and yes there were probably some pain killers involved in the initial stages of everything.  With a lot of down-time, my mind began to spark with imagination and poof:  Angel Blade was born.  It is inspired by my love for graphic novels, especially the Hellblazer series (which became Constantine when it changed publishing houses) and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series by Joss Whedon.

But, most importantly, the initial idea first ignited when I was sitting in a movie theater shortly after my first foot surgery, waiting for the movie to start.  It was during the holiday season and we always see the initial commercials start before the movie trailers even begin.  Of course, the St. Jude's Children's Hospital ad began to play.  These are always such beautiful commercials, showing us the brave children that fight cancer every day.  And then the first idea came to me: I wanted a heroine who fought that same battle.  She would know what it felt like to fight and to live at the brink of death, long before anything supernatural came charging toward her.

And that was the beginning of a great story.  Through revisions and editing (and much thanks to my Beta readers who have helped in that endeavor), Angel Blade is coming and you will soon learn about the seraph, and the differences between drones, lieutenants and generals among the legions of demons.  I 've seen the initial format and layouts and I am so excited.  I can't wait until it is ready to unveil. It will be available in ebook and hardcopy formats, through everything from Kindle to Amazon to Barnes and Noble.  The cover art is currently in production and when it's ready, I will debut it here.

Shortly, I will be giving everyone a sneak peak of the first chapter, so stay tuned!

And as always,
I want one million dollars!
