I'm being stalked by strange characters. One is a guy we suspect is a vampire but he's not quite out of the closet (Late Bite and Lycanthrope Rising). Another who denies he's the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes is a world class chef and sommelier because he has the world's most sensitive sniffer. That gift also means he can smell murder.
Okay, this is supposed to be about me but I'm a pretty dull read in comparison. For longer than I care to remember, I earned my keep as a daily newspaper journalist and persuaded Judy to marry me because I had a steady income. We raised two incredible daughters who have long since graduated from university and are smart, powerful women who make the world a better place..
All that time in newspapers I was definitely more Clark Kent than Superman other than the occasional flight of imagination. Now those practiced fingers are now tapping out thriller stories and, surprise! people seem to like them.
I'm a fan of the Frederick Forsyth plot twist, an admirer of Lee Child's action scenes, and jealous of Seth Grahame-Smith's zany mashups – Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I hope my readers see elements of these writers in what I've written - pulse pounding action, gut wrenching plot twists, and whacky mashed up characters and genres.
Judy and I live in Wortley Village, a quaint neighbourhood in London Ontario, far from vampires, shape-shifters and superheroes. Now that's personal.
Lycanthrope Rising: The True Story Behind the Vampire-Werewolf Wars is Book II in The Toronto Vampire Chronicles.
The horror thriller follows the events in Late Bite, Book I in The Toronto Vampire Chronicles, but carries a storyline that works as a stand alone mystery.
Lycanthrope Rising moves at pulse-pounding speed following the arrest of Dragul Mangorian and tracking the public reaction that he's the last of the Homo Sanguinus, a race of vampires. The event awakens an ancient and terrifying enemy, The Lycanthrope Clan.
The Lycans are a special breed of humans whose mastery of technology, animalistic ferocity and alliance with wolves saved mankind from enslavement by the Sanguinus.
The violent clashes of the Sanguinus and Lycans over millennia populated the lore in every culture on Earth with their legends of blood suckers, werewolves, and shapeshifters.
The wars ended after the Lycans learned of the Sanguinus' secret vulnerability, a low fertility rate, and used it to drive the Blood Eaters into extinction, or so they thought.
Mangorian's capture in Toronto raises him to celebrity status as the ultimate 'bad boy' in Toronto, a city that champions diversity and minority rights — even those for someone who's not quite human. The Sanguinus enthusiastically agrees to work with scientists who want to unlock secrets held in his genome. He's 208 years old and is immune to cancer and blood borne pathogens.
In exchange, the scientists give Mangorian genetic and fertility support to help him revive his species. His quest shifts into high gear when he discovers Skyla whose one-in-a-billion First Nations genome makes it possible for her to become the Eve to his kind.
The Lycans' blood lust explodes and won't be satisfied until they complete the extinction of the Homo Sanguinus.
The rich and powerful Lycans recruit former playboy Tim Gracey and his stripper girlfriend to lead murderous forces that will stop at nothing to keep Mangorian and Sklya from mating.
Lycanthrope Rising is part medical mystery, part horror, part action adventure, part sci-fi, and 100 per cent a page-turning thriller.
