Okay, so between talking to a few people who may (or may not) help me with my book cover and updating a few things on my Facebook and Twitter accounts (new banner promos for Mild Mannered...sweet!), things have been a bit quiet on my end, and, for that, I apologize.
However, fear not! I have also been busy at work with a brand new book!
It's called The Consultant.
Young M.D. Chapman has a strange affliction. When he's out in the world, without any warning, he'll see death. Elaborate death. Graphic depictions of deaths -- of strangers or family members -- will play out right before his eyes, only to show they were illusions of his troubled mind mere moments later. Hoping to make his demons disappear, he turns to writing, and, at 22, finds himself to be one of the youngest best-selling horror authors and poets in the country.
However, the visions are getting worse, and they're starting to be followed up with blackout periods. In further hopes to dispel his affliction, Chapman agrees to a consulting position on a new horror film, where he feels his haunting visions will be put to some sort of use. That is, until a string of murders on and around the set start occurring -- in the same fashion of Chapman's suggestions.
Now virtually the only suspect in the murders, Chapman must team up with the only two people who believe his innocence -- his psychologist Dr. James Hamilton and Corinne Reid, the lead actress in the movie -- before the killer strikes again. The problem? How do you catch a killer if you believe the killer is you?
So far, I'm about thirteen pages in, but it's turning out brilliantly! The book is a departure from the Mild Mannered books, where the tone is far more sarcastic and humorous, even though the book will undoubtedly be a bit darker than those books.
Unfortunately, writing on it has been slow, seeing that I'm still trying to get the first Mild Mannered book published. As soon as the cover is finalized, it will be available for purchase online. And, of course, after time has passed, the second book in the series will be online as well.
Stay tuned for more updates! I can't wait to share my twisted visions with the world!
