Paranormal and Supernatural

I am busy writing the third book in my Van Helsing series and I have to admit that I am rather enjoying  it. The characters in the stories are like putting on an old pair of socks, utterly comfortable and once I have finished this book I will go straight on to writing the next.
I suppose that t is slightly hard to put an effective category on my stories. They have horror elements in that they deal with the creatures that go bump in the night but I have yet to feel the need in describing every single exposed sinew and muscle as other writers are wont to do. I think it more effective in briefly describing things pertaining to gore and letting the reader's imagination do the rest. There is one story that I am currently writing where gore is touched upon but that has more to do with the needs of the tale than anything else.
So I suppose that my stories deal in the supernatural for they describe a world that is not quite our own. a world that has monsters skulking about in the darkness, a world where the creatures of legend hide and are only exposed when Van Helsing hunts them.
Whatever genre you care to place them in, the primary purpose of my tales are to entertain, to afford you, the reader a few hours escape from the world. A chance to curl up in front of a fire on a cold winter's night in order to thrill in the exploits of the heroes. I do hope that you will enjoy them.

At the moment my books are selling but they are doing but a few a week. Sometimes I will sell two in one day but more usually it is a case of two a week. There are peaks and troughs in sales, mostly troughs!
I would like to sell more and I figured that if fifteen books are sold per day for some time to come then that will afford me more of a chance to write even more without worrying how to pay the bills. If you would be so kind as to spread the word about my books and allow more readers then I will be happier than someone in the world who is happy!

Take care

Van Helsing

I have been working on the second volume for the last few months since the first volume has been selling moderately well. Here's to it being more of a success!
All things being well the next book in the series should be available in late November so be sure to keep an eye out for that. I'm planing to do another volume in the early part of 2016 so keep an eye out for that one too!
The plan is to have five volumes of short stories written for the character, from his early days until tragedy strikes and he stops being a supernatural hunter until the events depicted in Dracula.
I'm enjoying the writing of the stories and seeing where the events surrounding him are taking him and also of the types of monsters he fights. So far there have been Egyptian Mummies, Werewolves, Demons and Ghouls in the depths of Paris. Some of these stories are in the first volume whilst others will be found in the second.
In the meantime here is a link for the uk version of the book. For locales elsewhere in the world just do a search for my name and you will find links to this and several other books I have authored
Enjoy!

Werewolves, Ghosts and a Vampire Hunter

Imagine in the cold dark of the night and you are all alone in your house. No one is stirring and the town nearby is quiet. Then comes a bump on your door followed by a scraping noise at your window as something out there is trying to get in. There are monsters abroad in the world and there is one man who can save you...Professor Van Helsing.
This is a collection of short stories depicting the life and Victorian times of one of the greatest monster hunters of all.

You will find the link here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Van-Helsing-Chronicles-Vol-1-ebook/dp/B00QAR9Z5I/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1417782071&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=van+helsin+chronicles

Please purchase and enjoy!

Zombies and Pirates

It has come to my attention that there is a site out there that has pirated my books and is offering them for those who do not wish to pay. That's fine and dandy, they are being downloaded by those who won't have paid anyway, even if there are no sites like that. Even so, there are some who MIGHT have bought the book if it were not for the fact that the pirate is offering them. Such a thing means a loss of revenue for the likes of myself who need to try and earn a living out of writing.
If it does continue then there is perhaps a case for not writing anything anymore and as such, this will deny future readers the pleasure of reading any future works of mine. This also applies to those who will want to write and do the same. In this situation, future potential Tolkiens', Tolstoys' and the like will never be discovered since their works will not see the light of day for fear of pirating. Your loss if you want a freebie.
On the more positive side, those who have downloaded my books have given them higher than average ratings so they must be good! And the fact that rather a lot of people have downloaded them  also augers well for liking my books.
So with this in mind, it would be best in all honesty to buy the books from Amazon and enjoy them legitimately and I will then have the courage to write more works for you to enjoy. If you just want them free, why should I do all this hard work for nothing?
So please support me in my endeavors, if you do, this will enable me to become a better writer and to put out more works.
