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
