Want to take a peek?
Hi everyone,
I know it's a difficult time for all of us, but I hope you're all doing well and that you're safe and healthy.
If not, hang in there.
But if you're looking for an escape, a way to take a breather from the stress of reality, then please look no further. Because, as a treat for my new followers, I'd like to present the first page of chapter one from my upcoming novel, Ivy Cross and the Monarch of Darkness, which will be out next month. Enjoy :)
I froze in horror.
Not from the frightening vampire glaring at me from the end of the street. Nor from his ugly minions swarming the tops of the surrounding buildings, blocking my escape. But from one single realization—I’d run out of bubble gum.
Rats!
I stepped back and drew my nunchucks, their fiery edges whistling through the night air as I swung them around me. They’d been forged in the mountains of the dwarves with dragon’s breath. A tool of unimaginable destruction. A weapon of unequal strength. In other words, they were pretty awesome.
I held them out before me, watching as I was surrounded by the enemy.
Vampires. They were all the same. Pretty little things who brooded in the dark. What a joke. They thought they should rule the world just because they were immortal and had really nice bone structure.
I mean, they did. But still.
They were nothing but a bunch of losers, refugees from the Dark Uprising, who were allowed to exist because the Council of Light was led by a bunch of fae.
But that’s why I was here. I was going to put an end to their little party and get the evidence I needed to prove their existence.
The vampire strode out with a toothy grin, confident now that I was surrounded by his minions. Frederick the First, or as I called him, Freddy the Fake. His long black hair was combed neatly to the side, revealing a chiseled face and piercing eyes, and his three-piece suit was decorated by a bright red tie that was clearly expensive. If he hadn’t been such a sociopathic jerk, I might’ve gone out with the guy.
“Ivy,� he said in a smooth voice. “What a pleasure it is to see you again.�
“Wish I could say the same, Stink Breath,� I replied.
Well, there it is, the first page of chapter one. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, please share and recommend.
Thank you,
A.D. Winter
