God's Vampire and the Countess (Complete): It was a joy to write this book and put down my imagination onto a document. It has revealed a great deal about myself and how I see the world while writing this book. I wanted to mix horror, romance, adventure, history, sci-fi, and drama all into one story and I am happy about how it all came together. My big emphasis was character development because I do wish to make this into a series. This book mainly featured the conversion story of a most unusual character. It was a conversion of religion but also a conversion of heart for the main character.

God's Vampire and the Inquisition (Incomplete): The sequel to Countess was both enjoyable but also difficult for me due to the subject matter. It compelled me to take a critical look at my Church and to suggest a supernatural way to solve the problem. It is in this book that a person's faith is seriously challenged and its phase 2 for all believers in their lives. In Phase 1 we feel a sense of joy and belonging in the conversion step, but in phase 2 we experience betrayal, persecution, corruption of those we thought were holy, and a realization that we ourselves are fallen.

Lucifer's Apprentice (Incomplete): This story is the relationship between God and Lucifer and his relationship with his own angelic apprentice. The story goes over the most modern scientific explanation for the universe while still remaining spiritual in its creation. It then goes through the issues that caused the First Fall of the angels and the events of the Old Testament. For me, this project was an excellent study guide through the Old Testament and Jewish Apocypha writings. It also allowed me to put forth my authoritarian devious side. The most difficult part of the story was simply the research into the text and the historical context involved. Warning: The narrative is from Lucifer so everything he narrates or does should not be taken as the Biblical truth. It's up to the reader to find out which parts are true, what are half truths, and what are lies. Should be challenging for me and for the reader once it is completed.

The Messengers (Incomplete): The Messenger story is still in development and I am constantly changing how I want to tell this story. Imagine aliens come to Earth and upon reading our religions decide to impose Biblical Law on the Earth or they'll destroy us. How will believers confront this Biblical tyranny and how will the secular individuals deal with this problem. It's a story of international relations, sci-fi military applications, politics, religion, and the drama of the human characters involved as they reason with the alien overlords.
