12yo Terrance thought Jr Rangers earned badges—not fought monsters. When a magical storm traps him in Zion and separates him from his family, he and Ranger Sam must face a world he was never meant to see before the canyon, and his family, are lost forever.

Been toying with a new #WIP and came up with a concept I landed on calling "Vampire Diabetes". Not something I ever thought I'd utter but now I am excited!

Reading through #thecosmere books, I'm starting to think Sanderson missed his calling in life as a fashion designer. Each book has such great detail on the different cultureal fasions, and what a character could be wearing in each given scene.

Thank you everyone for the support during #dvpit. I don't think it's been to long since I felt this amazing energy and it was missed!

I was lucky enough for my MG Fantasy pitch Beholders: Zion to get two agent likes! Fingers crossed to see where it goes.

Thanks to all the new friends I made!

ALTERED CARBON X SCYTHE
Immortality is just another form of insurance where the dying claim new bodies from the living. But when Jake’s Claim fails, he's given the life of the murdered inventor of immortality. Jake now has the power to save his city, or burn it to the ground.

Beholders: Rangers who protect the magical Unseen creatures hidden in National Parks. It's a responsibility Terrance never wanted. But after a magical storm traps his parents at Angels Landing, he must accept what he is and save all of Zion from disaster.

Ranger Samantha took an oath to protect the Unseen creatures in National Parks. Terrance never had that choice. But when a magic storm traps his parents in Zion, he must accept what he is and help Sam save all of Zion from a disaster only they can see.

RATATOUILLE X VENOM
With his marriage crumbling, getting kidnapped wasn't the worst thing to happen to Richard this week—until he heard the voice in his head. Richard realizes he's been possessed by a demon named Kevin. Worse, this is Kevin's first time, and he did it wrong.

VENOM X LUCIFER
We all have our inner demons—Richard’s is an amateur. Possessed by Kevin, he must learn how a spiked milkshake tied their lives together and resolve a centuries old bloody conflict. Richard must conquer his inner demons or be dragged down to hell.

SCYTHE X THE DISPATCHER
Jake’s body should've been claimed by a billionaire—but it failed. To protect his sister, he must pretend to be the man who built immortality, expose a system where lives are simple commodities, and revisit a past he swore he'd leave behind.

#DVparty Day 6:
My current WIP is a post-apocalyptic vampire cop story inspired by Daybreakers and Redfall where most are now vamps.

Another is an Epic Fantasy Series I started when I was 14. 2 1/2 books are finished, I just really need to fix them and have been avoiding it....

#dvparty Day 5:

This is Celeste's theme song from Insured. I think it fits her and her attidue quite well. And yes, she also does have a shotgun. She is willing to burn down the entire city of Nexus, and every Insured there, to get her revenge. And does not care if she burns too.

Burger N’ Chill smelled like the sugar plum fairy had pirouetted her way into a meat grinder. The scent of sweet cream and vanilla mixed with greasy, over processed patties lingered in the air.
