The Story Behind This Book

I set out to write a novel that could be exciting for teens to read and yet appropriate enough that parents would approve of it. ShadowLight originally began as a vampire novel. I finished it and didn't like what I had done. After some time pondering, I created the Night Walkers: spiritual warriors who battle each other with blazing swords and supernatural talents.

From there, the story just took off. The characters came to life on their own - sometimes to my joy, sometimes tragically so.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I hope that you enjoy it. I want you to fall in love (or hate) with the characters and story. Ideally I hope that this touches your life and makes you think about the influence you can have on others.

I'd love to hear from you and what you thought about it. Be sure to drop me an email, tweet, or FB message.
