Between now and Halloween, I will post all eight chapters of my new Novella, Written in Blood. Inspired by my love of the novel Dracula, this is the first book in what I hope to be a Trilogy of Terror.
From the first chapter of Written in Blood:
The woman's face grew ashen. Her eyes darkened within her pale features, and her lip trembled as she beheld me. At once, the peasant woman hustled her girl into the coach.
Turning to me, she crossed herself, "God protect you."
She reached behind her neck, unclasped, and removed her necklace with its small crucifix. Bustling over to me, the middle-aged mother placed the cross around my neck.
"May this give you protection from all the dread, terrors of the night."
Happy reading Written in Blood
