Broschiertes Buch

Forrest Wollinsky Vampire Hunter

Predestined Crossroads

Beschreibung

Determined to fulfill his oath to deliver the hybrid vampire child to the Archbishop in Freiburg, Forrest travels across several countries during the harshness of winter. Even he has his doubts as to whether the child should be protected because once the child becomes an adult, he could become a deadly supernatural ruler with more power and influence than any of Dracula's offspring. And Forrest soon discovers that his oath has placed him on the wrong side of the Chosen Vampire Hunters, and instead of being one of the Hunters, he becomes hunted by those who were his former allies. His dilemma leads him to a crossroads in which he must decide between what's right or wrong, holy or evil, but regardless of the decisions he makes, great repercussions are unavoidable. He learns that while destiny may not be predetermined, oftentimes unforeseen consequences occur even for those who have the best intentions at heart.

Autor

Leonard D. Hilley II grew up a quiet, shy kid with an inquisitive mind. Learning to read at an early age, he fell in love with books. He read every book he could get his hands on and stacks of dark comics about ghosts, monsters, and creepy things that stalk the night. Like a lot of boys, he caught beetles, wooly bears, butterflies, and had an ant farm. When he was ten, his interests in science increased even more after seeing a professor's insect collection. Soon he set out on his quest to build his own collection. He also learned to rear butterflies and moths to obtain perfect specimens. He learned botany, gardening, and set his goal to become an entomologist. At eleven, he saw Star Wars. His imagination soared. Soon after, he discovered Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber. Six months later he had written the first draft of a novel. A novel he later discarded, but the characters stuck with him. Years later, these characters came to life in Shawndirea, which Hilley had intended to be a novella for Devils Den. The characters, however, refused to be ignored and took the opportunity to unveil Aetheaon in their first epic fantasy. Lady Squire: Dawn's Ascension was quick to follow. Shawndirea was Hilley's farewell to butterfly collecting, and those who have read the novel understand why. He has taken Ray Bradbury's advice to heart: "Follow the characters." He does. He follows, listens, and take notes--often never knowing where they're going to take him, but he's never been disappointed in the results. Hilley earned a B.S. in Biology and an MFA in Creative Writing to combine his love of science and writing.
