Madman in the Mirror
Horror
What happens when a serial killer raises his child to be just like him?
Henry was brought up from an infant to be a serial killer just like his old man, but years later as he discovered that he perhaps wanted to turn away from the dark and into the light, it had become a complicated thing for a shattered mind.
Harold forced Henry to observe the act of murder in the mirror before he could even walk. He saw terrible things in that mirror, and now in fact the man in the mirror talks to him. He was never shown affection of any kind and driven insane at a young age.
Henry has a difficult time forming relationships with anyone, especially the opposite sex. Humorous conditions arise as he’s like a whale in a small pool, his fractured mind simply doesn’t fit.
It’s only when Henry takes a golden retriever pup from an abusive teen that he feels affection for the first time in his life. The dog does wonders for his self-worth. It makes him think that there just might be more to life than just killing.

Dracula: Hearts of Stone (Book One)
Horror
This MIGHT be a little like Dracula if written by J. K. Rowling. Where magic and vampires interweave for an exciting adventure.
Evil vampires are in the early stages of taking over the world. New York City is under attack. Dracula remains in a suicidal funk and is unwilling to come to the aid of humanity. He spends some days hanging by a noose from his ceiling. Life has been too long and exhausting. The Master has created valiant sheriffs to deal with the bad vampires; problem is that they are outnumbered by the criminal biters. Dracula’s a bit of a good guy but has to be prodded in the right direction.
A 12-year-old girl is a rare hybrid, half human and half vampire and was conceived the normal way. Jenny turns out to be even more exceptional when she discovers that’s she’s a blood wizard. She’s able to cast spells on inanimate objects that will repel and confuse the malicious vampires, and her power is in its infancy. That makes her a huge target for the malevolent vampires. When an underground vampire deems that the girl could be an obstacle because of her powers, he decides that he wants her dead.
Lauren is a valiant female sheriff. Michael is a regular vampire that desires to become a sheriff. Michael falls for Lauren and pursues her but she is not so inclined at first. Michael has fallen for Lauren hard even though she frightens him. The fact that she split one of the vicious biters in two to save another is a difficult thing to get out of his mind. Their relationship finally blossoms but she must leave Boston as she’s transferred back to her regular post in New York.

Dracula: Hearts of Stone (excerpt)
LAUREN SAT ON A BENCH near the Brewer Fountain at the Boston Common, the oldest city park in the States, which was near the wall at Park and Tremont Streets. The statues at the base of the fountain represented Galatea, Neptune, Amphitrite, and Acis. Park Street Station was the main transfer point between the Green Line and the Red Line. Two other sheriffs were at the Green Line platforms and others were in the general area. Lauren had a hunch that an attack might originate with a meeting near the fountain. She had daily hunches and most of them came to fruition. Her presence might frighten them off but she could give pursuit and call for backup.
Lauren’s swords were prominent on her back, and she was patrolling the area because of information she had received from the Boston police. It was sketchy information about some sort of attack near the area, supposedly involving vampires. Her mood was a little blue though she was hopeful of better days to come.
Michael blurred into the area, having had a wet dream involving Lauren and was feeling a little more confident. The dream had been so vivid that he hoped it was a sign of things to come. He felt as though they should be a couple, although he had no idea how he was going to accomplish it. She seemed disinterested at best, and unfortunately one of her talents was blocking vampires from reading her mind. He sat on the bench near Lauren and her gray-blue eyes didn’t appear happy to see him; he was hurt by the look on her face. It was as if he was an unwanted neighbour come to borrow coffee.
“Michael, what the hell are you doing here? See the badge?” She lifted up the collar of her black trench coat and showed it to him, and it was done with an attitude that appeared to be a bit of a threat.
He ran his hand awkwardly through his short brown hair. “You’re not going to cut me in two are you?”
She smiled. “I would never hurt you without cause but I’m working here. Expecting big trouble. I don’t want to have to place people in jeopardy with having to save your cute ass. So you better get going before I have to kick it.”
Michael smiled. “So you think my ass is what?”
“Never mind.”
“You should see it naked. It’s all hairy and muscular.”
“I know that you are trying to be funny but that’s not an image I want to imagine.”
Uncomfortable silence and then it just slipped out. “Do you think that we have some chemistry going? I feel that we could have something.”
Lauren turned her head slowly toward him. “You follow me around like a lost puppy. We’ve hardly even talked, and now you think we have chemistry? I don’t like my men to be delusional.”
Michael was becoming frustrated and decided to just blurt it out. “Really, I thought delusional was your thing? Wait, that didn’t come out right. Look, I find it really hard to talk to you.”
“I know rabbit.”
“Please don’t call me that.”
“If you stick around here and you get cut in two, then don’t blame me.”
“What are we talking about here? Normal bad guys or bad vampires?”
Lauren glanced at her watch. “Get out of here before I have to make you leave. You won’t like it. It’ll change your opinion of me.”
Michael showed her his exaggerated sad face. Lauren had to laugh.
“All right, stay. But you run when they show up.”
“That wouldn’t be very manly.”
“Then you can be bones Michael, it’s up to you.”
