Fury of the Vampire follows two supernatural detectives who discover an ancient relic that can remake all of existence, and they must stop it from being used before the world as they know it vanishes. What was the initial idea behind this story, and how did that transform as you were writing the novel?

Thank you for the question. Well, originally the story would have focused more on the Jinn characters and their powers. In fact, the original title was The Power of the Jinn. During my research, I uncovered the story of The Ring of Solomon and that became the McGuffin of the tale and we adjusted the story accordingly and I think it improved the narrative.  

Was it important for you to deliver a moral to readers, or was it circumstantial to deliver an effective novel?

I believe the best stories are the ones that have parables or thought provoking messages. The best Twilight Zones or Star Treks were the ones with thought provoking themes and I like to do that in my stories.  

Were you able to achieve everything you wanted with the characters in the novel?

Yes, especially with Tori who I think is the best protagnoist in the series. Her relationship with Malia I think really helped develop the character and her feelings toward Richardson. 

What is the next book that you’re working on, and when can your fans expect it out?

Fury of the Vampire will actually lead to a cross over with the tenth book in the Jigaw Time Travel Series: Temporal Apocalypse which should be out in May, 2026. I am currently outlining it.
