Halloween Starts Today With The Release of "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home"


Welcome to "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home".  My name is Nathaniel Eoghan Steward, and I hope you'll be as pleased to meet me and my friends as we are to meet you...  



After two long years of brainstorming, writing, re-writing, editing, and planning Helen and I are proud to present to you all our first collaboration: "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home".

Those who've been following this blog for the last two years will be familiar with Nathan and some of the other characters who appear in this novel, but for those who are not here's a synopsis:

 In 1861 sixteen year old Nathan Steward joined the 7th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment to help end slavery and preserve the Union.  Before he left home, Nathan promised his sister Isabella that he would not let the war change him... he was wrong.


While serving in the Union Army, Nathan found himself fighting on many battlefields.  But his toughest fight took place on a parallel version of Earth (a Para-Earth) where evolution had taken a very different turn.  Although he managed to get back to his own world, this particular battle left him so altered there was no going home.  For now he needed to drink blood, sleep in the ground, and avoid the sunlight.


Today, after 150 years of wandering the world and touching the lives of others, he is finally coming back to claim his family mansion which has stood empty for the decades.  However, unknown to Nathan, his homecoming will not be as lonely as he anticipates. For someone has bee waiting all this time to welcome him back.


But, there is another who wishes to meet up with him again as well.  The being he faced and defeated in that Para-Earth, back in 1862, has found its way into this world and has caught his scent.  Now it is drawing closer to his hometown, bent on his complete and utter destruction.  For this foe knows he is the only force that can stop it from enveloping this world and its dead...

Big News Update...

The 2nd draft of "The Vampyre Blogs - Coming Home" is now completed.


That's right folks, the 2nd draft is now officially done and I couldn't be happier.  I know this book has been a long time in the making, but Helen and I have wanted to get the story just right.  We take a lot of pride in delivering a quality book to our readers.  Of course, the book is not quite done yet.  

Starting this week, we'll begin the loud readings with our editor to make sure the grammar and punctuation is right.  But possibly even more important, we'll be making sure the story sounds right.  if the words used are not flowing the right way.  We've both read books where 'odd' wording can disrupt our enjoyment of a story, sometimes at a crucial point and ruin the enjoyment of the piece.  So we'll be spending the next couple of weeks getting things just right.

Then comes the 2nd to last stage of the work... beta-reading.  We'll be looking for beta-readers to check out the nearly finished product and give us feedback so we can make whatever final changes are needed.  Those beta-readers will also receive a free copy of the final version in either paperback or e-book form (their choice), as well as a mention in the Acknowledgements page of the book.

So unless there's a major disruption at some point, our plans to release the book this October is looking great.  

Stay tuned for more updates as well as new stories from Nathan and company.  With university over for this semester, we hope to be adding new tales of adventure very soon.

Thanks again for all your patience and support.

Sincerely,  

Allan and Helen Krummenacker
