Book description:
There is a certain line of destiny for each one of us, which seems as if no one and nothing could ever change. Is that really so, however? Perhaps, some people would disagree.
These are the people that will always believe that it may be changed because it is like a strip of sand, which remains after the tide at the seashore and is different every time.
Part of those people is this couple – two young companions, who can still love and have their dreams. They are gazing at the profound essence of the world’s earthly, human time as well as the one of eternity within them, the heart one.
A criss-cross of interweaving roads leads them far away but only a single one brings them back home.
Quite often it turns out that it is in fact the longest, really arduous and sometimes the loneliest one. When taking a look at signs in life, we can see the recollections of anguish or short-lived happiness and bliss.
Nevertheless, they will always be seeking their home or perhaps the family warmth the way they remember it, that is, their hearth.
In the course of time, they will realise that it is no longer there, but has turned into an unfamiliar place of lost feelings.

Book Description:
A place where vampires rule, witches play, danger lurks and dreams really do come true.
Eternal Island is a paranormal suspense novel, deeply rooted into myth. Vampires and magic form a unique backdrop to a love story with long reaching consequences. Human girl Ariana Lochalan finds herself transported from the relative calm of her ‘Nowhere, Arkansas’ life into a diametrically opposite existence when she discovers she is a powerful witch and meant to wed High Vampire of Eternal Island, Abe Cambridge. Despite first-sight magnetism, the two protagonists are being pushed apart, obstacles tripping them at every step, outside forces interfering and threatening their peace, and ultimately their lives. A world rich in magic and intrigue, Eternal Island is the first instalment of a saga which has love at its core and delves through the mire that is human nature in a turmoil of feeling and emotion.
Would courage, resilience and love be enough to bring together two soul mates?
How much would you sacrifice to save the one who owns your heart?

“Kill the stoker and the shifter and the priest!”
The vampire who turned Jonathan Stoker did so as a joke: what fun to turn a man named ‘Stoker’!
But life is no joke for Jonathan. He’s fled his family, every vampire he meets attacks him, and he’s consumed by blood urges. Ten years after his mortal life ended, the blind and striking Ariel Lockhart delivers Jonathan’s invitation to the Vampire Congregation in Boston. It isn’t a request; Ariel’s summoning spell warps time and space to ensure every vampire attends.
Of all the many horrors Jonathan discovers at this murderous congregation, worst of all is to find his mortal son, Jake, has come searching for him. And Jake’s just fallen in love… with a 350-year-old vampire!
“Kill the stoker and the shifter and the priest!”

HJ: Thank you for asking Thomas. I have written my entire life. My first published work was covering an indie rock alternative act.
TR: A rock band, eh? What exactly was your work?
HJ: It was an article on a band from Atlanta. I wrote it for an alternative rock magazine. The genre would be basic rock journalism with a heavy dose of gonzo journalism, you know being there and becoming a part of the action.
TR: Kind of a writing roadie…cool…what made you write it?
HJ: I wrote the article because I got into the show for free, the article helped the band get exposure, plus I got free beer.
TR: HAH! There’s a winning combination, if I ever heard one. So, what have you written since then?
HJ: I have covered various topics, mainly fashion, rock and travel. Fables of the Reconstruction will be my first creative effort based solely on imagination. It is the first book I have ever written.
TR: Very cool! I didn’t realize…what was the inspiration for your it?
HJ: Fables was based on dreams. Once the characters made themselves known, they wouldn’t stop talking to me until I wrote the story. It’s surprising how many artists have the same experience.
TR: Yes, you’re not the first to tell me that. Well, tell us a little about it, and where it’s available.
HJ: Fables of the Reconstructionwill introduce you to Pierre von Minzle and Mary Moore. They are not Adam and Eve, they are the Adam and Lilith of today’s zombie apocalypse. ‘Fables of the Reconstruction’ is a playful yet graphic sexual adventure consisting of what might have been, combined with what possibly might be happening now. It contains Pomba Gira mysticism, Creole voodoo and the seeds of the zombie apocalypse set in Victorian London’s notorious Whitechapel District. Prostitution, drugs and alcohol are involved, as is Jack the Ripper and rock and roll. Sex, magick , zombies. This ain’t your daddy’s shotgun zombie story. Mature content warning – this book is not intended for anyone under 18.
TR: That does sound pretty gritty. Can’t wait to read it 🙂 So besides dreaming, is there a particular place or setting where you get your writing ideas?
HJ: Great question. Most of my ideas appear in dreams, or come to me when I am in water. I also receive inspiration from music.
TR: That follows. What made you choose either traditional or independent publishing?
HJ: There was no choice. Being a fan of indie music, I had to go indie publishing. Everything is there for a writer to publish independently today. All you have to do is have your concept, write it and download it. Written publishing is where the music business was 20 years ago. The writer as an artist, now has more control over their craft and their works. Although, the publishers I’ve worked with have been great, too. We, the writers, just have more options now.
TR: You’re absolutely right! Okay, if you had to choose the most important element in an author’s platform, what would it be?
HJ: Creativity. Creativity remains the most important element in writing. So many people get caught up in the mechanics of writing or in the latest writing trend that they forget to go with their creative spark. We are artists, not English teachers.
TR: Very well said…Now – what mistakes have you made in regards to publishing and marketing your work, and what will you do differently in the future?
HJ: There are too many mistakes to list in one interview. Let’s discuss this topic another day!
TR: Just means I’ll have to have you back for another interview – works for me. Do you have an idea for your next book?
HJ: Yes, thanks again for asking. I am working on Book 2 of Fables. It will be called Reconstruction of the Fables. Maybe you will invite me back in March and we’ll discuss it further. Thank you so much for speaking with me.
Tune in Tuesday, when I interview my pal C. T. Westing , author of “The Death of Wendell Mackey“. Be there!
