Three Months In...
I've experienced a lot of changes in 2017 and it's only just begun. First off, I've completed TWO new novels that are on the verge of release. Fairy Tale Ending is a new Society novel following an assassin as he's rooked into helping someone save the world (or at least the city). Ancestral Reunions is about a woman who can remember all of her past lives and is forced to face a family curse. The latter of those two will be an audio book soon and there will be a simultaneous release.
Blood Rites, a comic prequel to Glamour & Shadows, is soon to be available. The comic follows Ophelia on her last job as a Cleaner. It's brutal but definitely explains why she made the choices she did. Speaking of that note, Glamour & Shadows is getting a dramatic face lift. I'm more than half done and it's coming out MUCH better. Expect that to be available in the next few weeks. This leads to the dramatization.
We're working on making a radio style drama of Glamour & Shadows. The first episode is 30 minutes and nearly complete. Just a few finishing touches and we should see it come out. I'll have more information about it as we get closer but right now, I'm missing only 3 performances. Once they're complete, I'll set this loose on the world.
Our new CD, Walking on Graves, is available through every major digital outlet. Links are available in the My Work section. Check out the cover below.
Comics have also seen some serious steps forward. Hestia Chronicles Episode 4, Forever, Always & Never Chapter 3, Society Case Files Season 2 Episode 1, all done. One Shots continues to move as well with 52 issues available as of right now. I've been pumping out material and it's been great. Please take a moment to check some stuff out and see what you think! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy New Year! Lots to Come!
2016 had a lot of suck to it and I'm looking forward to 2017 being better. I finished a couple of great books last year and TONS of comics. I can't wait to get them out there to share. I have a new Society book on the way and a stand alone Urban Fantasy as well. Coming this year, I don't know! Depends on my inspiration. I've been doing some ghost writing so that's been taking up some time.
Look forward to more work in the coming days/weeks/months! Thanks for stopping by!

The Lark Legacy: Kindle Edition Available Now!
$Visit the world of the Society as you've never seen it!
Without Direction
Ruby Lark comes from a long line of curious and reckless wizards. Her father, Henry Lark, runs a strict sanctum where students are taught through a brutal curriculum of harsh consequences and cruelty. He seems to have some nebulous purpose for her in mind but his dispassion and formality have kept them apart, master and student instead of parent and child. With no friends, no recourse and no sanctuary, she steeled herself for a life of service to a cause she would probably never understand.
Mortimer Dampton started at the Lark Sanctum at the end of his education. A brash, charming wizard, he comes with a wealth of necromantic knowledge. Henry assigns him to partner with Ruby, who instantly takes a dislike to his overly familiar, roguish personality. But he may just hold the key to her salvation, even as he begins to defy the edicts of her father, sending them both on a course to their fates.

How it works:
Stage 1: Consultation
This is a free consultation through email or skype concerning your cover. I’ll ask a variety of questions and we’ll come to an agreement on what you’re looking for. I’ll give you my estimate of how difficult it will be to create your vision with full disclosure that I could find it will be easier or harder after I begin. You will be informed of any changes immediately and be able to make informed decisions about the direction of the project.
Stage 2: First Draft
After we’ve agreed upon the consultation, I will begin working on the project. Depending on the direction we’re taking, this could require additional time to search for a proper model. I will break it out below.
1. We are using 3D Art: I will prepare a model and render it in the agreed upon poses then present to you the options so you can decide which you’d like to go with. This process will take about an hour. (See more about 3D Art here!)
2. We are using a Photo Stock Model: I will have to find the model in question. This unfortunately takes quite a bit of time. I will not charge for all the hours (because I’m pretty picky so you won’t have to suffer for that) but depending on how specific the model must be, I will charge for some of this time. When I find a variety of options, I will send them to you so you can pick the one you prefer.
* Additional models will take more time to procure or setup. I’ll work it out with you and will keep the prices fair.
Once we have the models, I’ll go to work. My first draft will be a quick and dirty placement of model and construction of a background. I will hold off on specific work for the second draft. This one is for you to agree that you approve of the layout and like the direction the cover is going. It’s the stage for you to make the most changes about the project. When you have approved this phase, I will move on to a second draft.
Upon acceptance of the First Draft, half the payment will be required.
Stage 2: Second Draft
Now I’ll start to apply all the filters and detailed work to get us closer to completion. At the end of this, there will only be minor tweaks required to call the book cover ‘completed’. This is going to be the mainstay of the time it takes to create the cover. Depending on the complexity, it should be done within a few days to a week at the most. I will give you regular reports on the progress. Your responsibility is to find any small, nitpicky stuff to change before the deliverable version. Anything you see that I missed, or any small additions. Note that these will be small revisions. Any major revisions should’ve been discussed in the First Draft conversation.
Major revisions at this phase will require additional work and take more time.
Stage 3: Deliverable
I will conduct the various small requests and implement them for the cover. When it is done, I will present to you a JPG image of the cover to approve. I will then give you a print ready PDF, a version for Kindle, and the Photoshop files for you to use as you see fit. I reserve the right to add your book cover to my portfolio for non commercial use.
The second half of the payment will be required before delivery of the project.

A Simple Country Girl
Lady Amory knows nothing of her real family. As a ward of the noble Whitehearnes, she lives a carefree life of peace and comfort, helping the villages with chores and dreaming of wonders in the far corners of the world. The demonic incursion has faded into legend and the monster wars ended long before she was born. She never anticipated an opportunity to learn about her past, to discover the people her parents were and even if she did, they couldn’t have been extraordinary.
When mysterious Khaleet Asinda arrives holding a diary from Amory’s mother, everything changes. She discovers she belongs to the Lavonne family, wiped out during the reign of a king whose name barely made a footnote in her studies. As she uncovers the layers of her mother’s life, she finds herself staring at a destiny far beyond the simple village people around her and that she could very well hold the keys to humanity’s future…or their downfall.

Here's the back cover blurb:
A Shocking Crime
Detective Inspector Taylor Gates works high profile cases in the Albion capital of New Strata. Her assignments require her to work with nobility, investigating everything from fraud to murder. She’s good at her job though she struggles with having any personal life to speak of. Since her time in the military to the present, she hasn’t been able to make time for herself, even as her mother desperately presses her toward settling down.
When Count Anzel Clarion is brutally murdered in his flat, Taylor lands the case. The investigation is complicated by the arrival of her old partner from her army days, Warrant Officer Jason Weaver. They have a past far more complicated than a professional relationship would suggest but such things can’t stand in the way of finding the dangerous killers at large. With time running out to track them down and the hint of a conspiracy peeking from the shadows, Taylor will have to risk it all to solve the mystery.

Here's the back cover blurb:
Destiny Calls
Abigail Wright just celebrated her thirtieth birthday but she barely noticed. As the lead singer for the internationally successful band Avalon Nights, she’s busy with high profile performances and worrying about their new release hitting store shelves in only a few days. She has great friends and awesome hours. Life couldn’t get any better.
Two mysterious men enter the scene, each with information about her enigmatic father who disappeared when she was young. They speak of paranormal events, angels and demons and a tremendous responsibility fate wants to drop squarely on her shoulders. As if dodging snarky reviewers, odd fans and thrown shoes wasn’t bad enough, she now has to come to terms with the idea real monsters may exist.
To further complicate things both men vie for her affections. David Pike, a reporter and genuine nice guy seems perfectly ideal while Ian Preiss, an operative for a supposed secret society has bad boy written all over him. She’s never been good with love and barely has the capacity to act in an adult manner but now, she’s being forced to make some of the hardest choices of her life. Nothing’s ever easy and when a dangerous being threatens her carefully crafted routine, she must risk everything to keep it.

The Midnight Turn Available Now!
The Midnight Turn is available now on Amazon! Check out the Excerpt above.
Kindle Version: $3.99
Physical Copy: $8.99.
Back Cover Blurb:
Hollywood Beckons!
Genevieve St. Claire’s novel The Midnight Turn became a big hit when it was initially released. Her meteoric ride to genre fame brought her to various conventions, talk shows and workshops across the country. When a movie producer decides to option the book for a big budget movie, her head spins with the possibilities, especially since she can’t claim the rights to her first book, a well-known horror novel published in 1818…
Gen’s second dive into literature was inspired by her vampire creator, Christian Lark, an unpredictable and romantic figure she’s polished into something a modern audience can tolerate. Enter the proposed leading man, Jacob Moran, wizard and descendant of the Lark line. His semblance is uncanny, his youth intoxicating but there’s also Allan Taylor, the handsome screenwriter hired to adapt the book.
With half a dozen lives intermingling amidst the chaos of film production, The Midnight Turn explores a human experience through the eyes of the supernatural.
Enjoy the show!

Back Cover:
Amelia Ambrose has always lived her own way, despite the oppressive world she was born into. A daredevil thief, she lives for adrenaline and finds it in her dangerous heists. She has no idea where her passion comes from and the truth may very well be impossible to believe.
Sebastian Harris works as a corporate assassin, a cleaner for situations outside the jurisdiction of urban security forces. A former military man and trained agent of a defunct organization, he misses the days of collaborative work, of being part of a team. Little does he know he may very well get his wish for the most dangerous mission of his professional life.
These two individuals come together to face a creature of inordinate power, an immortal monster who has lingered through the ages. As an ancient organization races against time to defeat his maniacal plans, Sebastian and Amelia are drawn into a dangerous game spanning multiple lives. The battle is on for the souls of humanity and only a select few stand any chance of saving us all.

New Book Cover Revealed!
My new book, The Midnight Turn is nearly complete and here's the book cover!
Here's the back cover blurb:
Hollywood beckons!
Genevieve St. Claire’s novel The Midnight Turn became a big hit when it was initially released. Her meteoric ride to genre fame brought her to various conventions, talk shows and workshops across the country. When a movie producer decides to option the book for a big budget movie, her head spins with the possibilities, especially since she can’t claim the rights to her first book, a well-known horror novel published in 1818…
Gen’s second dive into literature was inspired by her vampire creator, Christian Lark, an unpredictable and romantic figure she’s polished into something a modern audience can tolerate. Enter the proposed leading man, Jacob Moran, wizard and descendant of the Lark line. His semblance is uncanny, his youth intoxicating but there’s also Allan Taylor, the handsome screenwriter hired to adapt the book.
With half a dozen lives intermingling amidst the chaos of film production, The Midnight Turn explores a human experience through the eyes of the supernatural.
Enjoy the show!

Here's the cover blurb:
Creativity begins with a spark
Karen Perdue has always dreamed of dead people. When she was seven years old, the first spirit came begging for help and by the age of twelve, her parents institutionalized her. No one ever understood what she was going through and while the doctors couldn’t cure her, they taught her to keep such episodes to herself.
Now a successful artist, she has embraced what mental health could not stamp out, quietly helping souls move on to the afterlife. But even accepting her fate has not made her immune to the twisted designs of the universe. When a powerful being two hundred years in her grave interrupts Karen’s sleep, she’s thrust into a world of magic and other planes, of possession and the esoteric quest of a mad scientist.
Daniel Folton gave up the supernatural world for the quiet life of a bookstore owner. When Karen comes searching for answers to an ancient mystery, he’s drawn back in, his calling once again realized. But he’s terribly out of practice and though he has seen much in his unusually long life, this could be the most challenging case of his career. For if they cannot solve the mystery, all life on earth could be forever altered.
The world will end in a flash

Cover Reveal: The Hermes Foundation
Book 3 of the Glamour & Shadows series is about to be released! Here's the back cover blurb:
Lillian Bowan has seen a lot. A former war correspondent turned struggling journalist, she has been searching for the one story which will satisfy her ambition, to be part of something meaningful. When she rushed down for a coveted TV spot covering a gas main explosion, she never dreamed it would put her on a dangerous path of discovery.
Nicolas Chabrier lives in a world of demons and mysticism, where vampires are real and shape shifters stalk the night. An independent wizard trained by an esoteric group outside the bounds of reality, he tries to keep a low profile out of the supernatural spotlight. When he saves Lillian from a demonic incursion and tries to erase her memory, he finds something far more insidious than a random invasion.
You can read the Prologue and Chapter 1 here.

Nightlife Interrupted
Roll for Initiative
Vinny Presaro has it made. A newly created vampire, he owns the hottest game store in town, wiling away his nights with role playing and graphic novels. His life would be idyllic if not for his terrible luck with romance and the vivid, disturbing dreams he has every couple weeks. They seemed like mere fantasy so he did his best to write them off (the dreams, sure but also the chances of being near a woman without her nervously eyeing the door).
His latest nightmare came in the form of an apocalyptic scene complete with rivers of blood, pieces of people and a demonic girl dancing amongst the carnage. When she comes walking into the store, he’s faced with the possibility that he could be having premonitions and not a chemical reaction to bottled blood.
Vinny reaches out to investigator Ophelia Dupre to help him understand his revelation. Unfortunately, she has some trouble with Vampires so their working relationship is strained to say the least. Armed with pop culture references, preconceived notions and a couple big guns, these two very well may be the only thing standing between the world and the end of days.
We might be in trouble
The first chapter and prologue are available here as an excerpt. Please feel free to check it out then by the Kindle version at Amazon.com or Physical Copy also at Amazon.com
Prefer to listen to the excerpt as an audio book? I've included it below for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
