So I started two new stories this week, the first one
is a novel tentatively titled Dark Things.
I’ve had the idea rattling around my head for awhile, but it was a call from
Amber Quill Press for a Gothic Romance that made it finally gel in my mind.
These sentences are from the first chapter where Michel-Léon’s valet expresses
his concern over Michel-Léon’s duties as a Chevalier de Rouen.

Janvier frowned as he stared at the envelope. “If I
may… I never involved myself in your father’s affairs out of both respect and
fear. He sought dark things and those things ate his soul raw. I watched him
die two deaths and could nothing to stop either.” He looked at Michel-Léon, his
blue eyes clouded with age and worry. “I will not lose you the same way,
Michel-Léon, not on that same dark path.”
