My debut novel Shadow of Wrath is now published by Strange Crow Publications and can be found at shadowofwrath Sadly no super human fairy tale characters (but it’s always been on my radar).
With this love for reading and writing, I took it to the next level and published a book. Can she save Dog's humanity before she too succumbs to the horrors of the Arena? Seeking to defy Ryker as Dog rises to power as his champion, the stage is set for something to give in this murderous world of young gladiators.Įver since I opened that book of Fairy Tales when I was a kid, I loved reading and spent countless hours recreating a parallel universe where Red Riding Hood kung-fu kicked the wolf in the jugular and Snow White discovered a spell to merge all the dwarves together to form a Super-Dwarf that tossed the evil step-mother into the sun. She has lost everything already - her family, her innocence, and her dignity - while her will to live hangs on by a thin thread. Allegra, a slave girl in the Arena and a victim of Ryker's constant abuse, is his only key to salvation. Renamed Dog, the boy from the streets must turn himself into a killing machine if he is to continue surviving, but as he leaves a trail of bodies in his wake, the ghosts of slain boys haunts him and the violence threatens to wake a beast inside him. When not devising new ways for boys to kill each other, he's ruling his small empire with a ruthless fist, rewarding his guards with sex slaves and punishing those who oppose him with barbaric executions. The Arena is the brainchild of Ryker, an ex-convict addicted to alcohol, gladiatorial-esque combats, and money. A homeless boy is kidnapped from the streets and finds himself imprisoned in a far more horrifying place: the Arena, a place where teenage boys fight to the death for the pleasure of various lowlifes in a modern gladiator pit. If survival meant murdering an innocent person in cold blood every week, could you do it? Are you able to stick the knife into your opponent's heart while they look at you with fear in their eyes? Life in the Arena turns everyone into sinners.
In the Arena, you're either a killer or a victim.
