It’s my first book.. Well, the first book out finish. did start a different book in 2021. That book was a time travel book. I’m never doing that again. Time travel is a way to confuse your mind. On the other hand I may go back finish that book and delve into that book all right. For now, I’m working on this demon possession book.
Of course that’s a little bit weird. It isn’t a horror story. Originally it was going to be a four-story but something happened. One night when it was windy and dark at 9:30 PM I did some research. Google helped me find a website that had the information I needed. I had decided I needed to know what demons sounded like. That was a bad idea. I found a website with sound recordings from some basement in New Hampshire. They claimed that this was the sound of demons or angels that had fallen. I scared the be Jesus out of myself. I ended up laying in bed with the lights on and holding 2 sticks and across. That was the night I determined that I would never be a horror novelist.
So now this particular book is an urban fantasy. It still has a demon possession but this is not a scary demon possession. There are demons running around possessing people and killing people. There demons but they don’t really make those kinds of sounds.
So this whole book has become a lot different from the original imagination that I had. I do have some people to thank for that. These are people that I met at the 20 books Vegas conference in 2021. It was the last night of the conference. I took this idea that I had 20 years ago and went and crashed the dinner that the horror and thriller novelists were having. I had intended just to give them the idea and let them go with it. They weren’t having it. A couple of them sat with me and went over what my idea was. And we walked through the story line that could potentially become a book. I went upstairs that night and wrote everything down and made this very loose synopsis. And I fully intended to write it when I got back home.
But that didn’t happen. All because I looked up with demons sound like. No more demons for me.
