About

I'm the author of the dark urban fantasy novel Khet Chronicles:  Blood Ties.  

I've spent most of my life living in Montgomery County, Maryland and I've recently relocated to New York City.

My goal is to have readers connect to my characters on an emotional level -- to feel how my characters feel. I want people to literally experience the stories I write and to crave the worlds that I create.

I'm currently working on several novels, one being the sequel to Khet Chronicles:  Blood Ties which is due to be released by the end of 2012.

Story Behind The Book

This book started out as a story that lived in my head from the time I was a child. The characters basically grew up with me, developing into rich, complex, individuals with their own insecurities and complexes. I hope that everyone who reads this book enjoys the story and comes to love the characters as much as I do. Thank you for all your support. Best Regards, Marcus
