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.

Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

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
