A Slightly New Direction for a Change...
Now that I have released Book Two of the Dragon's Tear Chronicle and put that 2 year itch to rest, and now that I have given my loyal and faithful readers "Dancing with the Moon", "Chasing Shadows: Tales of East River", and "While the Wolves Cry" to sink their vampie loving fangs into and so on... I think it is time for me to shift gears once again and delve into subjects of a different vein....
I have been considering going over some older manuscripts or working on something fresh and more of a drama than horror novel. The ultimate decision is that I will be working on a historical fiction drama. It will come from the same spirit as Arthur Golden's "Memoirs of a Geisha" in the sense that though his book was a piece of incredible fiction, it was quite historically accurate and eye opening. My next project will entail the story of a Japanese-American girl who is shuffled to an American internment camp shortly after the events of Pearl Harbor.
Through the eyes of the main character, we will hopefully see what is American, what is Japanese, and what is even more than that- what is human. It's an ambitious story I am sure, but something I felt strongly about for quite some time. I don't always want to be known as a horror writer or vampire novelist per se. Even Stephen King and Anne Rice have taken themselves along some different branches on the main roads or paths they have travelled. One needs to see and experience new things to keep sharp and awake.
Anyway, I will keep you all posted.
