They say that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it…
Xander and Estella Stryker have faced a great deal in their pasts, but as the newlywed clan leaders look out at the cheering faces of their fellow vampires and other mythos allies, their histories are the furthest things from their minds. After all, they’ve got a future to plan for and a honeymoon to enjoy.
But the darkest histories have a way of repeating themselves, and one of the Stryker family’s darkest, most well-hidden ones is ready to be heard once again…
Now, with their honeymoon delayed, a would-be business trip turns into a hellish fight for survival. Separated and hunted by a ruthless, unstoppable creature, the lovers’ horrifying past is relived as they find themselves dragged into a mission that began before they were even born. Their future’s going to have to wait, because if they can’t learn from the past their longest night could quite possibly become their last.
Born
in Massachusetts in 1986, Nathan Squiers (The Literary Dark Emperor) grew up in
Andover, where his affinity for story-telling flourished due to a love of books
and movies as well as an overactive imagination. At the age of 13, Nathan and
his mother moved to Upstate New York to be closer to their family.
After surviving public school, where he spent most of
his days locked away in the AV room watching old 80s movies on Laserdisc and
planning out his next video project, Nathan began a shaky college career. A
love of weaving tales and telling stories was motivation enough to pursue an
education in English, and, as luck would have it, a series of phenomenal
professors were available to get him pointed in the right direction. It was in
his first years of college that Nathan began to actively pursue a writing
career, starting his first literary journey with a piece that would later
become "Noir", the first book of the Crimson Shadow series.
Like any good story, a chaotic turn of events brought
Nathan from the very brink of insanity and loneliness to the warm, comforting
embrace of Megan, his best friend, lover, kindred spirit, and--more often than
not--personal handler. It was with Megan at his side that Nathan was able to
continue his writing (sometimes solely motivated by the young lady's threats of
dismemberment if he tried to stop). With Megan's help, Nathan was able to see
Death Metal, his fourth manuscript, through the publication process.
Nearly ten years later, The Literary Dark Emperor (now
a multi-award winning author and co-owner/manager of Tiger Dynasty Publishing)
continues to invent stories and put them into a literary sequence that he hopes
will be somehow decipherable by other readers. As a lover of all things
creative, he works in both novels, novellas, short stories, as well as comic
book scripts (just don't ask him to draw something if you don't like stick
figures and poorly-executed shapes).
If he's not submerged in the realm of fiction or
burning out his retinas with horror movie marathons, Nathan is planning/getting
a new piercing/tattoo or enjoying life with his lovely wife and fellow
author, Megan J. Parker-Squires.
