The Vampire Dreams Trilogy -
Vampire Dreams is an idea I conceived nearly five years ago. It focuses around a teenage boy who soon discovers that he can turn into a creature named the Vakra that is only summoned when Vampires are threatening to destroy. He is suddenly thrust into an adventure where he must discover who he is in order to save the world from its inevitable destruction.
I've written six drafts of this book, but only finished five, I'm currently working on the sixth, which I am loving so much that it will probably be very similar to the published Vampire Dreams that will hopefully be in stores in the near future.
Vampire Dreams is my favorite book I've written, and it means the world to me.
The Shard of Life -
For over five years Jacob Silvester and I have been planning The Last Ivoliuns Trilogy. The series is actually something we thought up after we finished plotting a five book series titled The Skies of Chaos.
CHANGE: Jacob and I were discussing the last two books in The Last Ivoliuns Trilogy, and we realized that the story really ended with the first book - The Shard of Life. So we took the few ideas we had for the last couple books, and combined them into one.
The book begins with the destruction of the Ivolium Gem - a star of pure energy. The book then follows a teenage boy who discovers a shocking political secret, has to help his mutated brother escape from the pursuing government, and realizes that the Ivolium Gem isn't just a star of pure energy, but is something of entirely different importance.
This book is really hard to summarize because it's actually a really political book. The politics in The Shard of Life take me about ten minutes to explain in person. The overall story is rather difficult to explain, too, because you wouldn't understand it if you didn't understand the politics. So I tried my best. We hope to complete this book by the end of summer 2013. Estimated word count is 125,000. Genre: Political Science Fiction Thriller.

The Eighth Day -
This book is going to be my longest book hopefully ever. 250,000 words. Which is almost 1,000 pages typed. I just passed the 1/5 of the way mark. This book is planned to be finished in November of this year.
The Eighth Day focuses on an event that happens every 10,000 years - Hellease. Hellease is when the firmaments of heaven and hell break, and hell is unleashed on earth to rid it of its sin. A group of people who discover the power of time travel attempt to save the doomed human race, because we will all be destroyed if they do not succeed.
I'm really bad at summaries.

The Queen of Evil -
The Queen of Evil is what I like to consider a Young Adult High Fantasy. It's the book that has simmered in my head longer than any other book has. Literally for about eight years. The Queen of Evil actually was planned as a five book series, each book being about the length of one of the Spiderwick books. But after I wrote it in summer of 2011, I decided I'd like it as one book.
I almost finished the book. The planned goal was 50,000 words, but I stopped at 43,000, because I decided I'd rather extend the book, and finish the book having the book how I liked. So I have decided that the book will double in size at least. It may triple, but it will definitely double.
So the book will be much larger than its first draft, and I hope for it to be good.
-
Those are really my main books at the moment. I do have others in the works, The Fable of Ironheart, Stood, The Werewolf King, and countless other collaboration and untitled projects.
