About ‘I, Warlock’

When the world’s survival depends on the struggle between good and evil, only one can triumph. The victor will preserve for humankind what makes life worth living, or he will rule atop a mound of skulls, served by the souls he defeated.

I, Warlock tells the story of Julius Tide, born part-vampire, destined to be all warlock. Follow his journey from a near-innocent, living quietly in the Vermont countryside, to a man whose decisions will determine the fate of the world. Every step of the way he has his beloved Charlotte, whose beauty first stuns him one spring day at a local fair, and continues to comfort him as he undertakes a battle against monumental evil that can have only one winner. Grief, joy, ecstasy, tragedy–it all comes into play as Julius, Charlotte, and a dizzying cast of characters march to their destinies in I, Warlock, The Warlock Wars Book I.

It’s about time.

I’m just about two weeks away from publishing the new book. So exciting! This video says it all, and there will be three books in the series.

Finally! I got to meet a dozen of my fellow members of the Mystery Writers of America (MWA) New York chapter. We don’t all live in NY, obviously, and this was the first time they held an event for us Garden Staters. More, please! And let’s get some younguns in the organization. At this rate we’ll all be dead from natural causes soon.

Coming very soon … Frank is reading it now, and I have just about four chapters left to finish it. Julius Tide will wait an eternity if that’s what it takes. His beloved Charlotte was stolen form him by the evil sorcerer Jathan Rubel, and Julius’s only reason for living is to get revenge.

This is Book I in the three-book Warlock Wars series. Arriving later this summer.

With all the efforts being made in states across the country to force LGBTQ people into silence, out of public view, re-marginalized as outlaws whose very lives are once again being made criminal, it was beyond refreshing to walk in the Lambertville (NJ) and New Hope (PA) Pride parade. It rained all day long, which didn’t dampen our spirits. It was a big, wet, glorious day.

Some thoughts on Pride

Pride for LGBTQ people is not the opposite of humility. It does not come before a fall, but after rising from the weight of discrimination and hatred. Pride is not arrogant or self-serving.

Pride, for us, is:

Learning to love ourselves and each other despite the lies we’re told about ourselves.

Learning to care for ourselves and each other, despite having been abandoned by families and institutions.

Learning to be free, and to celebrate the freedom of others, whether they are like us or not.

Learning to hear the inner voices of kindness, encouragement, and daring, until they drown out the voices of condemnation, contempt, and mockery.

Pride does not mean we’re ‘proud’ to be something we naturally are. It means we reject the rejection, the bigotry, the scorn, the ridicule, the hatred of others, the self-hatred we’re taught from pulpits and state houses and governors’ mansions and laws meant to defeat us. Pride is the conviction that we won’t be defeated, and that we have nothing to hide.
