“It wasn’t the coma that was bad, the awakening was far worse…”

Mia Castle wasn’t expected to wake up - ever. Two years ago, she had driven her motorcycle to come in between the paths of a truck and her friend Tom in order to save his life. Disastrously, she was hit, putting her in a long coma. However, after a miraculous awakening, she defied the medical odds to become fully independent but was at the same time left with both physical and mental scars.

Since the accident two years ago, her fiancée had moved on and unexpected events had happened in the lives of people she loves. Mia herself had changed. She now experienced visions that spanned time and space. With no explanations in sight she tried to get away from it all by holidaying in a small cottage in Wiltshire. There, she meets Blake Carter. Blake with his dark, smouldering looks and mysterious aura was unlike any man that Mia had ever met. However, he hid a secret that could tear them apart.

Unbeknown to Mia, Blake had been looking for the Damnation Plays and Mia could be the key to finding it.
The Damnation Plays had been in existence for thousands of years. Concealed by dark forces it could bring damnation to the world.
New alliances will be forged and old friendships tested as Mia races against time to prevent the deliverance of a legendary evil.

Some writing groups are dreamkillers

When I was a writing beginner I found comfort in writing groups. They can give support and encouragement to young authors and some tips to improve. On the other side of the coin though they can be the very thing that destroys a budding career. When I started to dream about writing big, I joined a lot of writing groups on the internet - mind you, this was back in the early 2000's - and I found that they were very supportive and everybody cheered each other on. Now, with the rise of social media it seemed that the tides has turned and everybody has something to criticise each other on. Perhaps this ties back society - due to upheavals happening in the world right now people has become meaner as there's a lot more stress inducing things going on.  I've always tried to be gentle on new writers, and I probably won't criticise them by saying that they could look it up on Google. I've always been of firm belief that It takes time to get to the position you're at now an...

Writing a good villain that is unforgettable

 In this post I will be sharing my opinions about my experience of writing a good villain a.k.a the antagonist in a story or a novel.  I must admit - I love a good villain. It simply gives a story an edge. I believe that the same effort devoted to writing the hero should be devoted to writing a villain. What I despise most is a lazy, card board cut out villain when the whole story has been going so well before.  A good villain lift up the story, gives the hero a challenge and give us a reason to root for somebody. Furthermore, a villain doesn't have to be a physical person. It could be a force of nature, circumstances or unexplained phenomenon, but a villain must be compelling.  ⭐Make your villains have a cause other than serve as a plot device. A fully fleshed out villain should have a cause to behave the way they're behaving even though the cause might not seem rational to the readers or even the author themselves.  ⭐Make them sympathetic but at the same time ...

Why so few good black Supervillains?

I really enjoyed watching the film “Black Panther”. The heroes were interesting to watch, but what caught my attention was the villain Killmonger. Here’s a villain who had a complex backstory and you could kind of empathise for him despite the despicable methods he uses to get his way. This got me thinking about why are there so few black supervillains or villains who are well rounded, complex and capable as opposed to the one-dimensional stereotype that runs rampant in the written and visual media and the comics world. When I speak about stereotypes, I’m talking about the vicious but the bumbling idiots that are often presented as antagonists – for example, the gangsters in Death Wish and Robocop. There had been many villains whose backstory had set aflame imaginations and are viewed through a sympathetic lens. There is Magneto, whose vision for mutant supremacy is explained by the horrors he suffered during the concentration camp. Then, there is Thanos, the outsider who rose ...
