"They came the past two nights. Tuesday they got me while I was walking down the sidewalk. Yesterday they attacked me in my home. Today... well, they haven't come yet, but I can feel it. They're coming.
"The sun's setting. That's around the time they arrive. I hear the growls first, then the clatter of their claws as they stalk. I don't see them until the moon shines through the clouds. Gray wispy fur. Soulless yellow eyes...
"Mom, Dad, the parents who loved my as if I was really their child. Alex, my best friend who never let me give up. Dawn, the woman I barely met and swore I would never forget. To all of you, if I don't make it through this night...
"Thank you, and goodbye."Behemoth is the first book that I'm writing to completion. As of this moment, I have written one hundred sixty pages, a total of twenty-seven chapters. I started writing Behemoth on September 22, 2011. I received the inspiration to write it the day before that.
It has been a long three months, fraught with writer's block, busy schedules, and massive computer crashes. I've spent insomnia-cursed nights, trips on buses, and fifteen-minute breaks at work typing this book. It hasn't been a chore, though. I've thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way.
I hope you enjoy these brief glimpses into Behemoth as I finish the story they belong to, and I look forward to finally releasing the book to you all.

Best of luck, man!
ReplyDelete@Mister_Bushido: Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. You have a lot of talent. I look forward to seeing the completed book.
ReplyDeleteYou know how to grab someones attention.
ReplyDeleteI don't read much but I may just read this.
I'm very glad that you'll give this a chance!
DeleteI've read the first seven chapters. Behemoth is the most fresh and interesting new book I've read in many years. I can envision this made into a series of both books and films. Step aside Stephanie Meyers, hear comes Michael Durtschi!
