Vampires VS. Witches? - The Shadowing Coven

When I wrote Ritual of Blood I always thought that the characters were far too big for just one book, so after the publication of my first novel I went to work on the next one in the series, The Shadowing Coven. I got about two thirds of the way through before things outside the world of writing took over.  Ill health caused me to stop writing for a number of years, and it wasn't until I began working in The Witch of Primrose Hill that I managed to get back into the swing of things.  Needless to say, The Shadowing Coven was placed on the back burner while I built up my confidence to write again.

Fast forward nearly ten years since I began, and now finally The Shadowing Coven is finished, and the adventures of Victor Drake and the others have continued.  There shall be one more Vampire Hunter book to round off the trilogy and tie up all plot strings nice and neatly.

Set eighteen months after the events in Ritual of Blood, we find Victor Drake now married to Jessica, and trying to live a quiet life working at the British Museum, until news from his brother leads them away from London to Cornwall, where things drag Victor back into hunting not only vampires but also The Shadowing Coven, a sisterhood of witches hellbent on bringing the sister of Dran Val Karlic, named Ishanna, back into this world.

The publication date for The Shadowing Coven in paperback and Kindle formats is 31st March, with it being available in ePub eBook format about three months later.

Now work will have to begin in the final book, and hopefully this one won't also take nearly a decade to write.

Halloween ePub Special Offer

I've been working hard, (well, I say hard, to be honest I've been procrastinating rather a lot over the last few weeks,) on the sequel to Ritual of Blood - The Shadowing Coven.  I hope to have the first draft finished by the end of November, with a hope to have it in a publishable state in March 2014.

Until then I've decided that for Halloween week (25th Oct-1st Nov) this year I am offering the chance for my readers to download my ePub format eBooks for free. So if you haven't read one, or any, or my books now is your chance to get a copy and enjoy a great read, (if I do say so myself). You can also have your say about my books by reviewing them on Goodreads.com.

They will be available to download for free from midnight (GMT) tonight.

Happy Halloween Everybody.

Get your scares for only 99p, ( in eBook formats anyway).

It's been a while since my last post, so I thought it would be a good time to update you all on the goings on in the world of C J Wright and Dark Crucible Publishing.

Progress on the current writing projects is coming along slowly, but surely. Hopefully a new title will be ready for release either by the end of this year or the beginning of next, with plenty more to follow.

The most likely release first will be the follow-up to Ritual of Blood, currently titled The Shadowing Coven. Victor Drake returns to face more vampire threats, as well as a powerful coven of witches.

In order to make my books available to the widest audience possible, I have dropped the prices of all electronic versions (ePub and Kindle formats) of my books down to the rock bottom price of 99p or less. The ePub format versions will be sold through lulu.com and the Kindle formats through Amazon.co.uk (or .com or whatever it is from your location in the world).
