Writing is…

William Carlyle has been the thorn in the side of the angel Halaliel ever since he abandoned a love-struck socialite, who later committed suicide, at the altar 132 years ago. Now, in his seventh life, William is more jaded and cynical than ever and just about beyond forming any meaningful relationship. Destined to die again, on his twenty-second birthday, and to return for round number eight, William decides to put an end to his tortured existence. Taking matters into his own hands, he inadvertently makes a deal with the most ancient of evils. Against all odds, William develops feelings for Alexandra Black, the daughter of a man so twisted that his every intention is to martyr her for his own gain. In a desperate race against time, William sets out to connect the dots and save Alex, but the suave, serial womanizing cocaine addict, David Hamilton, is adamant to beat him to the finish line. Facing the toughest choice, he’s ever had to make, William must decide between saving the girl, and destroying the enemy since one doesn’t necessarily guarantee the other. Set in the bleak beauty of small town Alaska, the splendour of Rome, Italy and the damp Scottish Highlands, BLACK RAIN explores the premise of free will, the true power of love, and the delicate balance that exists between good and evil. BLACK RAIN is the first novel in the BLACK TRILOGY.
