Between my tax course, ending with its exam, and the flu, I’ve been quiet on here recently. Hopefully will be picking that up a bit more as I get back into the swing of writing.
Changeling’s Duty currently sits at 5,438 words. Of course, I am working on it today, so that won’t be the final total for today. It’s always interesting writing sequels, and trying to decide how much of the setting explanation needs to be repeated.
Today, I present you with the blurb to the other book I have an in-progress sequel for: ONSET: To Serve and Protect.
When vampires invade police officer David White’s small town home, his response brings him to the attention of the United States’ elite supernatural SWAT teams. He finds himself rapidly pulled into the depths of a world he never suspected existed, carrying his badge into the supernatural underworld hidden behind our own.
Joining the Office of the National Supernatural Elimination Teams, David is drawn into politics and conflict as he tries to reconcile his own newly discovered supernatural nature with the daunting duty of policing elves, dragons and mages.
When treachery strikes and undermines the very core of America’s supernatural defence, David, along with the rest of ONSET, is called into action to face an enemy that seems to know their every action, predict their every move – and he is forced to choose: accept what fate has thrust upon him, or watch the world he serves burn around him!
To Serve and Protect is most simply described as Paramilitary Urban Fantasy. A small town cop is pulled out of his comfortable world and thrust into the center of a top secret branch of the US government and its elite police force. Along the way, he learns he is more than human, something he has no small issues coming to grips with.
How do you adapt, after all, to discovering that you can see several seconds into the future when stressed and bend steel bars? How do you adjust from a normal conservative worldview to one that has to accept the reality of vampires, mages and dragons? How does a small town cop accept being, essentially, Achilles reborn and reconcile that with the drive for justice that made him a copy in the first place?
The first (and currently only) ONSET book traces David White’s journey from small town cop to top secret SWAT commander, and how he answers these questions.
Hopefully someday it’ll end up on store shelves!
Namaste,
Glynn Stewart
