The Curse Catcher Novella is Now Out!
Welcome to the Complex, where peace is the goal, and chaos
the reality. The Complex series is a
group project I began with several other authors over a year ago. The idea of
it was that we would all write sci-fi/fantasy novellas within the same world.
Fast forward to today, and I finally get to share with you
my novella, The Curse Catcher! You can click here to check it out onAmazon, or read on for more information. And can we take a moment to drool
over the cover, created by the wonderfully talented Rachel Mizer of Shoutlines Design? I'm in love with it!
The Curse Catcher
is a 20,000 word novella (roughly 90 pages), and the premise of the story is that
Skylar Curiel, the main character, is chosen as a sacrifice to be fed to a
monster living under the Complex, a city where supernaturals, or Metas, and
Humans are to coexist (much easier said than done). She’s thrown into this
beast’s prison knowing she’s going to die. Only … things aren’t quite as they
seem. And that’s all I’ll say on that.
One thing I want to point out is that even though this is a
novella, the price is still $2.99. I’m not trying to swindle any readers out of
money; this a group-set price, so I don’t have much control over the price
point. I did want to point it out since I know for some readers this can be an
issue, and I didn’t want to blindside you.
Below is a brief description of the book, and if you read
on, you can learn a little more about the Complex series world.

An ancient beast’s cravings have awoken, and now
they must be fed.
Locked away in a prison meant to hold an immortal, a
creature’s inhuman screams pierce the air. It batters against the walls of its
cage, denting them from the inside out.
Through an unlucky twist of fate, Skylar Curiel is chosen as
a sacrifice to slake the creature’s enduring hunger. She knows nothing about
what waits for her, save for one simple truth: death to all that pass into the
beast’s lair. Only, she’s not planning on dying.
And the beast’s not planning on letting her go.
The World of the Complex
When a nuclear
holocaust forces Humans to evacuate their home planet, they search the galaxies
far and wide looking for a new planet to call their own. But they don’t find a
single planet—they find seven.
In another
region of the universe, Metas, a race of human-like beings with various
supernatural abilities, are driven from their planet after a series of natural
disasters decimate it. Three long centuries pass in deep space before Metas discover
the Seldova solar system and the seven habitable planets within it. The only
problem is that they’re already inhabited. By Humans.
With each species
fearful of their own extinction, Humans and Metas wage a brutal battle for
control of the planets. Over twelve long years the war is fought. Lives are
lost and enemies become many. But in the end and against all odds, Humans and
Metas come to an uneasy truce.
In the wake of
their peace treaty, each species gains control of three separate planets. The
seventh planet, Lorn, remains unclaimed by either Humans or Metas, and from it,
the Complex is borne.
The Complex, a
domed community, is created to pave the way for a more peaceful existence
between the two races. Metas and Humans are sent there to coexist amongst one
another. But living under a domed community can only mean one thing for the two
species.
Chaos.
