Hello, everyone. I'm new to this forum.

I used to write sort of supernatural horror stuff, but I kind of grew out of it. Now I write cotemporary fiction. My most recent story is a ghetto drama called The Minority House. It is sort like a John Singleton movie with the "hood" is less emphasized and paired with a privledged suburban setting. It is very character-driven.

Modern Fantasy(about a Demon Hunter who lives in an unamed city and helps people with problems that might seem otherworldly)

Guess i could take a crack at writing Vampires even though there cliched and writing to death

Neurovore - educate me.  What did you mean by reversible vampireism?

I have a bunch of stuff going at once right now. My YA murder mystery is the main one. Another YA that I guess could be construed as urban fantasy. At the risk of sounding derivative, it's kind of Harry Potter-meets-the-X-Men-and-Mulder-and-Scully. Another urban fantasy. What the heck? I didn't realize I wrote so much urban fantasy. I'm starting to lose track of what's what. I mostly write murder mysteries, but I like having something in a completely different genre on the side. And apparently that genre of choice is urban fantasy.

I'm currently working on a private eye/noir/comedy/murder mystery set in late 1940's Manhattan.  I'm still tinkering with the outline at this point, trying to sort out the timing and everyone's motivations and making sure the cops don't behave like idiots. :)

Depending on the hour, day, week, and phase of the moon I am working either on my dark urban fantasy, my epic fantasy, or my science-fantasy.

Once in a blue moon I'll pick up my sci-fi.
