Have you ever of heard of vampires? What about werewolves? Orcs, Elves, Goblins, and so on? What if I told you they all lived among us, we just can't see them. We aren't all so different really. Sure, we all have different kinds of food, art, music, and even magic; but we all bleed when we get hurt. Exsanguinate is an anthology series made up of different stories from different parts of the world. Orcs locked in a blood feud, demons killing for power, amnesiac vampires, drug addicted werewolves. One thing connects all of these stories, all of us, blood. We all bleed. Pick a book, and dive in. Book 1 - Jason has been excommunicated and is lost in Detroit with no skills other than killing vampires, werewolves and everything that goes bump in the night.

Santa can't help them, but maybe they can help each other Book 2 - Sierra is a woman on a mission to revive her dead husband through Voodoo, dark magic or anything that gets results. Rythe is a journalist and a Dark Elf that can no longer use magic because of his drug addiction, he's searching for a serial killer that nobody else seems to believe in.

Continuity
I’m writing this all down because I don’t know what else to do with it. This whole experience has been so completely insane that I must record it so people in the future can understand what is going on. Maybe someday someone else can make sense of it. Maybe that person is you, I have no idea. JR awakens from a dream to find that he is late for work! When he tries to call in, he realizes that something is not right. That’s when his friend and co-worker, Frank, calls him and informs him of what just happened to their workplace. JR finds himself in a world that grows increasingly surreal with every passing day. There are basic facts about himself are missing from his memory. When was his birthday again? Taking place in Chicago in the near future, strange buildings, strange events and stranger people populate this world on the other side of the looking glass. JR is left to struggle with his new job and new surroundings, but luckily his old friend Frank is still there to help guide him. He makes many friends who have interesting takes on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. First alerted by Frank, JR slowly becomes aware of a danger lurking in the background that is gradually spreading despite the fact that no one else seems to notice it or acknowledge that he might be on to something. All of this combines to make the novel Continuity about fear, anxiety and paranoia in a perplexing world that seems to be both real and not real at the same time. Rumored to be about 15 chapters and less than 200 pages the novel is written in a first person perspective that breaks the forth wall and will either leave you laughing with delight or scratching your head in confusion, or maybe both!? The one thing it won’t be is boring!
