Corr's Forgiveness Teaser...

Corr's Forgiveness is the first novelette in a series I plan to write over the next year or so. The first you can expect to be available sometime this month, while the second is currently halfway through its first draft and I aim to have it ready for release sometime in April. To give you a little hint at what this series is about here is the prologue that will be featured at the beginning of each novelette. Enjoy...



Vampires are a myth, right? A story told to scare children - and the occasional adult - at night?
Well, not exactly.
Vampires are real, though, they are not exactly what you think they are. Do they drink blood? Yes. Are they allergic to sunlight?  Yes. Do they live forever? Well, no actually. But they do live for a very long time. But the reasons for these are not because they are the undead. They are, in fact, very much alive. They’re just not from this planet.
You see, many centuries ago, the planet Chaetdor was destroyed and the survivors of that planet set out on a mission to find themselves a new home. Earth was never part of the plan. A primitive world with little technology and a sun that was harmful to the Chaetdorian body. When there was a fault with the ship, they had no choice but to land on the foreign planet and hope that they could fix the problem quickly so they could continue on their journey. That did not happen. The fault was worse than they had first thought and had caused them to crash during landing, seriously damaging their vessel. With the lack of technology on Earth at that time, they were stuck. They hid their craft and adapted with their new world in order to survive.
There were just two problems. One, they were highly sensitive to the earth's sun, meaning that they could only venture out at night. And two, in order to maintain a humanoid appearance they needed to consume human blood. Stories of large, handsome, pale men with fangs soon spread, and the myth of the vampire was born.

But now, it is time for them to leave…
