In this second part to THE DEMON-EATER, Lady Renette meets the mysterious Grey for the first time; Anna finds herself in trouble; and Gabriel continues his escapade through the Southern Region, consuming the demons, with the hope of uncovering a way to kill the immortal beings for good. Although, the further he goes, the more demons he must confront from his past--and the closer he pushes himself toward the line separating him from the monster he may very well become.

“Help!” Gabriel called, but his voice did not carry, slurring the word like a drunkard. “Help!” he tried again. Bodies blurred by him on the station's platform. Surely one would come to help.
“Grunige,” a voice said, “he's causing a scene.”
“Yes,” another voice replied, “well, that is generally what people being abducted usually tend to do, is it not?”

I have always had a love for words, especially when they came together to form stories. And so, from my elementary years, it has been my one lasting dream to build a life around shaping words into stories.
I grew up in Columbia, Kentucky, though currently live in Mississippi, where I spend my days rescuing princesses from dungeons, slaying dragons...and, of course, selling clothes to people at my retail job (which, believe it or not, can be tougher than getting the One Ring to Mount Doom).
