Meriall, The Immortal (Meriall The Immortal)

A new hero emerges on to the world's bloody stage…..her name is Meriall. Bestselling Amazon author Barry C. Davis delves into the supernatural in this exciting, fast-paced horror novella. For Mary Beth Maybourne, a fast rising Salt Lake City homicide detective, the case was simple. Reliable eyewitnesses name Jacob Runningdeer as the murderer of several important government officials. It would be simple except for the fact that Runningdeer is dead, after taking a swan dive out of the eight story federal building downtown. Maybourne must overcome her conception of what is possible to pursue what is likely, the supernatural resurrection of Jacob Runningdeer as a vengeful ghost. Mabel Jennings, in 1875 St. Louis, faces not a vengeful being but one with love in his heart. Trenton Hoest, an ancient Irish vampire, has come to America with visions of conquest. There he becomes aware of the most glorious, beautiful but deadly adversary of his bloody career. This isn't just another vampire romance – Hoest believes Mabel the key to creating day-walkers capable of conquering the planet. Boy meets girl, boy bites girl and boy almost dies. You see, Mabel Jennings is the immortal Meriall, her blood curative to humans, deadly to living dead vampire. Hoest survives and years later, in our present day, he will bring these two women together in unexpected ways. For Mary Beth Maybourne, the result is a revelation of her life's true purpose. For Mabel Jennings, it is an opportunity to destroy a beast who, despite his unrequited love, represents a danger to all of mankind. MERIALL, THE IMMORTAL is a novel of the supernatural, a vampire novel twisted around a ghost novel and crime procedural. It is the first novel in the MERIALL series with the promise of more adventures to come.

I have written screen plays, novels and short stories and I have had several short stories published in webzines and print magazines. I write the type of material that I read - urban crime, thrillers, horror, historical and humor.  I am an avid cyclist and gamer.  A Philly boy through and through, I live and die (mostly die) with my Philly sports teams and I have never met a cheesesteak or soft pretzel I didn't like.  I write to educate, provoke and inspire.  I want readers to be uncomfortable, shaken from the 'zones' we inhabit.  If my writing does not accomplish that, I have failed.
