Blurb:
In a world
where shape shifters are openly bisexual, vampires have insatiable sex drives,
and warlocks emit pheromones that make everyone around them horny, Zander
Knight finds himself at a crossroads. He emerges from a coma with the
realization that that he may be the only living being in the world that is part
vampire, part magical and part shape shifter.
Unable to
understand or control his new powers, his condition puts him at odds with his
family who is at the very center of a movement to end supernatural race mixing.
If that weren’t enough, he is being forced to choose between his place in the
House of Aleph and his position as the Alpha mate for his lover and pack
leader, Zuri Tau Long.
Just as
Zander’s world is changing, so is the supernatural community. New threats arise
as different factions of vampires, shifters and magicals fight to take their
place in the new order. Zander is left deciding between fighting for his
family and friends, and fighting to save the world that he has come to know and
love. This is more than just one warlock’s love story – this is a supernatural
adventure.

Excerpt:
Agent
Jonas Hunt was a member of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit based in
Quantico, Virginia, and assigned to work “special cases.” At 6’1” and 159
pounds, Agent Hunt managed to look more like a model than an agent.
Jonas
had been supervising the removal of the body of a murdered pregnant woman from
the Potomac when he was called to North Carolina to collect a unique set of
humanlike bones found in a trashcan on a small college campus.
Agent
Hunt’s phone rang, and it was Harlem Gilliams, the medical examiner back at
Quantico, assigned to work his case. Harlem was an ebon-hued pseudo-nerd with
small, slanted dark eyes and a set of exceptionally full lips. Harlem and Jonas
had become fast friends over a year ago when they were assigned to work on the
case of a female serial killer in the Baltimore metropolitan area.
“Harlem,
how are you?” Jonas said.
“I’m
fine. This is a very strange corpse that you sent me.”
“What do
you mean?”
“The
anatomy looks human, but the medical examination reveals significant anomalies
in the bone structure, musculature, and nervous system.”
“What
are you saying?” Jonas asked.
“I am
saying that I have never seen anything like it,” Harlem explained.
“Just
take good notes and don’t tell anyone what you’ve found. I’ll be back from
North Carolina in a few days,” Jonas said.
“Are we
going to get a chance to spend time together?” Harlem lowered his voice.
“You
know Juliette is going to be expecting me to come home as soon as I get back in
the city,” Jonas explained.
“I know,
but what about what I need?” Harlem whined. Jonas sighed.
“You
know I can’t always make it over to see you. We’ve talked about this a thousand
times.” Jonas lived in Alexandria with his wife, Juliette, a Georgetown law
school graduate who had never gotten around to taking the bar exam. Juliette
spent her days and nights looking for ways for Jonas to make her the center of
his world. Harlem, on the other hand, lived alone in DC, where he had made
Jonas the center of his world for the last few months.
“I
know,” Harlem said, sounding defeated.
“Don’t
sound that way,” Jonas pleaded.
“I just
don’t think you know how much I want to see you,” Harlem continued.
“You
know what, I’ll work this out for you, babe. I’ll tell Juliette that I have to
stay out of town one more day and then I’ll come back and spend the evening
with you.”
“Really?”
“For
real.”
“I’ll do
that thing you like when you get here.”
“I’m
counting on it.”

Meet the author:
Shadrach
Octavio Walker, a.k.a. Shad O. Walker, has always been an avid fan of all
things science fiction and fantasy. It
wasn’t until he realized that there were no significant fantasy or paranormal series
featuring LGBT characters of color that he created his first groundbreaking
series, One Warlock’s Love Story (OWLS).
Armed with multiple degrees,
numerous life experiences, and several writing awards, Shad remains as elusive
as the vampires in his series’ House of Aleph with writing as powerful as the
shifters in its Alpha pack. Supported by
a coven of loyal readers, Shad is sure to take the literary world by storm.
Inspired by the creativity of
Octavia Butler, storytelling of James Baldwin, and passion of E. Lynn Harris,
Shad is at the forefront of an entirely new expression of science fiction and
fantasy. Excerpts from the series were
originally posted on a social networking site that gained Shad a solid and
loyal fan base. What started out as a
desire to create and share a new kind of fantasy turned into a dream come true
with the release of the first installment of One Warlock’s Love Story titled All
Knight Long. Follow Shad and the One Warlock’s Love Story series at
