Hi, all. I am posting this free e-serial novel as a thank you to all my loyal friends and readers who don’t have the patience to wait for my books to come out via the traditional route.

For the most part the novel is complete, but I will be tweaking, adding, subtracting as I go along. And there are parts that will be written on the fly. It’s a challenge, but I’m looking forward to it.

Also, those who follow along and comment will receive a free signed copy of the novel when it is published.

For those who are new to Soul Thief, here is a synopsis of the novel:

Doug McArthur, hit in the face by a young friend at the age of seven, is suddenly able to see a supernatural creature who calls himself Collector. His life is turned upside down when he realizes that it’s not just the creature he sees, but the atrocities it commits.

Since marrying Annie his visions have been quiet and Doug is grateful. Now Annie is pregnant with their first child and their world is in the process of coming apart, beginning with the destruction of their home and forcing them to run for their lives, back into the world of Annie’s childhood, the De Roché dynasty, to a murdered mother and a cruel and enigmatic father.

Doug, who hates Annie’s father, is nearly insane with grief over their plight, but he soon finds that De Roché is the least of his worries when in the midst of Annie’s mother’s funeral he is given a strange artifact by a dying priest along with a dire warning. He must leave Annie and his unborn child and begin a sojourn into the darkest regions of human existence.

In his attempt to save his wife and unborn child Doug finds that there is much more at stake than the lives of two human beings, perhaps the very salvation of the human soul.

Below you will find the chapter list.

I hope you all enjoy going along with me on this dark adventure.
