J L MORRIS
He has worked mainly in sales, marketing and customer relations after discovering he was pretty good at talking and ill-suited to manual labour.
An avid reader, film buff and gamer, he has always loved a good story and decided to finally let his long-suffering creative beast out of its cage. His first paranormal novel, Selfish Beings, is a direct result of feeding said beast and giving it a generous amount of âprowling aroundâ money.
In his free time he enjoys arguing on the Internet, avoiding anything that requires going outside for prolonged periods and preparing for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
I would first like to thank Lucy Gilmore, Victoria Oundjian and the wonderful staff at HQ Digital for their hard work and this opportunity.
I would also like to thank Helen Williams for her patience, insight and guidance throughout the editing process.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my friends and family for their support and encouragement. I donât deserve such great people in my life but you were obviously all put there for crimes in a past existence. You will just have to come to terms with that and try harder this time around.
For my beautiful niece, Peyton Jade.
Stay classy, P.J., and donât listen to your Mum; Play-Doh does go in the washing machine. There is a massive difference between what you canât do and what youâre not supposed to do.
Contents
Kaarl watched as L.A. began to brighten in the dawnâs light. From his top-floor office in Synergyâs headquarters he had the best view of the city that money could buy. Even after seven years in the Mortalsâ realm the sight of the sun rising and setting had not lost its appeal.
Perditionâs Sky of Fire was a poor substitute, he thought.
Kaarl immediately regretted doing so; it was a shame that memories of that place still wormed their way into his thoughts. They had decreased over the years since his defection but it was hard to put Hell completely behind him. Kaarl had lived in Perdition for five centuries, his entire childhood, and those memories made up the majority of his past. Having a constant reminder of the place burnt into his flesh didnât help matters either.
