The flavor of Marysvale.

In light of the interest Marysvale is generating, and its eminent release, I thought I'd tell you a little more about it. What's its flavor is, genre, etc... Marysvale is a paranormal novel. I didn't know what that category is either. Paranormal novels usually fall under fantasy. Did I loose your interest? Some people don't like fantasy. But stick with me, it's not what you think. Paranormal stories happen in our world, everything is as we know it to be. We don't have six moons, elves, dwarfs, or the kingdom of Gondor. Gravity still tugs on my gut. Cheesecake still aids the gravitational pull on my gut, and so on. However, there is something supernatural about these stories. Say, like vampires. Vampire novels are paranormal. Marysvale is paranormal because it has a monster problem...Soulless beasts that the protagonist thinks only exists in nightmares.

Marysvale takes place in a setting similar to the puritan/early colonial days era. I didn't nail down a time frame, because it's not historical fiction. I didn't intend for it to be. The language my characters use is not authentic; their mannerisms are also not authentic, but they aren't too modern either. If they were authentic, Marysvale wouldn't be an easy read, and it is. It's a fast paced story that clips along with lots of action. It contains the building of friendships, a budding romance, and a bit of mystery. The female characters are every bit a part of the solution, and were not written to be damsels in distress. The story is also clean, although there are some intense parts. I try to convey the horror, without the gore. Marysvale is a perfect story for your Halloween fix.
