Hi guys!
I hope you have been having fun following along with The Childe Blog Tour and checking out some of the cool posts that have been going up.
Today we will be learning a little bit more about one of the more secretive and private characters of the series. The world famous novelist Robert Craven.
And for this, I will hand you over to Adam and Carol.
Character
Spotlight: Robert Craven
Robert Craven is the world renowned author of the
Dark Shadow series (which Cat and her friends absolutely love!). He’s
considered by many to be “The Master of The Macabre” and is also known as the
ever elusive man due to no one ever being able to lay eyes on him. He has
managed to elude all photographers and paparazzi and only shows up randomly (in
disguise) to book signings, making him extremely hard to predict.
There are six books in his series, and the sixth
novel, entitled The Cleansing, will
be released in the coming months. Robert Craven’s vampire, werewolf, and witch
literary works have set the world of horror fans on fire. His unusual take
on the mythologies of these beings have caused an unprecedented following. Now
that the Dark Shadow series has been made into feature length films, it’s not
only book reviewers that are speaking highly of his works, but movie reviewers
are now as well. Actually he’s set many records, including global box
office revenue and book copies sold. Here’s a quick breakdown of his
series:
The
Dark Shadow Book Series:
Fear
Descends (Book 1) Synopsis - Bartholomew Drake is not your
average guy. He loves the night, enjoys a liquid diet and is a member of one of
the oldest governments unknown to mortal man. Some would call him a
nightwalker, others a blood sucking fiend, and others a vampire doomed to walk
the earth only once night falls.
Through Bartholomew’s eyes you will witness the
feud between his kind, werewolves, and witches. His quest to have peace among
them all will meet heavy opposition, but our hero does not give up, even when
the odds are greatly stacked against him.
Wolvesbane
(Book 2) Synopsis - There is no recorded date when a werewolf first walked
this earth. Mortals began telling tales in early centuries of seemingly human
beings who, when the moon became full, would turn into hideous monsters that
were hell bent on destroying any living thing in their path.
The werewolves continuing feud with their
enemies, unearthly creatures like themselves, seems never-ending. The werewolf
council becomes caught in the grips of a moral dilemma regarding peace with
their enemies, pitting good and miss-guided werewolves against one another. The
feud between their factions boils over as the tension rises and secrets are
revealed, resulting in an explosive finale. And of course Bartholomew Drake is
caught right in the middle of it all.
Death
Becomes Him (Book 3) Synopsis - Bartholomew Drake wasn’t always a vampire, or blood thirsty
fiend as they are referred to in some circles. No, he actually used to be your
average mortal man, who one night was transformed into what he is today.
Bartholomew Drake is not your typical vampire
either. He is a secret champion for peace between all races. Though not as
aggressive as his peers, Bartholomew rose to power, becoming the leader of his
coven. By showcasing his leadership abilities and proving to be the silver
tongue of the supernatural world, Bartholomew Drake earned a cabinet seat in the
governing body. Though he has several opponents, many do embrace him and his
ideas. But even when he meets opposition our hero does not sway from his main
goal: Peace between immortals and the human race. This is his story.
Red
Twilight (Book 4) Synopsis - Having lived for centuries, true love seemed to always
elude Bartholomew Drake. It doesn’t help that he is a blood thirsty vampire and
any form of companionship was ended when he drank his fill and erased his
victim’s memory. One night while looking for a snack Bartholomew stumbles upon
a beautiful young woman in distress and saves her from certain death by an out
of control motor vehicle.
Natasha Collins stirs up a powerful emotion
within Bartholomew’s non beating heart, an emotion he hasn’t felt since his
mortal days. An American studying in Ireland, Natasha is literally swept off
her feet by Bartholomew Drake, a ruggedly handsome and unusually pale man. From
the first moment Bartholomew looked into Natasha’s eyes, she realizes an
emotion so fierce it takes her breath away. Unfortunately, like most fated
couples in history, their forbidden love will be tested to the limits. How much
can love endure before it breaks.
Darkness
Awakes (Book 5) Synopsis - In small pockets of the world, witch covens thrive
unknown to the mortals around them. White witches watch over humans and help
protect them from the evils they’re blissfully unaware of, but dark witches
have something more sinister in mind.
In the beginning, witches were not like most
normal societies where there was good and evil, and their only focus was
battling the dark side of nature. One fateful day though, that all changed, and
darkness invaded them from within their own ranks. Now besides keeping vampires
and werewolves at bay, they must also fight their own. But do not despair
faithful readers, for the white witches are not alone, especially with
immortals like Bartholomew Drake by their side.
