Novel has been completed and blog has been launched!

Much like several authors who are posting their novels in chapter by chapter installments on blogs, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon. Following the advice of readers and fellow writers alike, I've decided to return to the interplay between wrestling and soaps. This time around it's a family saga entitled House of Souls.

Here's a brief synopsis:

House of Souls takes the histories of both professional wrestling and soap operas, and wraps them up into a fictional tale of a family's ups and downs in both businesses throughout the years. The wrestling portion of the story is seen through the eyes of promoters and bookers instead of the typical point of view from a wrestler, and much like soaps, the story involves birth, marriage, and death. However, it strays away from such cliches as illegitimate children, extramarital affairs, or characters that come back from the dead.

A sleazy carnival worker falls in love with a prim and proper girl who works for the consumer goods company that is sponsoring the carnival. As they start a family, they are able to establish wrestling and soaps on their own which leads to their first peak during The Golden Age of Television amidst shady dealings and mental illness which contribute to its downfall. Their eldest son and eldest daughter take the reigns of the legacy during social and business upheavals which lead to the second golden age involving innovations such as pay per view and supercouples. Overexposure on The Internet causes a downturn and business leading to selling the business to a group of investors which coincides with deaths the of patriarch and matriarch of the clan.
