David Rider ✅On March 20, 2022, I released my novel We Are Van Helsing - Book Two, which wrapped up the duology I began in the first book. It told the tale of Ilse Van Helsing, a woman whose family legacy has been targeted by a powerful, dangerous mastermind.At the time, I didn’t know those books would form the core of a mythology that continues to this day—spinning off a solo novel featuring my Romani vampire Anca, with more stories in the works.What I do know is those books have filled me with an incredible sense of accomplishment. The advice is true: if you write a little each day—say, during a pandemic, before a full-time job—you’ll eventually finish a novel. Mine ended up being 194,000 words and needed to be split into two books. I learned a lot about my craft. I felt excitement when the characters wrested control from me and took the story in unexpected, amazing directions. And when I finally held both paperbacks in my hands, I experienced the pride that comes with being an indie horror author.Here’s to the three-year anniversary of WAVH: Book Two! 🥂 <a href="https://c.im/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieAuthor</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieHorror</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SupportIndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SupportIndieHorror</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HorrorCommunity</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DavidRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidRider</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WeAreVanHelsing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WeAreVanHelsing</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AncasUndeadPlaylist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AncasUndeadPlaylist</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZ8DFG8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZ8DFG8</a>
