I write action-packed sci-fi and historical fantasy. I want to immerse readers in another time and place and for my stories to be gripping adventures. You should love my complex heroes and hate the twisted bad guys.

If you like the sound of that then check out; GODS OF BRONZE (my new historical fantasy series), THE IMMORTAL KNIGHT CHRONICLES (bestselling historical fantasy) and the GALACTIC ARENA series (smart military scifi).

Thanks for taking an interest in my stories. Follow me here on Goodreads to keep up to date with releases.

You can get the Bronze Age fantasy novella THE WOLF GOD (it’s the GODS OF BRONZE prequel) now for FREE via my website: dandavisauthor.com

With the crimes in Vampire Heretic I did my best to avoid going into too much detail and also to avoid showing them happening. Rather, I have characters describing events they witness to Richard or to the court. And when I did I also edited out the worst of the details which are described thoroughly in the court documents.

Heretic was the grimmest one I've written due to the demographics of the victims of the crimes.

In general, though, violence has never bothered me. Suffering does, however, and over time I have become increasingly sensitive to writing about it. I don't enjoy reading relentlessly grim, miserable stories. I hope the action, adventure, heroism, and humour help to balance the harshest elements in this series.

Dan Davis Hi John thanks for your message. Really appreciate that. There will be many more of the Immortal Knight Chronicles and the new series Gods of Bronze. …moreHi John thanks for your message. Really appreciate that. There will be many more of the Immortal Knight Chronicles and the new series Gods of Bronze.

I will soon be releasing Godborn book 1 in the Gods of Bronze series of which The Wolf God is a prequel.

After that will be Vampire Cavalier the Immortal Knight Chronicles Book 8. And there will be many more in the series after that taking us into the 20th century.

Thanks for getting in touch and watch out for Godborn. Cheers. (less)

“Isabella had been a bright bird flying into my drab hall and I was a puppy staring at it, wanting it but not knowing what I would do if I ever caught it.”
Dan Davis, The Immortal Knight Chronicles Box Set

“But you should always obey your wife, other than those times when you do not wish to.”
Dan Davis, The Immortal Knight Chronicles Box Set

“In fact, our ship crossed the channel and hugged around the coast of Kent and then up the Thames into London. It was a truly vile place, and only ever became worse as the centuries rolled by. It was a city for the grasping, the ambitious, and the perverse. Seekers of power and pleasure. Desperate men and women living in filth, breathing in the smoke and stench of rotting shit while dreaming of one day winning great wealth and marrying their son to an impoverished lady. A city of pimps, jesters, smooth-skinned lads, flatterers, pretty boys, effeminates, paederasts, singing girls, quacks, sorceresses, extortioners, night wanderers, magicians, mimes, beggars, and buffoons.”
Dan Davis, The Immortal Knight Chronicles Box Set

Dan Davis Hey everybody, I don't really know if anyone will see this because I am still learning how to use Goodreads properly. But my historical fantasy book VAMPIRE CRUSADER is FREE on Amazon right now (23rd-25th Oct 2015).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015...

Get it now. I'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks
Dan
