Cabello
Nightmares are the stuff that answered prayers are made of.
In Saintsville TX, fewer than five people under the age of 70 have died in the past ten years. Now, in the course of a few weeks, the residents of Saintsville are dropping like flies.
When everyone involved in the cover up of Mineau December's abuse and brutal assault begin to die under mysterious circumstances, Mineau believes her prayers are finally being answered. Answered prayers, however, quickly turn into a nightmare when Mineau finds that her savior is more dangerous than anyone she has ever known, than anything she could possibly dare imagine.

Miael: Family
Curiosity may well have killed the cat, but it damned for eternity the phoenix and the seraph.
Born into one of the poorest and most notorious families in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains, Jessica Louise Bell didn't want fo' much aside from a full belly and enough learnin' to be able to read the old family bible.
That her folks kept her holed up in their remote ramshackle cabin made her no mind. That they left the 7 year-old alone all hours a the day 'n sometimes into the night, made her no mind either.
In fact, Jessibel right liked it that way.
Whether anyone knew it or not, Jessica had all the compney she needed. She had Dolly, true, but Dolly was just a toy. Dolly was nothing like Miael.
Sure no one else could see M or hear him. Sure sometimes he could be malicious, but he had yet to steer her wrong or lie to her - something she couldn't say for the rest of the Bell clan.
So, on one hot Ozark night, when one of Miael's games leads to murder, it's only natural that Jessica should follow Miael's council. Only natural that she should feel no guilt or remorse. Only natural that they should kill again.

The True Story behind the novel Cabello
In honor of my recent release of Cabello: Petrika, I've decided to share some Fun Facts about Cabello.
Story Origin
The story of Cabello was borne out of a bizarre nightmare I had had when I was a teenager. (Yes, I tend to remember my dreams).
When I was in high school, I had this kitten that one day mysteriously disappeared. This little kitten was very beautiful and we had already by that time foiled a cat-napping attempt on her.
After her disappearance, I started having these bizarre nightmares that this cat was out to get revenge on me.
While most normal people would have simply been freaked out, I instead wrote down the first scraps of what would later evolve into Cabello.
The REAL Cabello
While the IDEA for the story of Cabello came from that freaky nightmare, Cabello's characteristics are actually those of another cat I had as a teen.
This cat in particular was a rescue. My aunt had seen a homeless person throw it into a drainage canal and had called the fire department to save it (telling them it was hers). She then gave the kitten to me.
Picky (my aunt named her not me) never grew bigger than about half the size of an average house cat. She hated everyone except for me and was known to hiss at and even attack anyone aside from me who tried to touch her.
The thing is, as when she was next to me she was very well-behaved (and very beautiful) people always wanted to touch her. No matter how many times I warned people in advance, they never believed me based on how docile she was with me, and they couldn't seem to resist her charms.
However, the moment a hand got within 2 inches of her WHAM!
Needless to say, it generally only took one try before the interlopers quickly realized the error of their ways and backed off - hurt and bloodied.
Picky also thought she was human. She slept at night (often chastising another rescue kitten we had taken in and even training it to do the same) and watched TV. She was very quiet and never "complained" - often content just to sit in my lap or next to me, often stroking me with her tail.
While I adored Picky and to this very day consider her to be the best cat ever, others found her extremely disconcerting. She had this kind of intense gaze - as though she could see right through you. She also had brown and white fur....one green eye and one golden brown eye.
However, Picky was NOT a Maine Coon.
Cabello's Evolution
Cabello was written some time ago and initially intended as a strand alone (though I did use an ending that begged for a book 2 (which I just released 5/15)).
It was only as I started writing Miael Friends (Book 2 in the Miael series) that it occurred to me that I could have a lot of fun with Cabello (a character I had had a great time writing) if I added him to this series. And thus Cabello joined Miael and Miael (a series I conceived of many years after Cabello: Mineau) became the Cabello series prequel.
Cabello would also go on to be a supporting character in Miael: Lovers.
Just like the other characters in Miael (including Acadea), Cabello is not what he appears to be at first glance.
Cabello is not actually a cat at all, but a cursed supernatural being.

Story Origin
The story of Cabello was borne out of a bizarre nightmare I had had when I was a teenager. (Yes, I tend to remember my dreams).
When I was in high school, I had this kitten that one day mysteriously disappeared. This little kitten was very beautiful and we had already by that time foiled a cat-napping attempt on her.
After her disappearance, I started having these bizarre nightmares that this cat was out to get revenge on me.
While most normal people would have simply been freaked out, I instead wrote down the first scraps of what would later evolve into Cabello.
The REAL Cabello
While the IDEA for the story of Cabello came from that freaky nightmare, Cabello's characteristics are actually those of another cat I had as a teen.
This cat in particular was a rescue. My aunt had seen a homeless person throw it into a drainage canal and had called the fire department to save it (telling them it was hers). She then gave the kitten to me.
Picky (my aunt named her not me) never grew bigger than about half the size of an average house cat. She hated everyone except for me and was known to hiss at and even attack anyone aside from me who tried to touch her.
The thing is, as when she was next to me she was very well-behaved (and very beautiful) people always wanted to touch her. No matter how many times I warned people in advance, they never believed me based on how docile she was with me, and they couldn't seem to resist her charms.
However, the moment a hand got within 2 inches of her WHAM!
Needless to say, it generally only took one try before the interlopers quickly realized the error of their ways and backed off - hurt and bloodied.
Picky also thought she was human. She slept at night (often chastising another rescue kitten we had taken in and even training it to do the same) and watched TV. She was very quiet and never "complained" - often content just to sit in my lap or next to me, often stroking me with her tail.
While I adored Picky and to this very day consider her to be the best cat ever, others found her extremely disconcerting. She had this kind of intense gaze - as though she could see right through you. She also had brown and white fur....one green eye and one golden brown eye.
However, Picky was NOT a Maine Coon.
Cabello's Evolution
Cabello was written some time ago and initially intended as a strand alone (though I did use an ending that begged for a book 2 (which I just released 5/15)).
It was only as I started writing Miael Friends (Book 2 in the Miael series) that it occurred to me that I could have a lot of fun with Cabello (a character I had had a great time writing) if I added him to this series. And thus Cabello joined Miael and Miael (a series I conceived of many years after Cabello: Mineau) became the Cabello series prequel.
Cabello would also go on to be a supporting character in Miael: Lovers.
Just like the other characters in Miael (including Acadea), Cabello is not what he appears to be at first glance.
Cabello is not actually a cat at all, but a cursed supernatural being.
