So…. Like I said, the funniest things that happen sometimes come out of real life. This one in particular. I won’t explain what I mean by “Asian Priest”. But this a quote from a good pal of mine who sometimes gets carried away with booze. What he said made no sense. And I thought it would be profound to immortalize him here on “Writing and Reading”. Cheers.

It’s time for a little evil…. (The Wretched Writer feels the fire grow in his eyes).
I have my fourth sketch here of my very first villian of THE CAIN LETTERS. Literally. As in, he appears in the very first scene of the book.
His name is…
NIKOLAS STAHL
Sired centuries ago by darkness, Nikolas Stahl of the Russian Vampire Nation, Warrior of the First Blood Council in Russia, lived with a hunger to reign–bitter over impurities over the history and centuries of strange experiments and new breeds of vampire. In essence, Nikolas stands as one of the oldest vampires in the world–hence making him a ‘purist’. Among his most loathed are a vile breed of vampire known as ‘threll’. Hideous monsters sired out of dead vampire blood, transforming them into something unspeakable and shameful toward the natural vampire race.
For all his eternity, he’s sworn death to that breed, wanting to rule over the Council itself as well. Poisoned by power and an insatiable lust for the secret of his being, the origin of power, the origin of evil, a lust rivaling that of his own need for blood, Nikolas Stahl faces the vulnerable world with a fanged smile on his face and eyes of fire. A fire that will forever burn….
