David Rider ✅<p>On June 6, 2020, I published a story titled <a href="https://c.im/tags/MarkedMan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarkedMan</span></a> about a cursed guy named Rob who’s traveling through England while being stalked by supernatural monsters.</p><p>For the ebook cover, I dressed my son in a field jacket and drove him to the middle of nowhere to pose as my protagonist. My wife lent her graphic design skills, and photoshopped an inverted pentacle on his back. I got such great feedback on the story that I went on to include it as the prologue in my first novel—which led to a second one, and another spinoff novel.</p><p>I’ve got more Team Van Helsing adventures on deck, and I’m super proud of the mythology that started five years ago with this little story. 🥳 🎉</p><p>(I plan on making the novels available in places other than the ‘Zon, just like “Marked Man” is already available on Barnes &amp; Noble, Kobo, and others.)<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieAuthor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieAuthor</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorAuthors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorAuthors</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieHorror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SupportIndieHorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SupportIndieHorror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DavidRider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DavidRider</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WeAreVanHelsing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeAreVanHelsing</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AncasUndeadPlaylist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AncasUndeadPlaylist</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://books2read.com/u/bPp8rR" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">books2read.com/u/bPp8rR</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
