"The Red of Blood and Roses" is a multi-point-of-view, dark fantasy/adventure series. The story contains dark fantasy elements, foreboding ambiance, violence, language, sex, drug/alcohol use, time travel, and war. These books are intended for adult readers.

The story encompasses two young adults, Colton and Evelyn, who unwillingly get thrust into a fantastical world, long lost and forgotten by humans. Not only are they forced to traverse the frightening and wild fantasy world of Ioretha, but they must also cope with a difficult truth - that everything they thought they knew about life and human origin is all a lie. But their crumbling realities are only the beginning of their problems. A dark force grows in this strange world, and it threatens to consume all life. This world, and all other worlds, are awaiting the fate of the light - wondering if it will persist, or if the end of times has begun. Colton and Evelyn both have a crucial part to play in this twisted, beautiful, terrifying tale, and time is running out. Friendships are forged, sides are drawn, danger is ever present, and much is not what it seems. The fate of all life rests in the hands of a timid girl who does not want war, despite the fact that war is upon her, and a broken boy, who doesn’t even think that humans are worth saving.

Put a Face to the Name

Have you ever wondered if the way you envisioned a character in a book is similar to the way that the author envisioned them? Think about it, there could be a million different ways to see blonde hair, brown eyes, or being tall. Wouldn't it be fun to put a real face to the names?! Well, Danielle thought so too. She discovered this really cool AI program that allows you to create and customize your own avatars. After many hours, she managed to create the closest designs of her story characters and she wanted to share them with all of you. Now you can put a real face to the characters you've come to know and love.

​Many of the characters in the novels are not human and have less than human qualities. These qualities, unfortunately, could not be recreated with the AI program. So, you may notice a few characters looking a tad more human than they should. Danielle still created them with as much likeness as she possibly could though. Also, you may come across a character or two you don't know yet. Keep reading the books to discover who they are. Without further ado, please enjoy this character art and seeing the characters in "The Red of Blood and Roses" come to life a little more.
