Here is a snippet of a recent episode of The Story of Enid that I’ve posted at Kindle Vella. The werewolf of my stories – Ethan Garraint, also known as Etienne and Geraint – is given to expressing himself in journal entries. So, dropping in occasionally on his personal writing gives a closer look at his very unique psyche. I hope you enjoy and drop by Kindle Vella (the first three episodes are free), if you’d like to pick up his tale or his previous novel, The Broken Vow.

A Villain

What constitutes a villain? It is an ancient question that the great philosophers contemplated, often, repeatedly, and with no consistent conclusions. It is a question I have turned over in my mind occasionally as well. Thus, in my vast experience and within the scope of my long, protracted lifetime, I have concluded that defining a villain seems to lie largely in perspective. Outside of extreme examples, mass murderers, horrific despots, and the like, most villains don’t usually see themselves in that regard.

As a prime example, I offer myself. I have been hunted in my lifetime, termed a beast, and, yes, have killed, some might say, unjustly. So, am I the villain? Well, it’s my tale, my chronicle, though I try to be even-handed and fair in its retelling, though unequivocally, I would have to say not.

But Lapetus, my adoptive Brother, might he be a villain?

He certainly dresses the part and seems sinister enough and does try to impose his will. But does he believe so?

Probably not, no, probably not at all.

The Story of Enid

When one realizes that a long-lost soulmate has been reincarnated, it poses some complications. When you have been a werewolf for nearly a millennium, the complications explode exponentially. Ethan Garraint understands that he should stay far away from Erin Holt, but she is in his city, New Orleans, and possibly in danger. And the truth is, he doesn’t want to stay away. He only wants to remind her of the lifetime they lived long ago, when they were more than lovers, when they became legend.
