L.G.
Burbank is a pseudonym for Leslie Burbank who has been writing dark fiction for
publication for the past six years, prior to that the author was writing romance.
The author's first series, The Lords of Darkness is being published by Medallion
Press. Volume One: The Soulless and Volume Two: The Ruthless are currently available. | Mordred Soulis, the Chosen One, has
awakened from his healing slumber and must now continue his mission to save mankind.
It is time to journey to the land of ice and snow, to the place where earth and
heaven meet. It is time to enlist the aid of the second of the Vampyre kings,
the mighty Lir. It takes all the strength of Mordred's tortured soul to convince
Lir to aid him on his quest to save humanity. For the blood of all Norse flows
through Lir's steely veins, including that of Odin's battle maidens, the Valkyries. Together
at last, the two sail across dangerous seas, discovering a new continent where
Mordred seeks what he needs to defeat his nemesis, Vlad. The task is daunting.
Plagued by the most wicked of temptations, Mordred finally gives in to weakness
and finds himself a victim of the Spanish Inquisition. Once again, he is forced
to reconcile the evil men do with that of his creator. Once again, he must question
his own existence, and the once clear vision of his quest blurs and wavers. And
always, as time ticks slowly by, the destruction of mortals grows ever nearer. |

I am always asked why vampires... First, I spell vampire,
the old Eastern European way, vampyre. I've been told I'm incorrect in my spelling,
but trust me, I can find references to vampyre, wampyre and a host of other spellings
through research. I chose to create a vampyre character because I knew this
was a persona most people could identify with. It is still a popular theme and
people think of vampyres as inherently evil. But what if vampyres were created
as just another predator? No different than a fox or a lion? What if vampyres
were put here to control the human species? I have a biology background
and have long studied the survival of the fittest concept as it plays out in the
natural world, and when left alone, nature has its own devices to care for issues
like over population, disease, etc. Nature, without man, could survive. Man, without
nature, could not. And then there is the spiritual side of man and how that
effects how humans behave. I wanted to delve into myths and legends and gods and
goddesses and see how perceptions from hundreds and thousands of years ago, are
still in place today. What is evil? Can you tell merely by looking at someone?
What if everything you had been told about evil, was wrong? Do you have the power
within you to change for better or worse? | |

Oh,
my, just three to five? That's impossible. I literally have floor to ceiling book
shelves with probably over a thousand books, mostly for research, so it is impossible
to say which ones are more important. I have all kinds of books on world
religions, including the Bible, the Torah, the Koran, the Tao Te Ching, the Bhagavada
Gita and so one. I have non fiction books written to support the religious doctrines,
to those criticizing religions. I'm an equal opportunity writer meaning I'll explore
everything. I also have lots of books on mythology from all over the world.
Cultures as far away a Korean, or Finnish, or Russian. Nothing is off limits for
my writing. Then there are books on periods in history covering everything
from royalty to revolutions, battles to beauty products. I also have whole
shelves devoted to science that involves physics, astronomy, biology and then
other shelves that delve into the supernatural or the metaphysical which include
books on ghosts, vampires, werewolves, monsters, witchcraft, reincarnation, healing,
astral projection, etc. |  |

RUTHLESS BY L.G. BURBANK FEATURING ILLUSTRATIONS BY ADAM MOCK | |

Fall
and spring have always been my favorites. The cycle of the seasons and the ways
people used to celebrate, because their lives were more attached to the seasons,
is fascinating to me. Fall in the Midwest or New England, will always be a beautiful
time for me. There's a crispness in the air, mists at night, the changing of the
leaves, the smell of a wood fire, a clear autumn sky filled with stars and the
knowledge that the natural world is shutting down, preparing to some degree to
hibernate for a while. Pumpkins, Halloween and the reminder of gratitude that
Thanksgiving brings are all things that draw me to fall. But, I also love thunderstorms.
The mood of the sky prior to a storm, the sheer power of the lightning and thunder,
the smell of the spring rain as it cleanses the newly thawed earth and of course
because spring heralds a renewal in nature, the season of birth and the beginning
of a new cycle makes it a favorite as well. |
