Book One of The Blackwood Files
For nearly two centuries, Count Corvin Blackwood has walked among humanity with a secret that few could imagine. Turned into a vampire in 1826, Corvin chose a different path from the monsters of legend. Instead of preying on the innocent, he has dedicated his immortal life to protecting them.
From his secluded Blackwood Estate in North Texas, Corvin quietly uses his wealth, experience, and loyal circle of friends to help those in need. By day, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is a city of opportunity. By night, it becomes the setting for battles against predators who wear both human faces and supernatural ones.
Inspired by thousands of real rideshare experiences, Dead in Big D weaves together unforgettable stories of courage, compassion, tragedy, and redemption. As Corvin encounters victims of abuse, families in crisis, troubled teenagers, and dangerous criminals, he discovers that the greatest evil often isn't found in ancient legends-but in the choices people make.
Along the way, Corvin forms an unlikely friendship with Virgil Johnson, a 150-year-old werewolf who has spent his own lifetime protecting his family and building a legacy in West Texas. Their shared sense of honor forges an alliance that will shape the future of both men-and set the stage for an even greater conflict.
Filled with action, suspense, humor, heart, and supernatural intrigue, Dead in Big D introduces readers to a world where justice still matters, loyalty is earned, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.
Because sometimes the real monsters aren't the ones with fangs.
And sometimes, the greatest heroes are the ones no one ever sees.
