Hello all! I'm happy to introduce you to my first story on Wattpad, Between the Quick and the Dead.
I grew up Catholic, and the complex and intricate web of mythology and demonology that has developed around the religion has always fascinated me. In this story, I explore the reputation that the demons have in the Bible and Christian writing, despite the indispensable role they play in making the celestial world go round.
In the story, Drew is the protagonist demon, keenly aware of the inherent conflict of doing righteous work in what would be considered a sinful way in any other context. Demons are reviled but, as the saying goes, a necessary evil.
He encounters Avery, an average human with an above-average sense of moral duty, and he struggles with understanding what the world owes her, and why she chooses a righteous life. When they fall in love, their worlds become infinitely more complex.
By the end of the story we, as readers, get to examine difficult moral questions wrapped around what I hope is an endearing love story, with a little bit of sex peppered in as a treat. New chapters release every Wednesday, but the story is done, so you only have to wait a little while before you'll get to the satisfying conclusion, and teaser for an exciting new adventure that might await the couple.
I'd love to know what you think of it! Thanks for reading :)
