From Amazon Reviews of The Cor Chronicles:
"If you enjoy fantasy with a solid dose of bloodshed you can't go wrong here"
"I had work in the morning and tried to stop reading but I just had to know what was going to happen next."
"So they were right, the story is awesome. its 4 in the morning and i have to be up in like 3 hours but i couldn't stop reading until i was done."
In a world where the gods pass their powers to a select few, a boy is born. He is different from his Western parents, his skin changing to the gray pallor of the grave a few days after he was born. He is a Dahken, having received power from the God of Blood. Many in the world fear his people, some would control them, and others hate them. As such, the Dahken have been driven from every corner of the world.
But some still survive, one who took Cor Pelson after the murder of his parents and taught him what it meant to be Dahken. Cor Pelson seeks revenge for the murder of his parents but also to find a place for the Dahken in the world. Within these pages you'll find a story fraught with adventure, battle, and magic. Cor Pelson must harness his powers, find unlikely allies, and fight unexpected enemies. He'll face monstrous foes, dark necromancers, armies, gods, and even people from the stars to forge his own destiny.

Who is Martin Parece?
I'd really rather you not ask me questions like this! Well, are you asking who I am or "Who am I?", because the latter is a completely different question that forces one to look deep into the heart and mind. It is the question humankind has been asking since there was humankind.
Who I am, on the other hand, is just some guy who loves to read and tell stories. As I look back, I have always been a storyteller, from my first short stories to my first faltering attempts at playing Dungeon Master. As of the taking of this picture, I am forty four years old, and I still love TTRPGs (here you can find some free, fan-made content for Alien, my latest obsession), all sorts of fiction, heavy metal (note the Iron Maiden t-shirt) and horror movies. In fact, this last will be readily apparent should you read my anthology Tendrils in the Dark. A lot of shout outs, homages and influences there...
I returned to my creative endeavors around 2009 as my business of seven years began to burn down around me during the recession. I suppose adversity causes growth, and though I shelved my projects for a few years, I returned to them with the publication of Blood and Steel in 2011. I discovered many of the pitfalls of self-publishing and have worked relentlessly to avoid them in future publications. Regardless, people seemed to enjoy the world of Rumedia, and I returned to it with five more novels.
In the end, I'm just a guy who loves to tell stories, read other persons' stories, and head bang in the car. I hope you'll join me on the journey!
