~H.P. Mallory~

Author of Urban Fantasy
and Paranormal Romance.

Welcome to the world of paranormal romance and contemporary urban fantasy.
This is a world of creatures of the night: witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves,
fairies, demons and other creatures from the Underworld and Netherworld.

I'm an author (among other things) and I write novels in the urban fantasy genre.
My books follow the lives of some very interesting characters--Fire Burn and
Cauldron Bubble
tells the story of Jolie Wilkins, an American witch who can
reanimate the dead and To Kill A Warlock is the story of Dulcie O'Neil, a spitfire
fairy who also happens to be in law enforcement for the Netherworld.
Read the first chapter of Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
.

You can learn more about my paranormal romance / urban fantasy books and
characters
or me. I also have lots of random stuff including photos I've taken from
around the world and a just for fun section highlighting neat links, urban fantasy
authors I love and current books (paranormal and otherwise) I'm reading.

Next Urban Fantasy Book

So, I still haven't really figured out what I want to do for my next urban fantasy / paranormal romance book. I was throwing around the idea of writing a young adult ghost hunter type book but I haven't sold myself on that idea yet. The other story line swimming in my head revolves around a woman who has to retrieve souls of the dead which are mistakenly sent to the equivalent of heaven and hell. I was thinking of basing the hell sequences on Dante's Inferno. I'm more jazzed on that idea than the young adult at the moment but I do also want to eventually write a ghost hunter type story just because I've always loved ghost stories. Not sure what I'll do just yet!

 


As the literary say:

Abandon hope, all ye
who enter here.

~ Dante, Inferno

Ghosts

First off, I posted some new photos from my trip to Amsterdam and Ghent, Belgium so check them out! I have been thinking more and more of my next book I want to write and I'm thinking it might center around ghosts or ghost hunting. I haven't figured out the particulars just yet. Anyway, I started reading a book on ghost hunting and got some great ideas for my book. I was even thinking of stretching my Urban Fantasy writing into Young Adult but of course keeping that Urban Fantasy/ Paranormal twist to it, hence the idea on writing about ghosts. I've got to come up with an outline first--I find writing is much easier when you have a clear path as to where your story is going rather than making it up along the way. More to come later...

 


As the literary say:

Your ghost will walk,
your lover of trees,
if our loves remain,
in an English lane,
by a cornfield-side-
a-flutter with poppies.

~ Robert Browning

Amsterdam

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Amsterdam and Ghent, in Belgium so I haven't been around to post to this website. We had such an incredible time although I got yelled at by a prositute in the red light district when I tried to snap her photo! I didn't realize that was frowned on but I guess I do now! I wasn't as impressed with Amsterdam as I was with Ghent which is one of the most picturesque places I've visited. There are canals all over the place and buildings right up to the water. The architecture looks very medieval, with lots of stone. I'll post some pics in the photos section as soon as I can. I haven't started my new ghost book yet as I'm not quite sure in which direction to take it. I'll keep you posted!

Those who write clearly
have readers, those
who write obscurely have
commentators.

Witches & Warlocks

I haven't been on for a while--I've been preparing to move to Edinburgh so I've been pretty busy. But now I'm back! I was thinking about the two heroines in my books, To Kill A Warlock and Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble. Jolie Wilkins (Fire Burn) is a witch and Dulcie O'Neil (Warlock) is a fairy. Someone asked me the other day which character I liked better. I couldn't decide. They are very different. In terms of which character I relate to better? Probably Jolie. She is your basic girl next door who has to learn the lesson of self confidence. Dulcie, on the other hand, is a total spitfire who won't suffer a fool and says whatever is on her mind. How I would love to be like that! LOL
