WOODEN SOULS - Available in Paperback and Ebook on December 7, 2026

The chancellor and his vampire flock have a problem. Murder is becoming too risky.

A new, discreet method of survival must be found among the children who are under his care at the private orphanage he operates out of an 1800s stone mansion.

One night, when the young orphan, Alfred’s fear of death is exposed, the chancellor believes him to be the key.

From that night on, Alfred is manipulated by the chancellor until his release into the world on his eighteenth birthday.

Using the mysterious skill of wood carving in a ritualistic method shown to him by Professor Dark, Alfred corrupts the souls of the townsfolks one by one to provide energy from the evil that is released inside of them.

When the evil becomes too great to control any longer, the chancellor’s greed threatens to destroy the life Alfred has built with his wife, Florence for almost two centuries.

Is Alfred strong enough to stop his master?
