Weird #TTRPG question:

Has anyone here ever played 2004 #WorldOfDarkness (later called #ChroniclesOfDarkness)?

Before I cause any confusion, I am NOT talking about #Vampire (#Masquerade OR #Requiem), #Mage (either #Ascension OR #Awakening), or Werewolf.

I am talking about the book shown below. Where you played normal humans who stumbled into a horror story (becoming stuck in a #StephenKing novel might be a good description) and became aware of the supernatural.

Author Spotlight: Josiah Akhtab

I write. I workout. I make Youtube videos. I play Basketball. I meditate. I journal. I read either Fantasy or Philosophy. Oh, and did I forget to mention that daydreaming about a story is more entertaining than writing it? But hey, if I don’t write the story who will, right?

Josiah Akhtab has been writing for over ten years, and has published ten books. His first novella, Confession, was published in 2017 with Dorrance Publishing, and his first novel, The Jake Matthews Saga: Ascension, was published in 2019.

1. What drew you to writing as a creative outlet, and how did your publishing journey begin?

It all began with Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. A story of adventure, emotion, world-building, and fantastical creatures. It captivated and inspired me so much that I wanted to create a story of my own with those same elements. 

As for my publishing journey, it began with me traditionally publishing a novella, Confession, in 2017 with Dorrance Publishing. After that, I decided to take more control of my journey and venture into self-publishing which has taught me more about the writing world and helped me become more then just an author. 

2. What were your main influences for your first novella Confession (2017), and for The Jake Matthews Saga? 

I would say Animes like Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece were large influences for both works. I prefer action packed, gritty, fast- paced, and dark and those animes are the top examples of all those elements. 

3. Are there repeated themes in your work? Anything that might be recognisable to repeat readers as your author “brand” where it comes to elements, themes, tropes?

The signature tropes of my work are often zero to hero or The Hero’s Journey. The four core elements I try to have in every story are darkness, grittiness, loads of action, and fast pacing. Those are the things I focus on with all of my stories.

4. What drew your attention to the vampire, and what is your take on them?

Vampires have two key interpretations, monstrous and/or seductive. I used to watch movies like Van Helsing and Interview With A Vampire, Vampire Diaries, etc. and I wanted to find a way to combine all those qualities and put a unique spin on the traditional interpretations of the mythical creature.

My personal take is that vampires are often seductive, debonair, and alluring. They also have a sense of dynamism that makes them distinct and uniquely human despite their predatory nature. 

5. Where do you see your take on vampires fitting into other literary traditions like Gothic Horror, Paranormal Fiction, etc that feature them?

I see my take being a unique fusion that has elements of all the traditional genres but is not easily classified as any one genre specifically. My personal take focus on vampires being dynamic, relatable yet still monstrous and seductive to the human audience. 

6. What do you most want to develop in your writing, and what is next for your work?

I would like to develop the core elements of my stories being dark, action-packed, gritty, and fast paced. I want to fill my stories with as much of those elements as possible to maintain a vice grip on my audience. 

What is next for my work is to complete the series that is The Jake Matthews Saga and Immortal. I would like to create the demand for the second instalments first before writing the second books so people have an amazing series to look forward to. 

My latest work is The Adventures of Fleeting Grace which centres around a fourteenth-century girl of North African descent adopted by European parents, who dies and becomes a tangible spirit with a magical cape and finds a portal that leads her to different worlds on a series of adventures. It is set to come out on Christmas this year (25 December 2024).

To my fellow #lightworkers: What magic would you weave if this was your final go around on the carousel of this earthly plane? If you knew that, after this #incarnation, your work would be complete?
The hour is growing late. What does the world need most?

Metaphors, the tree and the apple in the garden of #Eden should be sublated. Knowledge is constituted by a foundation not a tree! Its fruit, is the values of any credence in its dialectic principle. The serpent is not evil but just the being of a programme written to block the #ascension of the people. It trains women to believe they can only get what they want if they accept their children are the outcome of statistical randomness. It trains men to believe they can have all the power they want if they live by mechanical time. Merging both together, so both are trained to desire the same, they destroy the very Eden that they acquire knowledge from to ascend! #MotherEarth #FartherTime #Ascension #MechanicalTime #StatisticalRandomness #TheEndOfEden #Ecocide #DeathCults
