Follow on Google News | Vampire Craze Could Be Potential Gold Mine For Author of Urban FictionCharles Allen, author of The Gangsta Prophecy, started out writing about a thug embroiled in a battle of good versus evil, but now the larger-than-life demon sent to bring him to destruction could steal the show.
Although Allen believes allowing Wolvzbeere to join the pack of vampires, witches and she-devils vying for our attention is not exactly what society needs, he admits there may be some hidden benefits to letting him out the box. With the demon in the limelight, he could attract readers who might not otherwise get to know of his work. More readers, regardless of the reason they are drawn, means more people exposed to the true message he aims to get across. Some may not agree with the steps Allen takes to impact lives, but he feels it's important to meet people where they are. "Books have to be culturally relevant to bring about change," he says. "That's why I cross the line and go into some dark, ugly places. Demons are real and understanding how they operate is critical to our survival. The Taoists have a saying, 'Know magic, shun magic,' which means we should study the ways of others not to imitate them, but to keep from being victimized by them. That's why I write about Wolvzbeere and don't have a problem with his potential fame. If the beast gets out of control, I'll simply drive my pen through his heart and send him back to the sea of nothingness." # # # Reign Dance Publishing is the publishing company of urban fiction writer, Charles Allen, and parent company of TheGangstaProphecy.com.
