Stavis is pronounced (STAY-Vis) for those wondering. I write paranormal fiction, and I love everything about the supernatural. My first novel, Daniel's Veil , hit the top of the Amazon charts when it debuted (thanks everyone!).
I have a new Marvel comic series and upcoming Xbox 360 game called "Demons of Mercy" about an assassin caught in the battle between Heaven and Hell.
Before all of this, I fell in love with Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), and wrote her memoirs. I also enjoy teaching at the university level and doing panels at conventions across the U.S. I love television -
I'm addicted to LOST!

My Interests

writing, theater, movies, art, videogames, comic books, animals, exotic travel, New York (a shout out to Adriana Pizza on 3rd!), dimensions

I'd like to meet:



My last name is pronounced (Stay-Vis) for those wondering.
I'm a cross-media writer/creator. My work tends to fall under
paranormal, dark fantasy, and horror. My fans know me best
as the creator of the back story for Lara Croft (Tomb Raider).
I love the supernatural, but I obsess over quantum physics.
I'm classy, but I tell dirty jokes. I am thankful for my career,
colleagues, and friends and those who enjoy a great story.
I have a new Marvel comic series and
an upcoming Xbox 360 game called,
" Demons of Mercy™ " about an assassin
caught in the battle between Heaven and Hell.

I also have several more graphic novel /
comic projects I'll announce soon,
so check back.

MySpace Exclusive!!
I'll be revealing the never-before-seen
real-time game model of the lead character,
Mercy, for my upcoming video game,
Demons of Mercy™

Daniel's Veil, my first novel, hit #1 on the Amazon Ghost Top Sellers List. It follows Michael and Daniel as they discover what's beyond this life as we know it.

The Order of Souls is my new YA trilogy.
More to come on this series soon...

I am returning to my network TV roots to collaborate on a dark new television series created by and starring Christopher Judge (Stargate SG-1) called Rage of Angels.

Judge is the legendary Archangel Gabriel, sent back to Earth on a crucial mission. An unseen battle of biblical proportion wages between Lucifer's and God's great armies. The prize: humanity itself. Now Gabriel must recruit a different kind of army to tip the scales in God's favor. But as the battle rages on and the lines of good and evil become blurred, will Gabriel succeed in stopping the war - or will he succumb to Lucifer's dark forces?
You can catch me on radio, tv, and in magazines. Take a look at the dates listed to see if I will be in your area, or when articles or interviews are coming out.
