Our only hope will come from Hell.

About Me


My name is Charles, and this will soon become the place where you can find out everything you need to know about my independent novel, HELL KNIGHT!
HELL KNIGHT is a fantasy-horror novel for mature readers only.
See the first three chapters for HELL KNIGHT here: http://www.geocities.com/hellknightnovel/index.html
The setting of HELL KNIGHT is in the heart of a nation known by its citizens as God's Country. The United States of America. It is in the heart of this nation a secret war is about to explode between the mortal and the immortal...
At the core of the conflict is a warrior who will come from the shadows...from a realm of indescribable, unspeakable nightmares. A realm where only evil reigns. And she can make many things possible.
Her mission will be unknowable to the mortal world, but she will have mortals serve her. They will be her army... they will kill and die for her. Her enemies are equally mysterious in their purpose, but they are monstrous. Vile beyond belief. And they are legion.
This much the world will know...
By the sharp blades of her swords, she will make blood flow like a river.
But a detective in the heart of God's Country, haunted by her past, will become obsessed to understand the truth. Understand why the bloody chaos is happening.
The truth will be beyond anything she can imagine.
It is a truth that threatens to change everything.
The truth will force a mortal detective to follow a relentless, ruthless warrior from another realm into the darkest of shadows.
Both will find an unexpected, shared destiny.
But in the end, only this warrior from another realm can do everything in her unworldly power to deny the change her enemies threaten to bring.
She will become the only hope for the mortal world... in spite of one extraordinary fact.
She came from Hell.
She is the Hell Knight.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone.

Create your own visitor map!

Music:

I enjoy all kinds of music...but in the end, in answer to Mrs. Mia Wallace (from the deleted scene in PULP FICTION): "I'm an Elvis man, sweetie." Other favorite artists include AC/DC, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Evanescence, America, Metallica, Anita Baker, Johnny Cash, Sade, Diana Krall, Gravity Kills, Keiko Matsui, Quiet Riot, The Bee Gees, Disturbed, Roy Orbison, ABBA, and Chuck Berry, among quite a few others.

Movies:


You honestly haven't seen a movie until you've seen GRINDHOUSE, specifically PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF! The only grindhouse movies I've seen before that, though, are FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH, Rob Zombie's HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES and THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, the STREET FIGHTER and SISTER STREET FIGHTER films, and THE SEVENTH CURSE, an '86 film from Hong Kong starring Chow Yun-Fat. Among my favorite films: SIN CITY, HARD BOILED, SERENITY, FIST OF LEGEND, the EVIL DEAD films, HELLBOY, TRANSFORMERS, JAWS, ENTER THE DRAGON, 300, AIRPLANE I and II, NINJA SCROLL, THE WARRIORS, the ORIGINAL STAR WARS trilogy, FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN, OLDBOY, SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE, SILENT HILL, APPLESEED, SCARFACE, KUNG-FU HUSTLE, HERO, Robert Rodriguez' trilogy of EL MARIACHI, DESPERADO and ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, DISTRICT B13, HARD CANDY, THE CROW (only the Brandon Lee original!), RESIDENT EVIL and RE: APOCALYPSE, SUKEBAN DEKA I and II, PROJECT A, ULTRAVIOLET (the unrated version!), DRAGONS FOREVER, LADY SNOWBLOOD, THE LONGEST DAY, SE7EN, SNAKES ON A PLANE, PREDATOR, FIGHT CLUB, PULP FICTION, BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE, THE HEROIC TRIO and THE EXECUTIONERS, SHANGHAI EXPRESS, THE PRODIGAL SON, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, THE MATRIX (and I'm not including its sequels), RETURNER, KILL BILL I and II, BACK TO SCHOOL, D.E.B.S., CATS & DOGS, AKIRA, GHOST IN THE SHELL, PERFECT BLUE, THE GODFATHER (the second was good, the third barely okay), LA FEMME NIKITA, CLERKS I and II, SHOGUN ASSASSIN, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF!, PATRIOT GAMES, DARK COMMAND, EQUILIBRIUM, FULL CONTACT, DONNIE DARKO, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, 28 DAYS LATER, any film starring Yukari Oshima and/or Moon Lee, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, THE RING I and II and RINGU, STAGECOACH, DIRTY HARRY, MY LIFE AS A DOG, MAGNIFICENT WARRIORS, VAMPIRE EFFECT, ENEMY OF THE STATE, THE KILLER, A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE, OPERATION CONDOR, THE RUNDOWN, and CHICKEN LITTLE, to name a few. Yes, I said CHICKEN LITTLE! You got a problem with that? And of course, I've seen The Lord of the Rings and its sequels...like I told a friend, though, saying that trilogy is great is like saying the sky is blue! ;) And no, I CANNOT take credit for that! But my current favorite that rises above (nearly) all the films listed just now is AZUMI, probably the best swordplay film I've ever seen and one of the best action movies of all time. My merely hearing about this film years before inspired me in the creation of HELL KNIGHT, and to watch this film will change your mind forever about whether teenaged girls can carry samurai swords or not!

Television:

Not much...the main reason I turn on the TV these days is to watch a DVD or play video games. (FIREFLY, HAPPY DAYS, MORK AND MINDY, CSI:NY, LAW & ORDER, and PROFIT are among my few favorite shows.) I've seen a fair share of anime, too...my favorites there include BURST ANGEL, ERGO PROXY, GHOST IN THE SHELL: SAC, SAMURAI GIRL: REALBOUT HIGH SCHOOL, STEEL ANGEL KURUMI, and TRIGUN.
I'm a PlayStation geek, and entire game series are among my favorite games. My favorite series include (but as you'll see not limited to Sony's consoles): DEVIL MAY CRY, RESIDENT EVIL, DOOM, FINAL FANTASY, HALO, HALF LIFE, SILENT HILL, ONIMUSHA, GRAND THEFT AUTO, ACE COMBAT, GOD OF WAR, BALDUR'S GATE: DARK ALLIANCE, SSX, TWISTED METAL, PARASITE EVE, DINO CRISIS, DYNASTY WARRIORS, SAMURAI WARRIORS, NEED FOR SPEED, ZONE OF THE ENDERS, KESSEN, RAINBOW SIX, TOMB RAIDER, TEKKEN, FEAR EFFECT, MAX PAYNE, PRINCE OF PERSIA, RATCHET AND CLANK, JAK AND DAXTER (later just plain JAK), TONY HAWK'S PRO SKATER...damn, I'd go on, but I'd need another page! My favorites among those series: DEVIL MAY CRY 3, RESIDENT EVIL 2 AND 4, DOOM and DOOM 3 (including RESURRECTION OF EVIL), FINAL FANTASY VI, VII, VIII, X, and X-2, HALO 2, HALF LIFE 2, SILENT HILL 3, ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS and DAWN OF DREAMS, GTA: SAN ANDREAS, ACE COMBAT 5, SSX TRICKY and 3, TWISTED METAL 2 and TM: BLACK, NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT 2 and MOST WANTED, the original PC RAINBOW SIX, TOMB RAIDER 2 and LEGEND, TEKKEN 3 and 5, and...jeez, I'd better stop now! (And I haven't even included the games that aren't part of a series!)

Books:

The works of Tom Clancy, Laurell K. Hamilton, Stephen King, Frank Miller, and Andrew Vachss.

And this may come as a shock to some of you, but I also read manga! Calm down! I haven't been able to get into it a great deal, like anime (For one thing, I don't have the budget to get every Dragon Ball book!), but I've got a few favorites in manga, too!

My Blog

I got tagged...ah, well!

I have been tagged by R.M. Hamilton and now have to list eight things that most people do not know about me, hmmmm....Each player starts with eight random facts/habits or embarrassing things...

Just got the black and white photos back!

Most of them came out great, but a few had this strange flare on the image.  I asked the store where I got the photos developed, and they said it could either be something reflecting into the len...

It's too much to go into...

It really is, and I can't express how angry with myself I am.  One minute I'm here, about to make good on what I told you about yesterday, then something came up that took me offline.&n...

The shoot is complete!

Thank Heaven...    It took too long to get to this point, and after reaching it, the shoot took longer than my model and I thought it would.  But no problems outside of that, we we...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog...

Sorry, this blog will be a little shorter than usual...and so will my time on MySpace in general today.    Fortunately, it might be worth it.  I've had a busy day, yet I used a part of ...
