In a time of castles, muskets, and hideous creatures of the night, a beautiful woman travels across the treacherous Dark Forest to be by the side of her dying grandmother. With only a young carriage driver to protect her, she must use her wits and all of her courage to cross the wild country—and to evade the mysterious beast who stalks her.

What follows is a tale full of horror, mystery, and romance: gruesome murders at a village hidden deep in the forest, a castle that holds dark secrets, and a black wolf leading a deadly pack. Nothing is as it seems, and this journey has only just begun. The beautiful lady in the carriage will learn that only love can defeat evil, but is it love or danger that cries out to her in the deceitful light of the moon?

Alan McGill is an American author who lives in Northwestern Pennsylvania with a clowder of cats. Alan was close to his grandparents who grew up in the Great Depression. They were married young and remained together until his grandmother’s passing. His grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and was a gifted storyteller who weaved humorous tales about tough events. Alan grew up with these stories of right and wrong along with watching fictional heroes such as The Lone Ranger, Adam West’s Batman and Captain America. Heroes who stood up to bullies and protected those who could not protect themselves. This made an impression on the author to always do what was right in his own life and shaped his love for storytelling. He is a multi-genre author with his debut novel being A Cry in the Moon’s Light which is a horror romance and mystery series. As with all his books, one of the primary themes involves characters who strive to do the right thing regardless of the adversity they face. The second theme present in all his books is love. A pure and deep love that defeats all evil.

Sounds like an epic tale to read, and a beautiful companion book.

Thank you for saying so. I enjoy writing the saga and people who listened to the podcast commented on how much they enjoyed the story which prompted me to publish.

Thank you. Emily's World of Design did both covers. The dagger and rose on the cover are original art I commissioned. Both objects play an important role in the entire series. More details about they are in the companion artbook. The creatures you see on the cover there are from the sequel and commissioned artwork within the book. There are more details about them within as well.

How did you come up with the idea for the book?

ALAN MCGILL link

I've always enjoyed storytelling. I'm a fan of fantasy tales of all kinds and genre's. I was also enjoyed playing video games. I grew up with Atari then Playstation. One of my favortie character was Alucard from Symphony of the Night. In the early 2000's I was playing an online war game where I was part of a kingdom. The province I selected was an undead. I wasn't very good at the game, but I enjoyed creating stories of the battle for my teammates. We would write pieces back and forth in the message boards. I used Alucard as my character. The more popular stories always had a romantic element. I wanted to write something along those lines. Vampires were, and still are, very popular. I wanted something a little different so I decided on a werewolf. I enjoy period pieces so I thought it would be fun to place the setting in the late 1700's of southern France. I wanted to do a love story where it was more about the pure love, extraordinary love between two souls. The story just developed from there. I am also a fan of Easter eggs in movies and television, so a lot of what I do pays homage to folklore and myths. I didn't want to copy or retell them, but present them in a different way. In fact, a big part of the artbook/companion book revolves around the idea that the mythys and legends we all love are actually true and we have been led to believe they are fictional. This becomes an even bigger part of the world of A Cry in the Moon's Light in the sequels. There are some sneak previews in the companion book.

Thank you. I will be sure to pass on the compliment to Emily's World of Design. She designed both covers for me. I incorporated original art that I commissioned for both cover. The dagger and rose in the main title play a part in the story and can be found within the artbook/companion book as well.

Very nice of you to say. I love period pieces and while challenging to stay true to history, it was fun adapting it to this world. The artbook / companion book really expands on this concept as a introduction to the rest of the stories worldview.

I enjoyed writing it and just finished the sequel in hopes to put it out at the end of next year. The cover designer did a really good job capturing the overall feel of the book. The dagger and rose were special commission pieces from the story. You can learn more about them and their meaning in the companion artbook.
