November 2024 Update
Here’s what I’ve been doing, and what’s coming up next:
REVISION OF NATIVE BLOOD, INTENDED FOR RELEASE
Volume 01 of NATIVE BLOOD, titled HARVEST NIGHT, will be the first indie release from Olivia Disparo. The story will first be available in Ebook format, with a tentative physical version in the future. This is a book totaling over 200,000 words, so it’s a winding and entertaining journey full of intense horror moments and unique modern plotlines. Links will be available once it’s up! 🩸
Volume 02, titled BLOOD OASIS, will enter the planning/drafting stage after that. Veteran readers who have already read a draft of Volume 03, titled DARK KINGDOM, and know the most about this series. That entry waits in the background until the first two are completed. I’m writing with the enjoyment of these readers in mind, but also for new readers that find their way to my stories.
HARVEST NIGHT is a self-contained story, meaning you don’t have to read any other books in the Native Blood series to get a full tale. However, the series is designed and dedicated for readers that want to continue the journey after THE END.
PREPARING OTHER STORIES
I have other titles besides Native Blood that are equally important to me and the world of fiction I create. Planning work during breaks from Native Blood are happening now, and will continue through the first releases of that series. Veteran readers who’s experienced some or all of my other titles can look forward to official releases for everything listed on my STORIES page. Eventually, it’ll be simple to locate those stories in a reliable way, and revisit them at any time.
Digital releases like Ebooks are my first focus, but it’d be nice to have them available in physical formats too!
COMING SOON: NEW DARK ART
One of my titles, LESSONS FROM A FALLEN EMPIRE, is a comic/illustrated story project. As a creator, I also tell tales in visual formats like painting and drawing. I’ll be sharing new sketches and artwork that are story-related, or just fitting for my dark, supernatural atmosphere.
LFAFE will receive remastered illustrations once I delve back into the first 13 Lessons from Volume 01. The comic will be shared again.
SITE UPDATES
The site is continually updated for changes in layout, text editing, and addition of new content, like this blog. As more stories and art are shared and release, the site will also grow in complexity to reflect.
Other places to find me, like YouTube, Instagram, or elsewhere, will be available once they’re relevant.
Thanks for stopping by this first entry. More news, and things to read, coming soon.
