Seth thought God was dead...but ideas tend to linger.
A day in your writing life.
My writing routine has evolved over the years. I used to change my writing location every day, throughout intervals of new cafes, picnic benches in various parks, and even hiking up a mountain to write a chapter at its summit. I found the change in scenery helped keep my creativity flowing, keep things from getting stale. Which it does, so I’d recommend this sporadic routine to any new writers struggling to get their stories drafted.
But now, after having been a writer for upward of a decade, my routine has been refined. No longer do I need to change my location. I still enjoy a café and always will, but I have no issue these days just sitting down and writing. So, here is what my current routine entails:
Upon awaking up next to my partner, who’s still asleep, much to my envy, I groggily leave bed and enter the kitchen. Brewing coffee, feeding and walking our dog, then spending an hour gradually awaking to my warm, caffeinated drink. Then, I make breakfast for the two of us and bring it into our home library where by then my partner is now awake and clocked into her remote job. Sitting at her desk in the corner, mere inches from mine. Some may think this would be distracting, but I find it peaceful, sitting there next to the love of my life, going about my business and she, hers—and as we do, I put on my headphones to listen to purely instrumental music (songs with lyrics tends to distract from my words) and begin typing. For the next 4-6 hours, with a lunch break between, I’m writing, word after word until reaching my daily goal. My standard is as such: 1000 words is fine but not a great day. 1500 words is a good day, but I can do better. 2000 words is a successful, great day. Anything more than that is just *chef’s kiss*. As stated above, I rarely change things up anymore, and am grounded in this routine, for which I am grateful. While the sporadic location changes in my early writing years and the still figuring it all out was fulfilling, with age I am happy to streamline my life in any way I can. I’m fortunate not to experience writer’s block, being able to simply sit down, and let it flow.

BLURB:
Standing amidst the destruction of Magistrum, great sorrow and guilt weighs upon Seth as he keeps the memory of his mistake close—to continue his growth, to remain good. A concern which lingers through the birth of his daughter, Persephone, labeled a True Born God by the personification of the White Abyss. And due to the sudden death of her uncle, Persephone’s abyssal powers emerge in a destructive way, tearing a hole through the fabric of the world. Thus, solidifying Seth’s worries of managing his own struggles while being father to a god who resembles his past far too much.
Feeling Persephone’s powerful aura pulsate through dimensions, both antagonistic forces begin pursuing her, wanting to eliminate a threat, and make her power theirs. Alongside these heavy stressors, Seth must also deal with the inevitability of Sasha dying the same mysterious way as the other Guild members.
The Earth devolves into a wasteland as the gods ravish the globe, devouring every human they can find. All the while Seth, Sasha, their daughter, and others lay in hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike back, to resist the will of the Abyssian gods—but can they without sacrificing everything they worked so hard to achieve? And will Seth, so burdened by his past actions, endure this, or will he devolve into the monster he once was…the monster he fears his daughter will also become?
Fans of "Jerusalem" by Alan Moore, “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath, or “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakovor will enjoy “The Monsters Among Us.”

The Monsters Among Us
The Abyss Borne Gods Book 1
“Kent Priore writes like a natural about the supernatural, and The Monsters Among Us is a marvelously dark and true novel. American fiction has found a terrific new voice.”
—Joseph O’Neill, PEN/Faulkner Award-Winning Author of Netherland

BLURB:
Seth’s life until now has been a product of a diabolical, evil Truman Show, his entire upbringing a façade orchestrated for malevolent purposes. After his beloved dies, he undergoes a demonic metamorphosis, which causes the world’s fictitious walls to crumble.
As he tries to piece a semblance of his life back together and move on, he meets friends who inspire, but even more harsh truths are revealed, perhaps too difficult to cope with.
The very existence of life and reality is exposed as a machination of grotesque gods. And to defeat them, Seth will have to fill his emptiness, for which there’s only two options…
Bring the world to ruin, or learn to transmute his pain into strength.
Fans of "Jerusalem" by Alan Moore, “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath, or “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakovor will enjoy “The Monsters Among Us.”
“I was intrigued from the first sentence, determined to spend the night speed-reading so I didn't have to remain in suspense any longer.” -Ella Dupuie, author of Fractures of the Fallen
“Supernatural storytelling at its best, this vivid cinematic novel takes the reader on an imaginative journey through what could be considered end of days. The Monster’s Among Us is a masterful creation and a must read—even for those who aren’t fans of fantasy/horror.” —Joni Marie Iraci MFA author of Vatican Daughter

Graduated from Bard College with a BA in the Written Arts, Kent Priore is an author of dark literature, genre-blending epics and vignettes, where dark romanticism meets modern psychology for a macabre but hopeful depiction of inner struggle and the human ability to endure, and perhaps even prevail. He has a fascination with humanity and is one of the few to believe that despite our many weaknesses, we are far stronger than we often think. He wishes to show that strength to those darker individuals, burdened by lonesomeness, poor mental health, and other forces perceived to be out of their control, as well as show them that all is not lost.
