When asked about what motivated him to self-publish the series Brian responded, "I remember winning a state-wide creative writing contest when I was in grade school and being interviewed on the radio. From that moment on, I knew I would one day publish a book and I have finally done just that. It was truly a labor of love for me and I am intrigued by the independent publishing process. I learned as much as I could and have also designed my own book covers and website. I have created a promotional video for my Kickstarter campaign and I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks for all of my supporters. They should feel pride at supporting self-publishing and helping authors everywhere to tell their stories. Remember, everyone has a story to tell. Whenever I became discouraged I reminded myself of one of my favorite quotes: 'It's better to do a thing than live in fear of it.' I have lived my life that way and that is the attitude that any independent author needs to succeed."
The first paperback ISBN 978-0-9983252-0-0 can be purchased from BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com, or the author's website http://www.brianference.com. It can also be found in dozens of different ebook formats at the iTunes Bookstore, Kobo, Scribd, and more.

Book One Description: The Wolf of Dorian Gray – A Werewolf Spawned by the Evil of Man
"Sage tried to ignore the flash of blood, as the image of the giant grey wolf rushed back into her mind. During one of her nightly gatherings in Epping Forest, she was astounded to come across the animal—which was thought to have been hunted to extinction in England well over two centuries ago."

His friend and mentor, Lady Helena, provides a guiding hand as he struggles with his conscience and the purpose of living. Meanwhile, the wolf begins to grow and change into a hideous monster that is ravaging the countryside. What will happen when the wolf comes to London? Can Dorian save his soul? Or will the beast consume it and his life, along with those of his friends and loved ones?
