about me

I was an English/Language-Arts teacher for 18 years until I discovered it was no longer fun. It wasn't the students so much as it was the politics. So I changed careers and suddenly found the time to write. I discovered an old, handwritten beginning to a story, word processed it, and became overwhelmed with it.

If I am not writing, I am reading...or playing tennis.

I love all things English, for I am married to a supportive Brit chick who, when she is not making me laugh, pushes me to keep writing.

"Johnny Appleseed" is one of my wife's favorite nicknames for me. I am also known as the Tennisrocker.

The Dark Betwixt

John P. Wallman

Legend, darkness, demon, vampire--she is the One sent from the Underworld. Soon, the Queen of the Night will return...


From the ancient ziggurats of Mesopotamia to the bloody sands of the Crusades, from the proper streets of Victorian London to the hedonistic crowds of present day rock concerts, enter a world of darkness and light, evil and goodness...and a girl and a boy. She is the One who will bring about the return of the Queen of the Night. He is the Chosen to stand against the growing darkness and stop her.

Enter a world where goddesses are not so divine, epic heroes not so heroic, kings not so noble, and history not so defined.

Enter a world behind the world, hidden from humanity but fighting a war as old as Heaven, a world of dark political confederacies and secret Vatican societies, of demonic vampires and smiling angels battling over control of the Creation and the blessed souls who walk ignorantly through it.

It is a world of the Dark betwixt humans and vampires, angels and demons--ultimately, betwixt choice and destiny.

Dear Sanchez Lovers, Thanks for your kind words. Coming from someone who does not read this genre, yours is an important response. If those not wholly interested in horror and vampires are entertained by the story, then I have done my job. Again, thanks. It is funny that you would comment ... view book

Many thanks, Julie, for your kind words. Reynald is one of my favorite characters too. The funny thing is that the kernel story from which the novel grew was about this tired vampire Reynald and this teenage girl Angelique who had found him, and how she wanted to be a vampire too. He wanted to t... view book

Thanks for the kind words, LaRonda. I'll add your book to my Watchlist, but I have so many promised reads that I fear it will be a while before I can get to it. Thanks, again...and take care. Johnny Appleseed THE DARK BETWIXT view book

Horror Critique Group LIFERS by M.A. Lewis …is about an investigation into a cult that occupies the little, hidden town of Martinsville. Apparently, these strange townies “come” for young people as they reach 16 years and turn them into “one of them.” They have odd powers (complete accelerat... view book
