A Story Teller at Heart
Even as a young child, Michael Terrance would conjure up stories with his imagination, sharing them with anyone who would listen. He's developed his storytelling and writing quite a bit since then, but the thrill of language and creation he first discovered as a child has never gone away.
​
Influenced heavily by Chris Claremont, Christopher Farnsworth, Frank Miller, Neil Gaiman, Thomas Harris, Todd McFarlane, Stephen King, and the brilliant Anne Rice, Michael Terrance started to take his writing very seriously in February 2012 and has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
After pursuing traditional publication and querying literary agents for representation from March 2021 to September 2023 with little interest in his story, Michael Terrance decided to self-publish. Although his dream of being traditionally published fell through, people reading his story and holding his book in their hands is all he wanted.
​
He is looking forward to the release of his debut novel:
THE LAST NOCTURNAE

The Last Nocturnae
Atrocities of Blood & Moon, Book One
It’s been a long time coming...​
Michael Terrance's debut title, The Last Nocturnae, is a story of love, loss, and redemption intertwined with ancient mystery and magic. The arcs comprising the story have a call for comparisons to all-too-human societal problems, like racism and misconceptions of persons with disabilities (think Marvel Comics The X-Men).
The Last Nocturnae will surprise you with unexpected twists, encrypted Easter eggs, and challenge you to ascertain who's the villain. You follow our anti-hero (Sorin) and blind psychologist (Jean) through a morally blurred world where each character’s motives are logical . . . even if they are sinister.​

Official Release Date: October 29, 2024
