Dante Craddock is a pen name. I have chosen to use a pen name because I plan on eventually writing in multiple genres. Why Dante Craddock you may ask. That name appealed to me. In the name lies a secret. It is for you the reader to discover this secret. If you can discover this secret a prize will be waiting for you. E-mail me with your answer. Under the name Dante Craddock I write Romance with elements of the paranormal. These stories will center around the magic that is love. A magic that flows between two people in love. For when two people fall in love they create a magic that is all their own. Magic that has the power to do incredible, unexplainable things. In the Power of Love Quartet I explore this magic. The first of the Quartet is A Love Beyond Time. I have been writing for over a decade now, but have not finished any of the ideas that I have until recently. Why elements of the paranormal you may ask? I started working on A Love Beyond Time as a simple love story, but it eventually evolved into its present form as the first book in the Power of Love Quartet. Along the way it changed from the simple love story it had began as to its present form. Looking back at it I have realized that it was always heading in that direction. I am an organic writer. I get ideas from the world around me. From everything I read, see or hear. The ideas seem to pop out of nowhere at times. Others are triggered by some event. An example of this happening would be the idea for my first novel, A Love Beyond Time. Some years ago I saw the music video for the song Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. A question popped into my head. What if they were given a second chance? From that question came the origins of what became A Love Beyond Time. I am currently working on A Memory of Love, the sequel to A Love Beyond Time.
