about me

"My mind wanted to do nothing more than cower in the corner and babble while the Something looked at me through the keyhole of that door, but I couldn't do even that. I could not look away, though I ached with the want of it.
Instead, I screamed." - From "Locks" in "Just Before Dawn"

"We learn to forget at around age thirteen and it gets worse with age. We forget about the places in the dark and the things that creep within them. A terrible thing, forgetting." - From "The Shadowed Corner", a short story in "Just Before Dawn"


Joshua Hernandez is an independent author working out of Delano, California. His short story compilation, "Just Before Dawn", is his most recent work and is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.

His novel, "The Blood of a Savage", and it's subsequent sequels are awaiting publication. He is currently working on TBoaS as well as a collection of horror stories call...ed "Odds and Ends". A collection of poetry called "Doorways and Dreamscapes" is forthcoming.

Joshua is currently seeking freelance writing whether it be short stories (genre fiction, fantasy, horror, literary fiction, etc.), articles or reviews. Work on projects both large and small more than welcomed; collaboration given and accepted with pleasure!

Back me if you enjoy what you read, shelve it, put it on your watchlist. Either way, I appreciate it. I will try to answer back reads, that is a promise. I enjoy the writing, I enjoy the reading. I enjoy the interaction. I enjoy spam not at all. Other than that, friend me, back me, shelve me, comment or message, and I'll be good enough to try to return the favor. There are some great writers here, and some great spammers as well. The former, I applaud you. The latter...oh well.

The Blood of a Savage: Book On....

Joshua C. Hernandez

Telmar is under siege by evil and darkness; only the mercenaries of the Savage Horde can save it from the evil demongod Silas Merrtu Maul.


Centuries after the fall of the dark god Maul the world of Telmar has degraded into a continuous struggle for control. Within the Kingdom of Uthradt political and social squabbles often erupt into civil wars. The kingdom relies heavily on the strength of mercenary clans to settle disputes, the greatest of these being the Savage Horde. But now servants of the dark god's power are plotting in the shadows to resurrect their fallen master. In the county of Elborn a struggle over a mining city and their magic controlling metal erupts suddenly. South of county Yurghol strange creatures roam the swamp controlled by a hidden enemy that seeks control of city. Finally, in the east, the kingdom's capital of Kirkland rumors of assassination, hidden cults and revolution have begun to weaken the already failing nation. Only the Savage Horde, descendants of the hero Bulvyf Alricson, slayer of the dark god centuries before, have a chance to stop the Kingdom of Uthradt, and all of Telmar, from falling into madness.

Complete at 210,567 words. Revised Prologue and First Chapter! New Cover Art by James Bennet!

I really enjoyed the Prologue. It was a unique voice in a world of cliched thriller type whodunnits. Left me hungry for more. Such a different narrative, very enjoyable. Backed with pleasure. Joshua Hernandez "The Blood of a Savage", "Just Before Dawn" view book

This has a touch of cinematic anime to it, I can very easily imagine it as a full length feature. The asides of Jemma's thoughts are a nice touch, but once or twice they caused me to stumble, breaking the flow of the narrative. Overall a very enjoyable piece, can't wait to finish reading it.

Fantasy should capture the imagination immediately, taking the reader beyond the mundane into a world of magic and fey locales. There should be a "something" that makes the reader desire to know more, to experience more of the tale with each passing word. "The Keeper of the Sightless Eye" does thi... view book

I like the pacing of the story. From the get go the characters are more realistic than some murder mystery authors manage to pull off. Enjoying it thoroughly. Backed. view book

While there are a few general editing mistakes that need to be fixed, the idea itself is very good. I like the base idea, and the pitch drew me in to make sure I read it. Just wondering, the flow of the writing is a bit hesitant. Is that because that is the nature of the narrator, or because ... view book
