Mattern's best-selling and award-winning The Vampire Princess Trilogy, which tells the origin of the Svalbard Empire's most infamous villain. From P. Mattern: Some authors rush in where angels fear to tread-and R.D.Trimble, ( aka Steve McGovern ) would be just that author.His impressive works are gender-defying and include multiple Bestselling and Award-Winning YA Midgrade adventures, Thrillers, Mystery and Suspense, New Adult Dark Fantasy and Horror.

Even reading works in progress to hear their written words spoken aloud and their stories told in real-time.

His impact on the author community and the encouragement he gives to emerging authors is an incredible and much-appreciated gift to us all.By the time I had finished writing The Vampire Princess Trilogy (the third book co-authored with L.Gauthier), R.D. Trimble was raving as he performed readings of the books on his show about the villainous character VIKTOR that was featured in the Trilogy. It was apparent that this nefarious, conniving, and larger than Death super villain( he was a vampire and a necromancer after all) had sparked his interest in a way few characters ever had.When RD suggested that Viktor needed his own Prequel, I didn't hesitate to tell him he was JUST the one to write it! I knew he would use his formidable writing skills to bring form and substance to Viktor's mysterious past, using his own fertile imagination and well-researched material from both history and legend to form dark and dangerous world readers would want to get lost in.This is what he has done. I know many readers have wondered about Viktor's history, and they will be excited to have their morbid and carnal curiosity satisfied as they devour this compelling tale of tragedy, absolute greed, and relentless narcissism.RD Trimble has dug down deep and emerged with an epic tale of Evil Incarnate.Ladies and Gentlemen, from the blood-tipped pen of RD Trimble, we present to you the unforgettable tale of a Villain for the Ages... ...VIKTOR!
