About C.P. Bialois
CP Bialois’ love of words began as a small child when his father bought
a stack of comics to teach him the reading skills he wasn’t mastering in class.
Before long, he was reading at an advanced level and teachers were shaking
their heads over the unconventional method.
Growing up in the ‘80s, Bialois was exposed to even further inspiration
through the popular cartoons of the day. Transformers, in particular, sparked his
imagination and led to him put his first stories on paper. After a decades-long
break, Bialois began getting back into the world of writing by joining some
role-playing groups. These groups taught him about fleshing out characters and
building worlds that stuck with him as he began writing short stories for fun.
To
his surprise, Bialois would end up completing his first full-length novel, Call
of Poseidon, in 2007. Armed with a finished product, Bialois began working
on another book, The Sword and the Flame, unsure of what he would
ultimately be doing with either. As with many others in the later part of the
first decade of the 2000’s, he found himself out of work and looking into new
options. Over the next two years, he would spend most days at the library,
completing an additional half-dozen works.
Two
books later, Bialois is planning for the release of many more and enjoying the
feedback he receives. The up-and-coming author takes inspiration from favorites
such as Steven King, Tom Clancy and Sue Grafton. His love of history, fantasy
and old monster movies has also served as a muse.
When he’s not busy writer or
chatting on his social networks, Bialois enjoys watching Hockey and Football as
well as Metallica DVDs. He currently lives with his wife- a fellow writer- and
their fur children. CP Bialois is also active in several South Florida writing
groups, as well as the online writer community.

Kindred Excerpt:
A thought came into my head and I
turned, pinning Rafael with a please
don’t mess with me right now…or I’ll rip your heart out stare. I said,
“When we first met, you said we knew one another that you were with me when I
was little, that we’ve always known one another…always…l-l-oved one another…” I
quickly tuned out the others in the room, not wishing to focus on the reactions
of the others…although I did catch the big smile from Elin; an incurable romantic
it seemed. I knew this should have been a private conversation, but deep down I
felt Rafael knew what was happening; I wanted to know what he knew…
He looked at me, with one of those
intense, smoldering I’m a hot guy, and I
really know what this look is doing to you stare…but I wasn’t going to
allow it to affect me. I simply held his gaze in a stable, strong manner…and
hoped I didn’t look like a deer in the headlights… he sighed and said, “Do you
really want to talk about this here?” Rafael looked at me intently, leaning
forward, resting his forearms on his knees…hands pressed together in the
steeple formation that everyone uses to signify they are deep in thought.
I said quietly, “Yes.” He looked at
me again, and I swear, if he didn’t stop looking at me that way, I would
completely forget what we were talking about. He stood up, and crossed the room
and came to stand in front of me—did I happen to mention how close he was?
Well, enough that I felt a little uncomfortable, but I wouldn’t step back, and
I refocused. I needed to hear what he had to say.
“I knew you because I am ThunderKin;
yes, I knew who you were and what this meant in the war coming Samhain…”
“Okay,” I said trying to digest that
here stood one of the legendary Thunderbirds…I saw how his eyes glowed, now
appearing that unearthly golden hue; a worried expression passed over his
features, and I wondered what worried him. I said, “And the rest about knowing
me?”
“I knew you because…” he said as he
reached out, placed his hand on the side of my face, and leaned in close, lips
almost touching. He whispered, “I knew you because you are my destiny…my mate.”
Really can you believe
this?
The Life and Times of
Noone Inparticular Excerpt:
So why do they happen? Like I said, some
people are not opening up to their muses so they can’t hear the messages we’re
trying so hard to get through. They are some that are tuning out because it’s
just easier to take someone else’s work and modify it. Others aren’t doing it
because they’re afraid of falling flat on their faces. With a proven name,
you’re
guaranteed an audience. What if you do an
original movie, show or song and no one likes it? I’ve heard it all a hundred
times. Some of the most high-strung people I have ever met in all my years of
doing this were entertainment executives.It’s like they’re afraid to be human
or to have the actors and musicians they hire do the same. I gave up on them
years ago. They always take the safest route possible. The safest route might
make it easier to get rich quick, but it’s usuallythe most creatively boring.
Fear hampers the creative process and
makes it harder for us to get through to our charges. That’s the one most
important piece of advice you need most, take it from a muse- relax. Art
doesn’t just inspire or teach here and there; it’s supposed to be fun, too!
Skeleton Key Excerpt:
Camping 101 excerpt
“The one that comes to mind is about a
family that went camping one summer, not too long ago. They settled in by their
fire, much as we’re doing now, huddled together and sharing blankets. The night
was clear and you could see all of the stars.” He motioned to the cloudless sky
and stars, which could still be seen despite the fire. “The same as tonight.”
“Unknown to the family, there was a secret
military facility at the base of the mountain where they were experimenting on
volunteers. The men that volunteered did so to help their country, but what was
done to them…” He trailed off, shaking his head before continuing. “Is beyond
description. Earlier that night they managed to escape, killing a handful of
guards before escaping into the woods. Just as the family settled in for the
night, the bushes around them rustled and the seven men burst out and seized
the family.”
“Did they kill ‘em?” Jason’s eyes were
wide as were the rest in the group. Lester knew he had them right where he
wanted them.
Slowly, Lester nodded. “They tore the
people apart with their bare hands and began to eat them. That was how the men
were found an hour later, sleeping with full stomachs and dried blood coating
their faces, hands, and chests.”
“What happened to the men?” This time Eric
spoke, his face was the only one of the group that hadn’t gone pale.
Lester sat back and let out a deep breath,
his hand dropped to the machete propped next to him against the tree. “They
took the six of them back to the compound where they still are as far as anyone
knows. The incident was covered up and blamed on a hitchhiker, turned serial
killer.”
Scratches Excerpt
Lee nodded, "Exactly, here I thought
I had found paradise. But then I guess no matter where you find it, paradise
has to have a serpent."
Elias looked at him with a worried look.
Thoughts of Slasher films danced through his head. "Is there something
wrong here, Lee?"
Lee shrugged, "Dunno, depends on
whether you believe all them ghost stories. People always come up here lookin'
fer the ghost of the little girl, but they never find her."
Meredith felt a little chill go through
her. "A little girl's ghost?"
Lee nodded and puffed on his pipe some
more. "That's right. A little girl supposedly heard scratching at her
bedroom window one night and opened it. Next day she was found dead by her
brother. No one knew what to think or believe. There was no signs of struggle,
no sign of what happened besides deep scratch marks on her windowsill. Since then,
some say her ghost can be seen by the lake, but those that see her don't live
to tell about it."
Meredith remained quiet for a moment. Her
own mind was thinking of the stories of missing children in the paper on a
daily basis. "Do you believe those stories?"
Lee stayed quiet for a few seconds before
shaking his head. "Nah, for the simple fact that how's anyone to know you
died if you see her, if no one's lived to tell about it? Nothing more than
campfire stories, if you ask me."
