Kris Hellion: Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977967558)

Michael Hardy (Hardy to his friends) was born in South East Asia and was raised strongly in his country's culture. Between the ages of 7-9, his family moved to England and he developed a love for western culture, but it unfortunately left a staggering effect on his previous life in his home country, leaving him very out of place there. Even now, that effect still remains. Around the age of 10-13, a family/friend, Oliver, introduced him to an anime "Vampire Hunter D," which has a big influence on him. He read the original book and manga the film is based on in his mid 20's that influences him as a writer. In his college & university, his roommate Mike, who wanted to be a film director at the time, inspired him to write a film script, but Mike lost it when he went back to his home country. Even though that script is lost, it still motivated Hardy to become a writer. Then, in the year 2010, influenced and inspired for his love of Vampire Hunter D, the love & hate for certain vampire flicks, video games, Western and Asian monster folklore, and a friend on YouTube, he created Kris Hellion, a story that he has thought of since his college and university years. He hopes that people enjoy reading his book.
