About Gate of Betrayal:
Freed from torment, Alan and Grace have spent the last year together exploring the wonders of the world up and down the West Coast. Away from their lifelong self-imposed prisons while working at Tony’s Food Mart in San Francisco, they develop a deep emotional and physical bond with each other, alleviating the loneliness and mistrust they have known for so many years.
A year later, their bond is threatened by a shadow stalking them as they deal with one’s denial to share the truth and the other’s passiveness to pursue it. A tiny absence of information festers, deflecting them from reality, evolving into lies and ultimately death by disloyalty.
In their life’s pursuits, free from the Hell Gates, Alan and Grace inadvertently find themselves forced into preventing another Gate from opening. New enemies and allies form as betrayal internally gnaws at everyone’s soul, generating love, hate, and misaligned loyalties. It’s the perfect condition for the Gate of Betrayal to release another fallen angel upon Salt Lake City and the world.

Author Bio:
V.C. Marello
What began as just a fascination with Friday late-night horror and Sci-Fi reruns, transformed itself and manifested in his imagination to ask “What If…” scenarios.
Fast-forward – he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies with an emphasis on screenwriting from San Francisco State University. His writing opportunities took him on a journey, including his hometown’s local PBS television station, writing press releases, and publishing winery reviews in the California Visitors Review. He was one of the writers for the employment comic book, How to Get a Job and Keep It, produced by the Sonoma County Business and Education Roundtable. One of his most enjoyable writing projects was working alongside historian, Nancy O’Sullivan-Beare, PhD. where he completed the screenplay, Witch of the Western Sea, which earned an Honorable Mention from the Writer’s Digest Magazine Writing competition.
His career took him into the technology field, got married, and then raised a family. The “What if” scenarios persisted, and they evolved into stories. Now, the characters of those stories desire to reveal themselves to our world, no longer forgotten souls hidden in the shadows of an imaginative mind.
