This is part two of my work-in-progress. Read Part 1: Unknown Someone was yelling. Jammary’s voice didn’t deviate from monotone but how could he have company? She didn’t care. She just wanted the shouting to stop. It did. Finally, Camin could go back to sleep. Slowly, she slid her hand under the pillow, grabbed the hilt of her dagger…
This one took longer to write then expected. I mean, I sat here looking at this short passage for ages wondering what was off about it. It smelled like decaying bodies and lavender. Her nose found it entertaining. “Look, Guardian, where are we going?” The siblings stopped walking. Camin Barice let her breathe out slowly….
I know you’ve been waiting with batted breath to find out what happens to Contessa and Cezon and who is the child anyway. Will your questions be answered? You’ll have to read to find out. For a recap, read: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 *** Cezon shook his head. “You sound like your mother.”…
My writing style has changed…again but I don’t mind. It’s not like I can do anything about it. Well, I can but my story would suffer. I’m really excited to see how this one turns out. Maybe a bit too excited. I need to keep telling myself just becasue I like the detail doesn’t mean…
To break with tradition I’m posting the second part of a short story I’m working on. You can read the first part here: Enjoy. I haven’t done much world building but it’s interesting how the details are just flowing. The characters’ names are set but their race’s name is not. SoulEater is completely unimaginative. I…
This is the first new short story I’ve written in years. I’ve been so focused on polishing my novels, I haven’t worked on any new projects. It’s still a work-in-progress. I don’t even know how it’ll end but I’m having a lot of fun with it! *** Because of the monsters, people no longer stood…
I went into this story with a simple idea. A boss gives a picture of a female to a witch who he kept imprisoned in his basement. The witch drops the picture in a steaming cauldron putting a spell on the women in the photo. The women is driven to put herself into life threatening…
This is the reason why I stay away from bookstores. I can’t help buying something. I went to B&N last week to kill some time and see if Naruto vol. 52 (manga) had been released yet (it hadn’t). I was browsing the new fantasy books when I came across The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy &…
Here’s an excerpt of a short story I wrote. Enjoy! Michael held the green piece of paper to the light then put it so close to his face it touched his nose. For awhile, the only sound was his bare feet padding across the wood floor. It didn’t seem he’d answer me anytime soon so…
The world showed signs of summer’s death. People walked past Mike Waters with their heads down against the wind. No more pleasant talk. No more social events. People only left their homes when they had to. Night’s tendrils touched the daylight hours and infected the warmth, making people want to pull out their souls and scrub…
