For a couple of seconds that felt like an eternity, Kira tumbled headfirst down into darkness. Then her instincts kicked in and she shoved her hands out to either side. Her palms slammed int...
2026-01-03 21:35:00 +0000 UTC View PostJace found he was enjoying the party in spite of himself. He truly hadn't expected to. Parties, finery, and fancy drinks were alright for other people, he supposed. But, on the whole, he'd r...
2026-01-02 23:09:26 +0000 UTC View PostKira cut through the water with grace and ease. It was a wonderful feeling, this sense of immersion and free movement, and at the same time an incredibly odd sensation. She couldn’t rememb...
2026-01-02 21:31:04 +0000 UTC View PostTwo dusty white hover-cars pulled into the long driveway which led to the Government Center. That wasn't strange; there had been plenty of vehicles arriving over the past day or so. Some wer...
2026-01-02 00:35:20 +0000 UTC View PostTristan enjoyed the thought of Kira spending time in the pool as he rode the elevator back down to the tenth floor, where the main security office waited for him. She was a remarkable person...
2026-01-02 00:34:15 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year, everyone!!! :) -Kevin
Kira followed Jace toward the main entrance. It was elaborate, long panels of glass framing the entire thing for twenty feet on...
2026-01-01 02:44:34 +0000 UTC View PostKira rode shotgun all the way into the city, while Jace relaxed in the comfort of the passenger compartment. Jace had tried to convince her to join him, but she wanted to be where she could ...
2025-12-31 01:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe elevator dinged, bringing Tristan’s attention back to the present. He’d been distracted all week, his mind overloaded with all the security preparations for this event. Most of the t...
2025-12-30 22:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostKira was up with the dawn, the next morning. Even though she and Jace had a long trip to take, the farm chores wouldn’t do themselves. The Haven teens were also up and helping, but running...
2025-12-30 22:29:28 +0000 UTC View PostKira froze. If she moved even a muscle, she’d alert her prey, and that would be the end of this whole thing. She held herself perfectly still and just waited. A few more moments, that’s all she...
2025-12-29 23:14:50 +0000 UTC View PostWhat follows are SPOILERS! :) The book we're going to be doing next here, as a brief break from Castle's story, is the second in a fun space-western style SF series, so this post is to get you cau...
2025-12-29 23:10:34 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn’t that simple, of course. First we had to care for all the former werewolves. Most of them were wounded, but thanks to how many of us had Heal spells now, that was the simplest of ...
2025-12-29 16:45:48 +0000 UTC View PostI dearly hoped I’d made the right call. My gut said I was on the right side here, that I had done the right thing. There was no way to know for sure, of course. If Cerberus didn’t show u...
2025-12-29 02:13:40 +0000 UTC View PostMaggie stood her ground as the werewolves rushed her position. She’d organized the defenders, gotten them working together again instead of fighting as individuals. So far, it had been eno...
2025-12-28 02:50:08 +0000 UTC View PostChapters might be a little oddly timed, this week. I'm off to visit family tomorrow and driving all day, so I probably will not be able to get one out to you tomorrow, although I'll try...
2025-12-23 02:23:06 +0000 UTC View PostCerberus lunged at me, claws extended and teeth bared. I sidestepped using Celerity, moving faster than his eyes could track. My fist caught him in the ribs as he passed, driving the air fro...
2025-12-20 00:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take us long to find Alex’s people.
They’d set two blocks of north Cambridge on fire. How, I didn’t know, but Alex had a few people who could cast Lightning or Fire a...
2025-12-19 01:06:35 +0000 UTC View PostAlex panted as he blasted another werewolf away with his Lightning. He was nearly out of mana. He had enough for a couple more bolts, but then he’d be totally drained. He knew from experie...
2025-12-18 01:54:12 +0000 UTC View PostI landed in front of the four fleeing werewolves. “Hey, guys. You going somewhere?”
They came to a sudden stop, two of them braking so hard their claws dug furrows into the soil. A...
2025-12-18 01:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostI punched away another over-enthusiastic dragonet, but there were at least a couple dozen of them still coming at us, and I was low enough on mana that I wanted to save most of what I had le...
2025-12-15 22:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostI turned as Maggie spoke. Something about her voice sounded off, and I wanted to make sure she was okay before pushing on. What I hadn’t expected was to watch her collapse in front of me! ...
2025-12-12 21:25:11 +0000 UTC View PostOK, so this isn't something I do too often, but since I obviously fell asleep while editing my dictation yesterday, I wanted to take the time to do a deeper revision of this chapter for...
2025-12-12 21:24:24 +0000 UTC View PostAlex's army marched north through the darkened city streets, their footsteps echoing off abandoned buildings. They had over sixty fighters, most of them armored in riot gear or improvised pl...
2025-12-11 21:53:44 +0000 UTC View PostMaggie sighed as Cameron led the way out the only exit from the rat room. She’d figured the gas mask would keep the sound from being too audible, but apparently she was wrong.
“You...
2025-12-11 02:12:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe tentacles dragged me deeper into the dark water. I thrashed, trying to break free, but for all my Strength, without anything to push against, I had no leverage. If I hadn’t still had W...
2025-12-09 22:45:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe green light faded, and we emerged into a scene that was entirely different from what I'd expected.
Last time, the dungeon had been a cavern, with rough natural stone walls...
2025-12-09 01:59:38 +0000 UTC View PostAlex flew through the night sky alone, rage clouding his vision as he rocketed home, following the river. He'd left his squad to march back from Harvard on foot. They'd link up with him soon...
2025-12-05 22:26:11 +0000 UTC View PostI needed a plan, and quickly. We were supposed to be speed-running this dungeon. Every minute that went by increased the odds that either Maggie or myself would transform, not to mention all...
2025-12-05 22:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostMy declaration hung in the air. For a long moment, no one spoke. If I’d been expecting folks to cheer me on, this was the wrong crowd for it. That was fine. I knew what needed doing. It wa...
2025-12-04 02:02:31 +0000 UTC View PostI flew in like a rocket, hands outstretched. One grabbed Cerberus by the scruff of his neck while the other reached around and hooked under his jaw, my fingers digging into the soft tissue b...
