#SaturdayScenes: Virtual Identity, Part 5

Agent Rodrigo Ochoa stood next to Cynthia, on edge, doing his best to ignore her nudging—her veiled ridicule—knowing she could use it to mask her prodding. He had to keep it together, no matter how he felt about Sandra and how they were treating her. “You like her, then,” Cynthia said. Ochoa mulled that over […]

Getting Tracking Jane, Episode 7 Ready for Beta Readers…

With Virtual Identity all set to come out on February 18, I have turned my attention to Wounded Honor, episode 7 of the Tracking Jane series. I am currently in the middle of a furious pass through the latest draft before I hand it over to my Beta readers… next Monday! I better get to […]

Review: The Somniscient, by Richard Levesque

I picked up The Somniscient, by Richard Levesque, looking forward to an interesting read. After enjoying his prior work in Strictly Analog, this story’s blurb promised more of the same fun insight. In general I wasn’t wrong. I will note at the outset that in places, the story lagged a bit. Starting with a tad […]

#SaturdayScenes: Virtual Identity, Part 4

Sandra eyed the coffee mug before reaching for the bag. Shaking, she dumped its contents on the table. She would’ve said something about not recognizing them as her clothes, but Cynth slid a key across the table. “You will need this.” Sandra frowned. “Oh, right.” She grabbed the key. Still shaking, it took her a […]

When Does a Book Series End? When Should It?

The Trinity alongside three strikes, you’re out, three outs to an inning, three outfielders, and three bases before you can come home. But so far, neither […]

#SaturdayScenes: Virtual Identity, Part 3

“IT SHOULDN’T TAKE LONG NOW,” Cynthia said to Agent Rodrigo Ochoa. She tapped on the large flat panel display. It showed a split view: on the left a close up of Sandra Tomek’s trembling lips and facial features, and on the right a wide angle view of the interrogation room. Ochoa stood there, arms folded […]

How a Novel that Turned Into a Short Story Became a Novel Again

A while back I wrote about how a story I started as a novel turned into a short story. Well, time has passed and inspiration has struck… When I first conceived King’s Sacrifice, I envisioned it as a full length novel. In writing it, I decided it worked best as a short story, and released […]

#SaturdayScenes: Virtual Identity, Part 2

Though long gone, the zip ties still dug into her wrists. No matter how much Sandra rubbed at the pink bruises, she felt the hard plastic cutting off her circulation. No longer asleep, her hands still tingled from the onrush of blood. And she was shivering. The air conditioning in the interrogation room had to […]
