How could anyone refuse a little 69?
From Void Window, p. 69:
“That’s okay. Remember what Bob used to say. ‘We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.’ Why don’t you add a little more paint and turn that smudge into a branch? You can never have enough of those on a tree.”

Hop in and grab a copy of Life After Dusk while they're cheap! It's a short read but packed with thrills, danger, and uncertain hope. Hurry up before the sale ends! (Or buy it anyway, that's cool too)

It’s that time again 😇 🎁
Nico was shivering, but not because he was cold; when Emmy came closer, she saw that he was tensing every muscle in his body, eager to resume his rampage.
“B-b-b-b-bad to the b-b-b-b-bone,” he muttered through gritted teeth. “Gotta have more. Gonna get delirious. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shit!”

The rational part of her insisted that keeping Nico around was too risky, seal or no seal, and that she ought to put him down, for his own sake as much as her own. If he flew off the handle, if the seal were to break, unleashing that storm once again, she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to stop him.

On page 99, we find our protagonist about to depart on the most important, and perilous, journey of her life. Her companions: the one she loves, the one she needs, and the one she hates.

At home on the couch, on public transport, on a picnic blanket in the park. As long as I can be relatively undisturbed, I'm game anywhere.
Time for your Friday #WritingQ! This week, we're focusing on readers: Where and how do you like to read? Do you read at home in your bed, snuggled up with a paperback? At work listening to audiobooks? Tell us your reading habits!

My stories are all over the place. Memory Hole is set in the real world around 2017, Life After Dusk is set in what may be the distant future of Earth, and so is my WIP, tentatively titled The Well in the Isle.
