This is another long short story (about 20000 words). It’s also a return to Sci-Fi, which is no great surprise as that is mainly what I write. But that’s enough from me. Take a look and see what you think of Scrap And Bone. “Just how long is it ‘til we get to this HelenContinue reading “Scrap And Bone”

Celestial Annihilation
Wednesday story day. Hi everyone! Back again with another short story. Though this is less a story and more the unfolding of an event. It’s a shorter story (about 4100 words) but I think it turned out well. It’s something I wanted to do for a while, but it took me a bit to workContinue reading “Celestial Annihilation”
Ill-Gotten Gains
Here it is everyone, my newest short story. It’s a little under 11000 words. Enjoy! Karim has already stepped off the sky shuttle, which is what passes for a taxi on Orion IV, that has ferried him from the planets main port, Marrec Port, where his starship, Eternal Veil, is docked. He is headed forContinue reading “Ill-Gotten Gains”
Gunslinger
Wednesday! Story day! Well I dropped the blurb yesterday, so not much to say about the story itself other than it was inspired by The Mandalorian, seeing as I re-watched it recently. Other than that this is a shorter story (about 9100 words) and I really enjoyed writing it. Hope you like it! Karas isContinue reading “Gunslinger”
Blurb: Gunslinger
OK, so this is the blurb for the new story. It’ll be coming tomorrow. That’s all folks! Karas is a gun for hire that does bounty hunting work on the side.He’s refered to as the ‘slinger because of his quick draw and lethal efficiency.He says little, but his actions more than make up for hisContinue reading “Blurb: Gunslinger”
Locust
The day has come. This is Locust. It’s a shorter story than those I’ve done recently (about 10,000 words). Let’s get to it. N’yur is crouched low behind a barricade that cuts one of the last main avenues of what remains of the Praetor capital of Aesur off. Ahead of him there is only destruction.Continue reading “Locust”
Blurb: Locust
This is going to be the next story (which will as normal be posted tomorrow). Not sure this should be called a blurb or a premise, but either way here is the reveal of Locust! A sentient race known as the Praetor are at war against an unknown alien species. The Praetor are losing againstContinue reading “Blurb: Locust”
Infection
The day has come for the release of Infection! It’s another long one (at 21700 words) and it’s a zombie apocalypse story. Hope you like it! It’s a little over two years since the world ended. Billions died in the wake of an infection that spread like wildfire. The only problem is that the deadContinue reading “Infection”
Blurb: Infection
I’m back with another blurb. This is just a tease for the full story that’ll be posted tomorrow. The world has ended. Billions died in the wake of an infection that spread across the globe. But the infected didn’t stay dead. Which is why they now walk the Earth. Small pockets of humanity are allContinue reading “Blurb: Infection”
What Remains – Original Opening
Hi everyone! Here is a little bonus post now that What Remains is out. This is the original opening that I wrote for the story. But I didn’t like it, so went back and changed it quite considerably, I think. The changes were made to make it flow better and simply because I didn’t likeContinue reading “What Remains – Original Opening”
