Victor 6.42 - Relationships

Here we have today's chapter.

Happy to hear feedback :)

-Plum

After their meeting, when everyone had had their fill of talk and drink and things going forward were settled, Victor walked his command staff to the front door to say goodnight. On the way, as they passed by the short hallway leading to h...

Cyber Dreams 4.33 - Intelligence Hunt

Hey, have a great week :)

Love to read your comments/feedback!

-Plum

Juliet sat at one of the tables in the “mercantile district” of the pirate base. It was a shoddy, rough affair, with benches built from scrap hull plating. The table’s uneven legs gave it a wobble that made setting a drink dow...

Victor 6.41 - Post-Mortem

Here's a chapter for you!

Sorry if you're hating the new Patreon layout. I'm not really thrilled. Seems a lot of people are up in arms. Don't take it out on me - I had nothing to do with it! Every time they send out emails asking for feedback from creators, they consistently do the opposite of what I request. 🤣

Cyber Dreams 4.32 - Home of the Vengeance

Here's today's chapter! Hope it all makes sense - my descriptions, I mean.

Love to hear your feedback :)

The Junk Belt was a lot different in person than Juliet had imagined. True, it was filled with thousands of derelict, stripped ships, hundreds of thousands of pieces of destroyed vessels, an...

Victor 6.40 - A Need for Clarity

Thanks for your continued support, my dear Patrons! Can you believe we're already on chapter 40 of book 6?? Enjoy :)

The air in the spherical chamber was moist and warm, and Victor hated breathing it into his lungs. Nonetheless, he walked in and let his gaze drift over the rune-inscribed walls, floors, and ceiling....

Cyber Dreams 4.31 - Intimidation

Enjoy the chapter! Have a great day :)

“That’s right, she’s working on the drive. Should have it operational shortly.” Nick’s voice was calm, lethargic, even, and Juliet wondered if he’d self-medicated or something before getting on comms with the pirates. She hadn’t listened to the whole conversation, but as their ships grew near and the comm light...

As the chest took form, Victor looked around at the men and women who’d just joined his cause. “Perry, can you take some soldiers and secure the gate?”

“Aye, right away, Lord.” Perry cal...

Juliet gripped her acceleration couch with white knuckles as Nick flew circles around the second AI-driven interceptor, rapidly ripping it apart with the Sharp Lady’s front turret. The rotating, eighteen-millimeter autocann...

Victor 6.38 - Different Kinds of Freedom

Enjoy the chapter! Thanks for sticking with me - can you believe we're on chapter 38 of book 6? :)

-Plum

Victor patted Guapo’s shoulder as he approached the big curtain wall. He wasn’t trying to hide or sneak into the keep this second time. He’d killed anything in there that was a threat to him, and he was tired of skulking a...

Cyber Dreams 4.29 - Free Lunch

Okay, getting into things!

Reminder about upcoming revisions that aren't on Patreon:

1. Juliet and Nick wear pressurized helmets while flying.

2. I'm adding at least two prior mentions during the setup for this job that the daughter of Sir Rodric is believed to no longer be a free agent, ...

Here's your chapter! As always, please comment if you love/hate something. I might not always respond, but I read every comment!

Thanks :)

Victor floated in a dark, timeless void, his meandering thoughts the only clue to his continued existence. His physical presence was gone; his inner self, t...

Cyber Dreams 4.28 - Moods

Here's today's chapter! I enjoyed the speculation about who was coming through that door.  :)

Angel responded to the exploding door instantly, firing Juliet’s synapses into overdrive to the point where it seemed the flying particles of wood were drifting on a gentle breeze. Juliet, of course, was caught mid-recoil as h...

Victor 6.36 - The Voices in Our Minds

Here's your Sunday edition. Thanks for all the support :)

Valla stood atop the parapet and watched as the world burned. When Victor had come up with the idea to burn the trees, to start a fire that would hopefully kill the undead hordes hiding in that foggy forest, she’d tried to visualize what it would be like. ...

Cyber Dreams 4.27 - Auction

Enjoy the chapter and your weekend :)

Juliet stepped off the tram in front of the enormous hangar building that was built against the southern edge of Callisto’s main dome. The sidewalk outside was crowded with people standing around chatting, eating snacks from the food carts parked outside, and milling about, moving in an...

New Project - Anyone wanna read and give feedback??

Hey everyone! Before I get into the meat of this post, let me make one thing clear to (hopefully) allay any concerns that come up:

I have no intention to stop writing Victor of Tucson or Cyber Dreams anytime soon.

Whew, that's out of the way! :) Now, on to the subject at hand: I like to write, and though I'm busy with Cyber Dreams and Victor of Tucson chapters almos...

Victor 6.35 - Into the Darkness

Here we have a fresh Thursday delivery. Thanks for all the commentary and feedback :)

Victor roared with fury and dove toward the opening at the base of the throne, but it slid closed as he hurtled through the air. He smashed a shoulder into the huge stone seat, and he felt it give, but nearly imperceptibly so. Victor was jus...

Victor 6.34 - A Duel in the Depths

Enjoy the chapter, dear Patrons. Looking forward to your feedback. :)

Victor’s Quinametzin heart surged with fury at the wampyr’s words—a challenge and an insult. Did this ugly, gray monstrosity think it could stand before him so brazen? Did it believe itself a match for his fury? Victor glared around, Lifedr...

Victor of Tucson Announcement

Hey all! Victor of Tucson Book Three, Spirit Hunter, is available on Kindle and Audible as of today. If you're interested in a format other than web-based, please check it out. I think the Audible book is a great experience. Robb Moreira did a fantastic job, as usual!

Good morning, everyone. Enjoy the chapter :)

Happy Sunday. Enjoy the content :)

Victor carefully descended the inner courtyard steps, careful not to clomp or scuff his boots on the stones. Victoria’s obscuring mist had worked like a charm so far, clinging to the three of them, hiding them from the watchful eyes of Dunstan’s posted guards. Kethelket had flittered up ...

Cyber Dreams 4.24 - Larry Fine

A little twist in the plot here. Or at least a change in motivation. Enjoy :)

Larry let his golden fingers clink against the glass, tapping out a gentle tune, something that had been buzzing around in the back of his head all morning. Was he nervous? Probably. He’d never been to a place like this, a place for the...

As Victor and Guapo tore through the smoke-filled forest surrounding the keep, he truly began to appreciate how much his body had changed since he’d left Earth. It was one thing to say he was stronger or bigger or that he was sturdier and hea...

Despite the decisive nature of her action, when the Texan thundered, echoing off the big metal bay doors and plasteel walls, it almost surprised her. Frida was certainly surprised. The hot, deadly slug smashed into her chest, and she flopped onto her back, hi...

Ghost Chrysalis Cover - Not a chapter!

Hey everyone! Thought I'd share this with you all. I think the cover's pretty cool - gives me major Doom vibes, lol. Almost gives me some ideas for future arcs! Anyway, The artist got a little carried away with the "Bug Hunt" scenario depiction, but I loved it too much to have him dial things down.

Victor tried to focus on the strange, hooded intruder, but he had a fiery battle taking place in his gut and with his spirit. He grunted as he sat there, crunching down on the remains of the heart, smashing the meat between his teeth, and then swallowing it. The being who’d appeared before him took a step back...
