And here's today's installment! I hope you enjoy this little setup to the next bit of the plotline. Let me know what you think.
Also, thank you very much to those of you who have helped me get Electric Angel off to a good start on Audible and Kindle! My fingers are crossed, hoping it does well over there. It seems cyberpunk is a little harder to sell ...
2023-08-16 13:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! The day has come! Electric Angel is out today for Kindle, KU, and Audible. I hope some of you will give the Audible version a try - it's a very different experience than reading this story on Royal Road or Patreon. Even if you don't, I'd sure appreciate some reviews and ratings over on Amazon (assuming you read it ...
2023-08-15 10:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHere's today's installment! Hope you enjoy it - as I've said, I'm a few chapters ahead on my drafts, and I've had a lot of fun writing the last few. Cool stuff is coming your way :)

Victor ripped Lifedrinker from her harness and charged for the tunnel. As he surged through the darkened opening, he almost instinctually cast Ir...

Juliet’s new set of rooms turned out to be a slight upgrade to her old suite. They were closer to the central elevator leading to the dining and recreation levels and had a larger en-suite bathroom. More than the room upgrade, in exchange for signing an NDA, the c...

After the battle, Sarl began to order his cohort to collect samples from the various undead, loot them for valuables, and then gather them into mounds so the Pyromancers could reduce them to ash. When Victor heard him giving the command, he approached th...

A year ago, Juliet would probably have freaked out at the surprise of having a man waiting in her room. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on who you were, Juliet remained quite calm as she turned to her right and...

Victor began to regret leaving Lifedrinker to drink her fill almost immediately. The maul was a good weapon, probably crafted of something extremely rare or powerful, but it was nothing like his axe. Lifedrinker was alive in his hands; she ...
2023-08-10 14:46:54 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Thanks for your patience! Here's the next installment :)
As I've been writing this little arc, I keep thinking to myself that this might feel frustrating to a reader, but I know where it's going, and . . . well, I won't spoil things, but please bear with me a couple more chapters. Still, I'd love to hear your feedback!
Whew! I'm back! Thanks for your support and patience, everyone! The move was a success, and I'm sitting in my new place typing this out to you. The most harrowing part was getting my big dog from PR back to the States; airlines aren't as accommodating as they used to be, and there were a lot of moving parts. I had to meet her in Miami (the only place other than NJ I could ship her) ...
2023-08-08 10:26:26 +0000 UTC View PostAs the title says! I'm posting this today in case I have some connectivity trouble tomorrow :)
Thanks a million for your support, everyone.
See you soon!

2023-07-31 11:50:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Here's the next installment. I hope you're enjoying Juliet's time on the space cruise. :) This is the last chapter until next Tuesday, when I'll be back to posting normally (Victor of Tucson Tuesday, CD on Wednesday.)

Juliet quickly looked away. The startling realization that she’d been caught staring br...
2023-07-31 11:45:29 +0000 UTC View PostHere's today's delivery! Please keep in mind that this is the last VoT chapter until Tuesday the 8th. I'm in the midst of packing and something's up with the internet - I didn't get as much editing done as I like, so feel free to point out ugly sentences or mistakes.
Thanks everyone!

Good morning, everyone! Hope you enjoy. As always, please share your thoughts.
Reminder: I'll deliver a chapter on Monday, but then I'm off for a week as I move.
Thanks,

Victor didn’t sleep much the night before his “scouting mission,” as Valla had been describing it. The two of them sat together at his big dining table, drinking the last of their cold, bitter ale from Fainhallow. It was a relaxing time...
2023-07-27 11:56:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
I'm moving again. If you were with me last year around this time, you would have seen that I moved to live with family in Puerto Rico. I've loved it here for lots of reasons, but for other reasons (family), I need to relocate back to the States. I've been trying to get a bit ahead in my writing so you wouldn't see an interruption, but I feel like I'm being too optimistic - l...

The Sunset Star Runner was immense. Juliet had seen photos of it and even watched a promotional video showing the enormous disc-shaped vessel cruising through an asteroid belt, but when her boarding shuttle ferried her up toward the ship, she was surprised...

Borrius counseled Victor to halt the army a mile from the bottom of the pass in a particularly narrow portion where sheer rock walls climbed for thousands of feet on either side of the rough, rock-strewn roadway. They knew what was beh...

“So, you guys are heading out?” Juliet shifted on the plasteel crate, picking up a rag to wipe her forehead; she’d built up a sheen of sweat removing the casing and mounting bolts from the gunship’s main gun. Aya was pacing in a lit...

It took the army another two days to climb into the wide pass of the Granite Gates. As they climbed the foothills, Victor saw that the wide, gravel road followed a sort of natural cleft between t...

Dr. Ladia studied Juliet, drumming her nails lightly on her transparent tablet. She wore a lab coat that somehow looked like a designer outfit, and, as usual, her hair and makeup looked like she’d just stepped out of a salon. “So, I have to do the data port first?” 2023-07-19 07:37:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi everyone! Believe it or not, this will wrap up Book 5. Don't worry! Book 6 is coming in hot; Chapter 1 will be delivered on Thursday.
When Book 5 finishes up on RR, I'll be taking a 1-week break. I've decided it's easier to schedule my break on RR and Patreon at the same time; it just makes logistics for me a lot simpler.
Here's the first chapter in Book 4! I hope you're all still enjoying Juliet's adventures! :) This chapter is meant to kind of ease you into what Juliet's been up to and give a bit of a refresher on what she's got going on with cybernetics. I used to play some space sims, but it's been a while. If I say something stupid about controlling a ship in combat, please let me know . . . 2023-07-17 10:14:18 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm making this available to my patrons until the Kindle version releases.
Keep in mind this is the unedited PDF, and the Kindle and Audible versions will have quite a few (a thousand+) edits - nothing major, plot-wise, but definitely a cleaner read. :)
Enjoy the chapter! One of you guessed almost exactly what it's about. Pretty good, hehe.

Victor tried to explain the Naghelli to Valla. He found himself going back to when he and Thayla had found the skull containing part of Belikot’s spirit, and then, in frustration, he said, “I’m just going to have to explain all this again when the o...
