Six Sentence Sunday – 3/28

Since I’ve been talking about posting up six sentences from the book I currently have in edits for the past couple of Sundays and not done it, I thought today I would. So…six sentences from the first chapter of Midnight’s Ghost. Enjoy!


I heard the hiss and pop of a blaster and looked up in time to see the vivid streak of blue light fly past me before it exploded into Dalen’s chest. Blood, guts and other things I didn’t want to think about flew through the air and the crowd who had gathered around to watch the fight scattered.

Wiping the purple blood from my face, I turned to see who was responsible for the killing shot. As the tallest of the remaining group of onlookers, he was the easiest to find. He shot a casual smile in my direction as he flipped his shirt over the illegal weapon he was sliding into the waistband of his pants. My brain blared a warning and my feet started moving before I was even aware of it.


For those new to this, the rules are simple:

1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy
2) pick six sentences
3) post ‘em on Sunday

Blood Fever – Rebirth #2

Sometimes, as most writers will tell you, the first manuscript you write never gets to see the light of day. To be honest, my very first few attempts at full-length novels are buried on my hard drive and there they shall stay. They are totally incomplete and are filled with just about every cliche in the book – haha. But that’s okay, I’m smart enough to realize not everything I write is worthy of publication. I wrote for years without any intention of ever publishing, so believe me, there are plenty of that type of stuff on my computers hard drive just hanging out. They have little parties occasionally, but I’ve gotten really good at ignoring them. ;)

However, there are times when writers get to defy their own expectations. In May 2008, I asked myself a question. A simple one really and I bet I wasn’t the first to ask it. I don’t know what anyone else said, but my answer set me on a path. One five years ago, I would have told you didn’t exist.

Two years worth of blood, sweat, cursing, tears, revisions, chops, cuts and countless other things – I am happy to announce that the very first manuscript I ever completed fully will get to see the light of day after all.

I am very pleased to announce Book #2 in the Rebirth series, Blood Fever, will be published by Liquid Silver Books later this year.
