  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Oh, you have come back! I thought I’d never see you again!

    Hmmm…what’s that? How can I see you now?

    …

    Well, I can’t, of course. That’d be silly… Ignore the blinking red light. Nothing to see there.

    SO! How about some drabble stuff? 100 words of micro-fiction to distract you from the blinking red light? Not that there is a blinking red light. YOU SEE NOTHING!

    Anyhoo…buy Galactic Vice on audiobook. Or buy Agent Prime on Kindle or paperback. Your choice. HELL, WHY CHOOSE? Pick ’em both. You’ll thank me.

    Here are some handy pics you can click on. Do it. DOOOOO EEEEEEET!

    Oh, and if you want the Friday Night Drabble Party delivered to your inbox at lunch time, instead of at night, then subscribe to my weekly newsletter! DO EEEEEET!

    Now, on with the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Dreadfully Terrifying Occurrence
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Bumbletubs!”

    No response. Not even a “Don’t bother with me, M’Lord! Save yourself!” Rather inconsiderate. Completely unacceptable.

    “Well, Bumbletubs,” the prince muttered. “If you are going to hide after such a tragedy has befallen me then I shall think not of you again. You are banished from my mind, Bumbletubs. Banished!”

    “M’lord? Who are you speaking to?”

    “Bumbletubs!”

    “Yes, M’Lord?”

    “I thought you’d died when my pudding exploded!”

    “Exploded, M’Lord? It appears you only spilled it.”

    “Ah, yes… It appears so. Dreadfully terrifying occurrence. Did not like it. Make sure it never happens again.”

    “I will do my best, M’Lord.”

    Cheers!

    Never Be Forgotten
    By
    Jake Bible

    No one could have seen it coming. No one.

    Even the megacorporations had no idea it was the end. They were oblivious to the crisis right on the horizon. Always busy with current Profit & Loss statements, never thinking of the future or the consequences of their actions.

    When the stores began to run out, people brushed it off. No one even considered it a possibility. The end? Never. Can’t happen.

    But it did happen. And when it was finally all gone, civilization collapsed. Mayhem. Murder. Misery.

    The day the last carton of ice cream was sold will never be forgotten.

  • New Audiobook!

    Galactic Vice is now out in audiobook! Go get ya some!

    It all starts with an interstellar cargo barge full of corpses…

    The criminal scum of the galaxy have found a new playground and its name is Jafla Base. Now Galactic Vice Detective Etch Knowles has to infiltrate that playground before the criminal syndicates end up in all-out war.

    Corruption on every level of government, brutal violence around every corner, alien races that consider humans the lowest of low, and a laser blaster always pointed at his back, Knowles needs Galactic Vice Lieutenant Angie McDade and Galactic Vice Detective Kalaka to back him up. Their job is to keep Knowles from getting his head blown off or die trying.

    But there are forces at work that want nothing more than for Jafla Base to burn. And some of those forces may be coming from within the Jafla Base Vice Squad itself!

    Action, intrigue, corruption, lust, and greed fuel the never ending thrill ride that is Galactic Vice!

     

    Murder. Espionage. Romance. Treachery. Greed.

    Agent Prime is prepared for it all!

    Impossible Body
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Of all the specimens I’ve collected, this one is my favorite,” Mr. Rege stated as he gestured towards the display case. “As you can see, it is perfectly preserved. Until this find, only partial examples were ever found.”

    Morgan stared at the multi-limbed…thing. It was suspended in the display case by thick wires, its impossible body hung for all to see.

    Then it twitched.

    “Uh…Mr. Rege?” Morgan said, tapping him on the shoulder as the man continued to address the other guests. “It moved.”

    “Nonsense,” Mr. Rege said as the display case shattered into a thousand pieces.

  • Writing In Suburbia #60: The One Where I Interview Myself! And Fail Hard…

    Welcome back, y’all!

    It’s time for episode #60! Woo hoo!

    In this episode, I attempt to interview myself. No, seriously. It’s all part of a new segment I’ll be including in Writing In Suburbia twice a month. I’ll be interviewing writers and asking them two questions: Why do you write? and, What was, or still is, the hardest part about being a writer?

    I’ve already got some great interviews recorded.

    But I thought it would be fun to break y’all in with an interview of myself. Fun? Sure. Funny? Yeah, I crack myself up.

    So, have a listen and enjoy!

    Cheers!
