  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    It’s time for some more Drabble Party fun, y’all! Gotta say that I look forward to this shindig each and every week. Y’all hear me?

    Yeah, ya do.

    Hey, you know what’s cool? Seeing Fighting Iron break the top 1000 on Amazon! Yeah, baby, that is some super cool shit right there. Not familiar with Fighting Iron? Then click the pic and get to learning, pardners! Amazon calls it a Cyberpunk novel, but I call it a far-future mech western. Read the reviews and see what others are saying.

    Enjoy!

    Tsunami
    By
    Jake Bible

    The pavement was covered with them, their tiny legs and segmented bodies moving like an entomological tsunami, ready to sweep over the man and woman that ran with every ounce of energy they had.

    The sun beat down, reflecting off the scorched parking lot, nearly blinding the fleeing couple, the heat rising in waves hot enough to steal their breath.

    They had one chance. One chance. Make a break for it and hope the RV would still start. But it didn’t look like they’d ever find out.

    The tsunami broke and the couple screamed, death by mandibles their unfortunate fate.

  • Writing In Suburbia #28: For Shame! FOR SHAME!

    Welcome back to more Writing In Suburbia!

    In this week’s episode I chat about the negative in-fighting within the writing community. Genre versus genre, author versus author, literary versus the world, traditionally published versus self-published!

    It’s a good episode, yo!

    Enjoy!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Why, yes, it is Friday and, yes, there is another Drabble, and, yes, we shall have a Party!

    But, while you are reading this, I will be at a different sort of party. My son turns 17 today. Crazy, man, just crazy. So lift a glass and eat all the cake in celebration of the parenting ability in this household to keep a child alive for 17 years when we sure as hell can’t even keep a fern alive. It’s a miracle!

    Oh, and hey, guess what? Audible is running a BOGO with Z-Burbia! What’s a BOGO? It means Buy One Get One free. BOGO. This deal is only for members, so you should probably sign up for an Audible account. I listen to audiobooks everyday. It’s so worth it. Have a click and get yourself some Jake Bible Audiobooks!

    Oh, and Salvage Merc One is $.99 on Amazon! If you haven’t picked it up, now is the time!

    Now, on to the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Pointy
    By
    Jake Bible

    Killing the beast was not an easy task. Lord Helmgnot realized this as he slid down the rock face before coming to rest in the scorched earth.

    “Esthermane,” he whispered. He had lost his steed when the beast first came out of the cave, a monster made of nothing but pointy, gnashing teeth.

    Lord Helmgnot winced as he tried to get comfortable against the rock. But it was not to be as he shifted and half his intestines spilled from under his doublet.

    “But it was only a rabbit,” he muttered as his life slowly left him. “A stupid rabbit…”

  • Writing In Suburbia #27: You Only Fail If You Quit

    Howdy!

    This week I answer a whole bunch of questions from a listener which ultimately leads to my thoughts on failure as a writer. I also rant about public education and how teachers get the shaft because I can’t help myself. Oh, and this week the coffee is warm! WARM!

    Enjoy!

    A Broken Wheel
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    The desk chair had a broken wheel. Three perfectly good ones, but one that refused to do its job and get Vivian from one side of her office to the other.

    She was going to be pissed if she died because of a broken wheel.

    Vivian strained against the duct tape, but it was duct tape. She pushed her feet down to keep the broken wheel elevated. If she could get to her desk phone then she had a chance.

    The office door opened behind her and her chance slipped away. Just like that. All because of a broken wheel.

    Cheers!
