  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    And the Drabble Party is back! Had to take a week off last week due to family visit, but tonight you get your free 100 word fix!

    And that’s not all! After the drabble is Team Long Shot’s 48 Hour Film Project “Not Again”. We won Audience Award- Group A and also Best Editing. Huzzah! It was a blast and a HUGE thank you to all of our supporters!

    Enjoy!

    Fighting The Future Ignorance
    By
    Jake Bible

    Gagging, drowning, feeling the weight of the world as the jet of water streams up his nose, pounding his sinuses, choking his throat. He spins about and ducks his head, but is met with the end of a nightclub, nightstick, billyclub, baton, violence in a wicked grip.

    He doesn’t give up; none of them do. They fight on, moving forward, moving to truth, moving to reality that is only a few concrete steps away.

    The child, the children, cry out as the beatings continue; the water hoses continue; the mad dogs attack; they don’t stop.

    The library is so close.

    And now….

  • DEAD MECH and the Apex Trilogy

    Many of you may know, but many more may not, that Severed Press has picked up the entire Apex Trilogy!

    They will be re-releasing DEAD MECH, The Americans, and Metal and Ash this summer. The ebook for DEAD MECH should be up for sale by this weekend (July 5th), with the others following soon. The print books take a little longer due to formatting, printing, etc. But ebooks, yay!

    And I get to show you the new cover for DEAD MECH:

    DEADMECH9x6

    I posted it super big so you could see the coolness. Now, I am a HUGE fan of the original cover, but when switching to Severed we needed to make sure to differentiate between the two releases. That means if you have the original it is now a collectors’ item! Um, if there are collectors out that collect my stuff. Sure there are!

    How is this version different? Everything is the same except for some serious line edits and proofreading. Not that the first one was a jumbled mess of Esperanto, but the editing (while professional) wasn’t tight. This manuscript is tight. TIGHT! The same treatment will be given to The Americans and Metal and Ash.

    So be on the lookout for the announcement of the re-release of DEAD MECH! Spread the word, get a copy with the new cover, tell your friends, buy fifty paperbacks and chuck them at strangers while screaming, “Eat that, deader scum!”. Or something along those lines.

    I will keep you posted as it all progresses to glory! GLORY!

    Cheers!

    Enjoy!

    PERCY!

    Jake Bible

    “You’d think with his complete lack of empathy, Carlton wouldn’t be so torn up,” Mungle said as he watched his co-worker writhe on the floor in anguish. “It’s just a hedgehog.”

    “You shouldn’t have stepped on it,” Timmons responded. “It was his first pet.”

    “Get a hold of yourself, man!” Mungle shouted.

    “Percy! PERCY!” Carlton cried out, his hands trying to rip at his close-cropped, blonde hair.

    “Ok, I’ve watched enough,” Timmons sighed. “Hand me the RPG. I want to double check it before the plane lands.”

    “Will do,” Mungle said, shaking his head at Carlton’s antics at their feet.
