  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Let’s all say hello to another Friday!

    “Hello, another Friday!”

    Hey, before we dive into the 100 words, how about you take a look at something brand spanking new! (Not sure why we say “spanking” new. Weird…)

    It’s Agent Prime!

    Denman Sno is Agent Prime!

    The best of the Fleet Intelligence Service’s elite Special Service Division, Denman Sno will need to use all of his skills and resources to stop the galaxy from plunging into another War with the alien menace known as the Skrang Alliance.

    Sno’s assignment: protect and deliver Pol Hammon, the galaxy’s greatest dark tech hacker, to Galactic Fleet headquarters.

    Hammon is in possession of new technology that can and will change the landscape of galactic life. The Galactic Fleet will do anything to keep that technology out of the hands of the Skrang Alliance even it it means sacrificing their best agent.

    Even if it means sacrificing Agent Prime!

    Murder. Espionage. Romance. Treachery. Greed.

    Agent Prime is prepared for it all!

    Curlycues
    By
    Jake Bible

    The spokes of the bicycle wheel were swirling curlycues of blood; completely mesmerizing.

    Bobby turned his head and looked at the bike. He’d built it from parts with his own hands. No help from his father, no help from his friends. Piece by piece, he’d bolted that bike together.

    He was enraged that it would turn on him like it had.

    Picking himself up, Bobby limped to the bike, pulled his .45, and shot it. It had betrayed him, but he wasn’t going to let it suffer. He wasn’t cruel like his father.

    “Time for a new bike,” Bobby said.

    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!

  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Welcome back, y’all!

    How do these Fridays keep happening? Where do they all come from? It’s like every week there’s another Friday. Crazy.

    HEY! Sorry, didn’t mean to yell, but HEY!

    Have you read Galactic Vice? If you have then please do me a favor and leave a review. It can be one or two words even. Here are some suggestions: “AMAZING!”, “GROUNDBREAKING!”, “ORGASMIC!”

    Okay, maybe not that last one…

    Anyhoo, reviews are how authors stay alive these days. If you forget to review your favorite author then they shrivel up like shrinky dinks and become husks of their former selves. And as much fun as that would be to watch, just like watching shrinky dinks in the oven, most authors don’t enjoy shriveling. Something to do with the thymus gland or whatever.

    REVIEW GALACTIC VICE!

    Now, on with the drabble!

    The Image
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Can we cry alone and be our better selves?” Missy asked, her eyes locked onto the image before her. “Can we be solitary creatures and improve upon our basic beings?”

    “Uh…” Craig mumbled, unsure of where she was going with all that.

    “I mean, look at this,” Missy continued, nodding at the image. “It’s excruciating. The inner turmoil I feel demands that I be alone.”

    “I’m not seeing…” Craig began, but gave up. The image wouldn’t let him finish.

    “Maybe we should break up?” Missy suggested.

    “I can’t… I won’t…” Craig stuttered.

    The image watched them, mocked them, ruled them.

  • New Release: Galactic Vice!

    I am pleased to announce: Galactic Vice!

    This is my first true police procedural, so if you love those cops getting the bad guys, cops being the bad guys, cops just trying to do a hard job and stay alive kind of novels then this puppy is for you! And if you have friends and family that love cop thrillers then please share!

    Huzzah!

    Corruption. Greed. Lust.
    Sins undercover Galactic Vice Detective Etch Knowles faces every day.

    Politicians on the take. Underground gambling. Sex trafficking.
    Another day at the office for Galactic Vice Lieutenant Angie McDade.

    Shaking down hustlers. Offering “protection” to bar owners. Cheating at tile games.
    Galactic Vice Detective Kalaka doesn’t exactly play by the rules.

    A cargo barge filled with corpses. A potential war between crime syndicates. Traitors within the Galactic Vice.
    These are the nightmares the three must face. Using all of their resources and experience they will fight to keep each other alive even it means bending rules, busting heads, and breaking laws.

    But tossing regulations to the side and going rogue may not save them from an investigation that has doom and downfall written all over it.

    Can they solve the case before it becomes their last? Or will the operation fail and end up ripping their lives and Jafla Base apart…
