  • Friday Night Drabble Party!

    Such a fine Friday for a Drabble Party, don’t you think?

    YES, YOU DO!

    But, before we get into the magical wonder of this week’s 100 words, how’s about I fill you in on a couple things?

    BLOOD CRUISE! Just look at that cover!

    Blood-cruise-ebook-coverBen Clow’s plans are set. Drop off kids, pick up girlfriend, head to the marina, and hop on best friend’s cruiser for a weekend of fun at sea. But Ben’s happy plans are about to be changed by a tentacled horror that lurks beneath the waves.

    International crime lords! Deep cover black ops agents! A ravenous, bloodsucking monster! A storm of evil and danger conspire to turn Ben Clow’s vacation from a fun ocean getaway into a nightmare of a Blood Cruise!

     

     

    Nothing says Happy Holidays like a bloodsucking tentacled monster!

    The last thing I want to talk about is Writers Coffeehouse. This will be a monthly meeting of Asheville/WNC area writers hosted by myself and co-hosted by Nathan Ballingrud, Jamie Mason, and Beth Revis. The fine folks at Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe are giving us the space to meet with as many local writers as want to come. It’s a chance for writers to talk about the biz and network in a relaxed, no pressure setting. It’s all about writers helping writers. If you are interested then clickety click and check out the FB group. It’s gonna be a blast!

    Now, on to the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    Wasn’t Warm Enough
    By
    Jake Bible

    The blanket wasn’t warm enough. The blanket was too warm.

    Marigold shivered in the corner of the hut, her body burning with fever, her eyes glassy and dazed. She tried to focus on the world around her, but the best she could do was stare at the limp foot of her little sister. A limp foot that hadn’t moved in hours.

    Not true. It hadn’t moved in days. The smell had even started to penetrate her clogged and oozing sinuses.

    Marigold shivered in the corner and pulled the blanket tight around her. She was too warm. She wasn’t warm enough.

    Cheers!

  • Writing In Suburbia #20: To Brand Or Not To Brand

    In this week’s episode I chat a bit about branding. I go into the whys and whynots. I talk about the BS that is spewed, and it being me, I spew some of my own BS. It’s more informative than it sounds. Trust me.

    Also, Christmas music!

    Enjoy!

    Metal_and_Ash_Audiobook

    What began in the wasteland of Dead Mech, and continued alongside Europe and Asia in The Americans, now has its epic conclusion in Metal and Ash.

    Commander James Capreze and his team of mech pilots must no longer battle just zombies, cannibals, religious cults, and the ever-dreaded dead mechs. Now, they will be put to the test by the forces of the Three, as the evil alliance bent on dominating every inch of the world attacks from two fronts, forcing Capreze to split his forces and make alliances with those he had been sworn to defeat. The wasteland becomes the setting for an epic fight for basic human survival like it hasn’t seen in hundreds of years.

    Will 50-foot battle mechs be enough against hundreds of thousands of techno-zombies ready to wipe everything living off the scorched map that is the wasteland? Join Capreze, his mech pilots, the refugee Americans, end every denizen of the wasteland as they make one final stand to keep the Three from bringing humanity’s downfall. Alliances are formed and broken, mech pilots are made and murdered, secrets are revealed and agendas destroyed, and thousands of bodies fall and rise again in the Apex trilogy finale: Metal and Ash.

  • New Release! Dead Team Alpha 2: The Stronghold!

    This sequel to Dead Team Alpha picks up where the last novel left off. And, AND, it has a very special character in it that should have my Z-Burbia fans going cuckoo for cocoa puffs!

    So get to the clicking and buy yourself an early Holiday present! DO IT NOW!

    The Stronghold.
    A fortified survivor pocket tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the former Boulder, Colorado. A culture based on military training and strength, the Stronghold is now the last bastion for the living. For nearly a century the Stronghold has thrived, rebuilding a small slice of civilization in the midst of a zombie infested wasteland.
    But that is all about to change.
    The pride of the Stronghold, Dead Team Alpha, the elite strike force that helps keep not just the Zs, but crazies, cannibals, and cults from overrunning the walled sanctuary, is being put to the ultimate test- banding together with one of the community’s most deadly enemies in order for all of humanity to survive.
    Why would DTA need to put its trust in a crazy cult that almost killed them all? Because the Z herds are not lessening, they are getting bigger and stronger!
    It is a race against time, as DTA struggles to defend the Stronghold from the millions of undead that march towards them, hungry for the last bits of living flesh left in a land that is nothing but death for as far as the eyes can see!
