  • Friday Night Drabble Birthday Party!

    It’s a Friday Night Drabble Birthday Party!

    Not because it is the birthday of the Drabble Party, but because it’s my birthday! MINE!

    Which means y’all owe me a present. Here’s my list:

    1. Pick up Black Box Inc. right now in ebook or paperback.
    2. Leave a review for Black Box Inc. if you’ve already picked it up.
    3. Pick up Razer Edge (or any of the Roak books).
    4. Or leave a review for Razer Edge. It needs reviews!

    Okay, now that you’ve done all that, it’s time for my gift to you!

    Enjoy!

    A Car
    By
    Jake Bible

    Pure fear. That’s what Harold felt as he stared at the monstrosity in his garage.

    “Uh…thanks?” he said with a forced smile.

    “It’s a car,” Livia stated.

    “Yeah, I see that,” Harold replied. “Is it, uh, street legal?”

    “Well, no, obviously.”

    “Obviously.”

    Harold reached behind him, fumbling blindly for the doorknob. He gave it a twist. The clicking noise made Livia turn and her blood smeared face glowed eerily in the fluorescent lights.

    “Where ya going?” she asked.

    “Gotta pee,” Harold replied then fled, leaving Livia and the dripping, stinking, pile of meat she called a “car” far behind.

    One Wish
    By
    Jake Bible

    She blew out the candles and plunged the room into darkness.

    The singing had stopped and no one said a word. They waited in that darkness, breaths held, bodies shivering.

    “Where is it?” Charlotte hissed. “I made my wish. Where is it?”

    “Birthday magic is powerful magic,” Norris replied. “But it is also fallible. Hard to control. Hard to focus.”

    They waited some more then Charlotte snapped, “Light them again. I’ll try a new wish.”

    “You only get–.” Norris gasped and fell.

    “One wish is all you need,” the unearthly voice growled. “More than you will ever need, dear Charlotte.”

  • Happy Book Birthday To Black Box Inc.!

    Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Black Box Inc.! Happy birthday to you!

    That’s right, y’all, Black Box Inc. is officially in the wild. Check it out below then get to that clickety clacking and that bookity buying, yo.

    Cheers!

    Need to hide something from the fae?
    Got a tricky trans-dimensional delivery to make?
    Need a big ball of magic that can destroy the world?
    Call Black Box Inc.

    The world as we know it is gone. Since the “extradimensional happening,” every creature, monster, and fairy tale goblin has turned Asheville, North Carolina, into their personal playground. An uneasy truce exists between the races, but Chase Lawter’s unique ability puts him squarely in the crosshairs of treachery, feuds, and monsters looking to make a buck on black market goods. Chase is the only known being who can pull material from between dimensions and shape it into whatever he likes—like boxes. Like boxes in which folks hide smoking guns and severed heads. Only Chase can hide the boxes, and only Chase can recover them from the Dim. All for a tidy sum, of course.

    His crack team—a yeti, a zombie, and a fae-trained assassin—have his back. What could possibly go wrong?

    Dear God…
    By
    Jake Bible

     

    Dear God,

    First, let me say thank you for providing all those immoral, nubile, drug-addicted teenagers for me to slaughter. I appreciate the gesture.

    But that’s not why I’m writing. This is a lot of work to do alone. I was hoping maybe you could send a friend? Someone good with knives? It’s asking a lot, but you’re God, so…

    Thank you for listening, and thank you for the whole immortality thing. Comes in handy when I’m set on fire, stabbed, shot, blown up, and run over by various vehicles.

    Hope you and Jesus are doing well.

    Love,
    Jason
