    Reign of Four: III

    Alexis the Third, Mistress of Station Aelon and its Primes, was the first female monarch in all of System Helios’s history. She was a true Teirmont in temperament and passion, yet unique in ways no one expected. Despite the disdain, aggression, contempt and disgust of the male nobility for a female ruler, Alexis the Third proved to System Helios that gender was not what made a monarch.

    Her rule changed System Helios forever.

    Float Above
    By
    Jake Bible

    Missy sat there, her chin cupped in her hands, her eyes locked onto the man on stage. She couldn’t turn away, couldn’t even stop staring to pick up her drink (twelve dollars!) and have a sip. All she could do was watch his fingers and how they flew across the guitar strings.

    As the song ended, Missy sighed and eased back, relaxing into her plush chair. She watched the last of the musical notes float above her head. The man on stage said a few words of gratitude into the microphone, but Missy didn’t care. She wasn’t there for words.

    Cheers!

  • Hello!

    Here be Episode 10 of Writing In Suburbia. I talk a lot about how, as writers, we prepare for failure and rejection, but rarely do we prepare for success. You know, when things actually go right. That’s a lot harder to deal with than you think.

    I also enjoy a nice cup of warm coffee. Mmmmm, coffee…

    Cheers!

    Rebelliously Bored
    By
    Jake Bible

    Sentries lined the boulevard, their chrome plating shining brightly in the afternoon sun.

    Morgan frowned, rebelliously bored.

    “The High Officer should have been here by now?” Morgan said.

    “He’s only thirty minutes late,” Loughlin replied. “That’s early for him.”

    “We’re forced to attend these processions and the guy doesn’t show?” Morgan grumbled. “I got shit to do, man.”

    A few spectators shifted uncomfortably, moving away as Morgan uttered his unsanctioned, traitorous words.

    “Chill,” Loughlin hissed. “You want to be repurposed into a sentry?”

    Morgan stared at the line of metal guards. “At least I’d be lobotomized, instead of just bored.”

  • Welcome back to more of Writing In Suburbia!

    In this episode I talk about what bugs me about being a pro writer while totally owning up to how lucky I am to be doing what I do. It’s pure privileged whining, that’s for sure.

    And I rant about how neglected our public education system is. RANT!

    Enjoy!
