    So Bored
    By
    Jake Bible

    We’ve been on this planet for eighty-three days now.

    I am so bored.

    Littleton has figured out how to recycle our urine so it is semi-palatable. Okay, it’s not even close to palatable, but at least its cold.

    Foster has confirmed that the tuber-like plants are not edible. He died about an hour ago.

    I set half our oxygen supply on fire accidentally. So, there’s that.

    Have I mentioned I’m bored?

    What the hell is Collier doing over there? Oh. Seriously?

    Soooooo booooored.

    I wonder if I can get Littleton and Collier to fight?

    Let’s find out.

  • Writing In Suburbia #8: Speculate This!

    On this week’s Writing In Suburbia, I go into the differences between writing on spec and writing on contract. I talk a little about the risks and rewards of each and why I have chosen one path over the other. Sort of.

    And I sneeze.

    Enjoy!

    Too Nice A Night
    By
    Jake Bible

    The sound of Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline drifts on the summer breeze as Carol ready’s the baseball bat. She hums along, her lips mouthing the “bom bom bom” part when it comes up.

    “Nice night,” she says, twisting her hands, feeling the slight perspiration. “Too nice a night for this unfortunate business.”

    A muffled cry and Carol narrows her eyes. Linda, gagged, wrists and ankles behind her, hanging from the bar across the swing set, stares in pure terror.

    “It was simple,” Carol says as she brings the bat back. “Approve the new landscaping.”

    The bat swings fast and hard.

    Cheers!

  • New Release! Reign Of Four: II is now available!

    Yes, another Reign Of Four novel is out in the digital wild!

    Print will be coming later this Fall for the entire series, but for those of you that like to get ahead of the game, feel free to grab the ebooks of RoF I and II at your leisure.

    RoFII

    Alexis the Second was not his father’s son.

    Instead of being a man of military might, he was a man from the wild lands of the Prime. Instead of being an accomplished warrior, he was an unapologetic hedonist, reveling in the finer tastes and pleasures of life. For many of the nobility, such a life would have been ideal, but for a Master of Station it was near suicide.
