SIMaS Chapter 14 – Eris Lives

This entry is part 14 of 14 in the series So I Married a SupervillainThunderstruck appeared, well, thunderstruck as Amanda extended her hand to him in a friendly manner and said, “I’m one of Linda’s friends and thought I have some reservations of my own, I’d really like to know who she’s dating before I give her the official seal of approval.”

As if in a trance, he reached up and shook her hand, swallowing visibly. “Pleased to meet you.” He said quietly. “I hope you don’t mind if I don’t unmas...

Descendants #73 – Give Thanks Chp. 5

This entry is part 40 of 40 in the series CurrentThe place was only a few blocks from her family’s apartment, but Lisa had never set foot inside before. The scents that hit her nose as she opened one of the glass doors made her regret waiting so long.

A mostly head neon sign proclaimed the little restaurant to be Enzo’s Famous Pizza Pies, but numerous smaller signs had been plastered around the actual one announcing things like ‘hot dogs, chili dogs, corn-dogs’, ‘burgers made to order’, ‘steak...

Evil is Coming…

My friends, were gather here to mark the end of a grand adventure. Three years ago, I started writing a series called Rune Breaker and this weekend, the final chapter will come to a close.

It’s been a lot of fun, writing this tale of action and grand adventure in a world I’ve been building up in my mind for more than a decade. I love them, even Ru, the spiteful bastard, and I love the World of Ere. At the same time, I’m filled with a sense of relief.

Not that the story is over, but that I actua...

Liedecker Institute: Sophomore Year #2 – Rags to Rags Part 2

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Liedecker Institute Volume 4Through the glass doors, there was a marble floored rotunda with a bronze statue of a handsome older gentleman given a place of honor in the center. Upon a pedestal before him was a bronze tablet that featured the name ‘John Liedecker’ and several columns of smaller writing Zane wasn’t close enough to read. The only real furniture were two long, curved leather couches flanking the glass entrance, a few plaques on the walls, a...

Descendants #73 – Give Thanks Chp. 4

This entry is part 39 of 39 in the series CurrentThe Dornez Hotel had, over the past few years, ingrained itself in the histories of both The Descendants and descendants in general.

Much later, Laurel and Vincent Liedecker would broker a deal with hotel management to give generous discounts to students at the Liedecker Institute and thei...

5 Fanfiction Tropes I Adore

Well the fans, and recent events have spoken. It’s also just a plain good idea.

Last week , as part of the quick-and-dirty blogs I’m doing so as to have more time for NaNoWriMo , I touched on types of fanfics I can’t stand. I also asked for suggestions and a couple of emails pointed out that the obvious choice would be a companion piece talking about the types that I love. It also would give me a chance to (once again) discuss the merits of the the art form (and yes, fan fiction is an art form)...

The Spider’s Seven Annual #2 – The Execution Part 3

This entry is part 24 of 24 in the series The Spider's SevenTerrell didn’t flinch or even show surprise at Anansi’s arrival. His eyes merely narrowed for an instant before he glanced back at the refrigerator. “Where the hell have you been?”

The Spider’s face might as well have been cut out of stone for all the expression he showed. When he spoke, he spoke deliberately, each word selected with care. “Answer my question, Terrell.”

“No.” Terrell would have shouted f he hadn’t remember where he was...

Descendants #73 – Give Thanks Chp. 3

This entry is part 38 of 38 in the series CurrentWarrick didn’t know quite what to expect. Glasner’s Corner was a middle class neighbor hood, but that didn’t mean it didn’t have its share of palaces and dives along the edges.

Either one made sent to him. He imagined a single room cell with a bare floor and just two outlets: one for a hotplate and another for a charging station for an unregistered palmtop. Then again, he could also see a huge apartment either the penthouse or damn near with tha...
