“I had to pull three straight all-nighters to get her ready,” Kim said to Lisa. “But with the salvaged motivators, I’ve got a scratch built unit of my very own for the Gunbuster Irregular Tourney!” Lisa followed her across the noisy repair bay floor, careful not to touch Kim or her service overalls that were...

WIP-it Wednesday: November 15th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! This week has been alternately exhilarating and frustrating. It’s been great to have my website done, and after its launch only a few minor things came to light (likely unnoticed by anyone but me) that were easy to fix. I... Continue Reading →

Flash Fiction Feature: Saurians and Six-Shooters
Rebel Roy leaned back before his steampowered prosthetic arm loosed a hiss, then threw a haymaker punch into the mouth of a snapping deinonychus. He shouted as the blow sent the dinosaur careening into one of its packmates. "They're ornery, Miss!" Molly unholstered the ray-gun from her frock, and the intrepid inventress took aim. "Get...

WIP-it Wednesday: November 8th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! As I mentioned last week, we had a heavy storm hit my neck of the woods where I live in Maine a few days before Halloween, which has now been dubbed posthumously as a ‘bomb cyclone’. We lost a dead... Continue Reading →
