This room and everything in it are just temporary quantum copies.” The teacher snapped out, “You need to leave.” Touching his wrist, that teacher and three other students he’d already ruled out vanished. Along with them went most of the clutter. The walls became…

Would you commit cold blooded murder if you thought someone deserved it for power? Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Robert put the crosshairs right on the bastard’s head. Day after day, for a week, he’d practiced this shot at this range, but he’d never killed before, not even hunting. But Carter damn well deserved it, death, beyond a doubt. He’d made damn sure of that. As he let his…

This first post of the New Year is mostly for the other writers, as I am offering a new service to them. Showing verses telling, using passive voice instead of active voice, and info dumping are things many writers struggle with.

What if we met people that had truly honor bound leaders. “Stop right there,” the big-headed green creature said from across his desk, holding up his boney fingered hand. Its eyes narrowed down, and he pushed the proposal back across his desk before going on. “I’m sorry, but I don’t even have the power to grant this exclusive contract request, even if I thought it a good idea, and I don’t. Only…

CAUTION: This is not copy editing and you will need to have that done by someone who specializes in that if you don’t want to do that yourself. What you get from me is me reading it over and listening to it read to me aloud via a program. Your document must be in a .docx format, and I will be using Word suggest to point out some of the grammar errors to you, but mainly I will show you and make…

The first edition of A Fall of Ashes had a number of scenes cut from it and others watered down. This was a mistake I corrected in this second edition, as well as fixing a couple of weak points. But it does make the story even darker than that edition. The fantasy world that Ashes comes from is racist and sexist, where even good and evil have tones of both racism and sexism to them and what is…

Pulse thundering in her ears, Penny froze pulling open yet another door along the long, seemingly endless, hall. Unlike the past seven rooms she’d looked in, this room wasn’t empty. A dark-haired man stood staring at a huge, elaborate fish tank against the far wall. Trying to keep the panic out of her voice, she asked in a rush, “Who are you? Where are we? Am I dead?
