Tommy
The driveway burned.
Even in the shade of the broad eucalyptus trees that his foster father so lovingly doted on, the incessant heat of the sun turned the concrete into a searing hot pan you could cook an egg on.
Tommy hopped from foot to foot, kicking himself for forgetting to don ...
We had an extended power outage last night that had me a little worried about my chances of getting this out today, but they got it all fixed by morning, so we're still on schedule.

Ana
“Is this a dream?” Ana salivated, hovering over the glistening, perfectly crusted medium rare slab of beef tenderloin. “It’s just… been so long.”
“Yeah, the fabbed stuff just doesn’t cut it, huh?” Banta quipped. Her steak had arrived before Ana’s, and a second was already on the way; she’d...
We're officially back on schedule after a topsy-turvy couple of weeks. This one was a blast to write- we're fast approaching what I would consider to be the end of book one, and I'm really excited for what comes next for the series.

Ana sure is having an eventful day. We'll be back to Tommy soon enough, I promise.
This one was a blast to write. We're finally about to get into the juicy parts of the story that I've been sitting on for so long while we build up to them.
As usual, huge thanks to all of my patrons, I appreciate every one of you.

Thanks for your patience everyone, I've been swamped at uni for the past week.

My latest university assignment is a long-form fiction, and it's taking up a large chunk of my writing brain. It would be nice if I could submit this one, but apparently that would still be plagiarising, even though I wrote it. Sigh.
Next chapter out Thursday (US time).
Please Enjoy.

Okay, this delay was my fault. I'd nearly finished working on what I thought was going to be chapter 27 before I realised that this scene needed to happen first, and the work I'd been doing needed to be put off for two full chapters of content. Combined with the uni work I put off while I was sick and... yeah, my time management has taken a hit ...

Ana took a deep breath of fresh air as she strode down the tarmac. For all that the continent had a reputation for its extreme heat, the weather actually reminded her a lot of Rio, but the air was cleaner, and she found herself relaxing into the warmth of the sun as she made her way toward the monolithic building ...
Still a little raw and sniffly, but the headacheyness has disappeared, which means I can work on my writing without worrying that it's turning into incomprehensible gibberish.

The cheerful pastel art did little to lighten Tommy’s mood as he stood with his hand hovering for the third time over the knob to the ex-community center’s rec room. One of the drawings, of a tiny man in armour being roasted alive by a bright green blob of a dragon drew his attention. He couldn’t help but feel like he might have rat...
2024-04-08 22:42:54 +0000 UTC View PostApparently children are the Typhoid Marys of family gatherings, because while I was planning to finish chapter 26 yesterday, I found myself struggling to even get out of bed. I'm slightly better today, but not sure if I'll be able to stare at a screen long enough to get any decent work done.
Last time I had covid it was like a bad flu fo...
As mentioned in my earlier post, here's a little something to tide you all over before we resume our regularly scheduled Killer Kittens.

In a not so distant future, the advancement of technology remains unfettered, propelled onwards by the deep pockets and ruthless practises of enormous megacorporations. Beneath...
In a somewhat foreseeable turn, my family has arrived in town two days before I was expecting them, and in greater numbers than anticipated. I was planning on having today and tomorrow free to work on finalising and editing the next two chapters, but that's looking to be a bit of a wash. As such, the next chapter will be on hold until Tuesday.
I'm not often exhausted after a weekend, but the past few days have been hectic. Sri Lankan weddings go hard.

Another day, another garden.
A waterfall of sweat poured down Tommy’s back as he pulled an armful of reticulation tubing up out of the bed of the van, slung it across his back, and hauled it down the short driveway.
They were returning to a house that Robert had visited the previous week. Apparently t...
2024-03-25 22:08:47 +0000 UTC View PostStrong end to the week for me. I've got a wedding to attend that's going to occupy pretty much my whole weekend, so Monday's chapter may be released a few hours later than usual while I do final edits, just depending on how much time I have over next few days. Any delays should be minor.

A slightly longer chapter today. I'm trying to find a good balance for content length vs number of chapter releases, so let me know if you prefer the longer format.
Enjoy!

“So she’s awake?” he asked, sipping at his morning cup of electrolyte-laden hydrofluid as he willed his brain to properly start up. “And they sent word of this to you and not me because…”

Ana
The first time her eyes opened, it was to a soft, pillowy comfort, the kind that made her want to tuck the duvet right up to her chin and go back to sleep no matter what responsibilities awaited. Dull grey light and a plain ceiling. There were sounds too, but they floated in and out of earshot as if on clouds, dull...

I've also begun a rewrite of chapter one which will focus on smoothing over the exposition and bringing Mirai's character out a bit more in the opening. It won't affect the plot or contents overly, and it's n...
Chapter 21- Jel
“…a stress-induced episode. I can’t share any more with you at this stage.” The soldier’s tone brokered no argument, and Jel’s lip curled slightly, unable to mask his distaste even as the lingering scent of the exotic spiced meats the human had brought tickled at his nostrils.

“So, um… do you eat here often?” Large feline eyes blinked at him from across the table, and Tommy groaned internally.
Not anymore we don’t that’s for sure, he thought with a quick glance around them to the other tables. Most of the attention had waned since the waiter left, but there was sti...

Sweat pooled beneath his eyes and across the back of his neck as Tommy hefted another shovel of mulch down into the garden bed at number 57b on Pioneer Drive. They’d started that morning at 57a, a home belonging to a kindly old lady with the deep wrinkles of a frequent smiler, who’d plied them with sweets and can...

Hi everyone!
I'm settling into a good routine here. Hoping to build up some backlog moving forward so that I can look at potentially releasing three chapters a week.
