There’s no monster more dangerous than a man fighting for love…

He woke in a cage. Again. Well, fuck it, that escape had gone to hell in a hand basket. Hadn’t it? Dean Steele groaned as he opened his eyes, blinking until they cooperated and focused on the scene above him. Sure enough, bars stood between him and the ceiling high above. Yeah. He could smell the rust and metal. Once you’d been in one cage, smelled one, it was unmistakable. With a sigh, he shut his eyes again, not making an effort to move from where he was sprawled on his back. Why bother? What was the point? He lived and died at the will of others and had done so from the moment he’d been infected months ago. He was stupid if he thought any differently. That he could affect his fate. Negate it somehow. He wasn’t human now. Why should he expect to [...]

What type of Writer are you?

I was asked recently for a bit of creative writing advice. I wouldn't consider myself an expert since I'm still learning, and I always will be.

Snippet Saturday – Rescued by her Alien Protector

It's been a long time since I've done a #snippet here on the blog, so I figured it was about time :) Enjoy this snippet from RESCUED BY HER ALIEN PROTECTOR. (Please note, snippet is completely unedited and will probably make my editor cry and remove my internet privileges!) “Seemed you forgot one vital little detail,” Saad swaggered forward arrogantly, obviously enjoying his little moment. “Like the fact we’ve been here a fuckload longer than you have. I know these tunnels, I OWN these tunnels. There ain’t nowhere you can run that I can’t find you. You…” He pointed the shiv he held at Madison. “Are a dead fucking woman walking.” She held herself lightly. Putting her back to Indra’s, she tested her grip on the small hand axe. It was the only weapon she had, but by god, she wasn’t going to go down [...]
