Blue Bloods: Chapter Twenty-Three - Attraction

"What in the ever loving hell was that?"

Jesse felt Steve's question as much as hearing it. Her melted body draped over his chest, pooled on either side of him. He gently cradled handfuls of her; by the sensation they parts she would normally smack him for touching. At the moment any contac...

Drag.Race: Chapter Thirty - Higher Standards

Micah lay on the couch in his office, watching his beloved Ophilia. She sat at his desk... her desk now, cluttered with work the way all her workspaces eventually wound up. There was something she wasn't telling him, but at this moment, here in his office, he couldn't bring himself to care. He wa...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Twenty-Two - Scream

Centurion cradled Siren's still form in his arms and wept. With a thousand tiny fingers of his mind he held her wounds closed, but it hadn't been enough. He'd reached in and forced her heart to beat, pushed air into her lungs, but her face remained still and slack beneath her sheltering mask. He ...

Drag.Race: Chapter Twenty-Nine - Ink

Misty lay her hand on Micah's head, brushing his hair back from his face. In the presence of so much Power flying about the room, his hair had grown thick and black, replacing his usual buzz cut with a head full of wavy black hair that hung down to his shoulders. She admired the perfect formation...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Twenty-One - Card Reader

Steve stumbled along in darkness, following Jesse's scent more than her hand. He heard her dodge left past a squeaking cart. He followed, caroming off the wall before he righted himself.

"Hang in there, Steve. We're to the elevator. It should be here soon."

"I hear it. Needs maintenan...

Drag.Race: Chapter Twenty-Eight - Death

Ricardo and X looked on as the great dragon's head slithered down to his prey once more. Their daughter lay in the clutches of something neither of them could hope to fight and survive. Ricardo slipped his hand into X's, and in a voice so low he could barely hear himself, said, "I have loved you ...

Hit a wall

Hey there!

I want to apologize for being a little late with the latest advanced chapter of Blue Bloods, as well as being slow off the mark with the 'next steps' of alternate-viewpoint Diary chapters and eBooks.

Some time last weekend I kind of hit a wall in terms of how much I could d...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Twenty - Transitional Rooms

Drew's phone vibrated against her hip just as the elevator doors slid open. She checked the screen, but the caller ID read 'blocked'. She stepped in and punched the button for the fourth floor without looking. The doors slid shut, the elevator started to rise with the same lurch she'd felt every ...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Nineteen - Heroes

Katrina watched as Damien ran a final check on his video equipment. Her heart raced in counterpoint to the bursts of gunfire in the distance. Her phone jangled in her ear. She tapped the case secured to her hip.

"Dammit, Eduardo, I told you I'd call you when I had the video ready! You're go...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Eighteen - Break Room

Rumbling construction equipment woke Jack from a sound sleep. He debated the pros and cons of going to the window to investigate for a bit before he remembered. A wondering smile crept across his face, and he rolled slowly out of bed and walked carefully to the window. He tried to wipe the idiot ...

Drag.Race: Chapter Twenty-Seven - Pain

The universe was pain and weight and fatigue. The only hope was enough pain to end it all. Micah couldn't remember how long he'd trudged, step after step, through the snow. Vaguely he realized he felt no snow under his feet now. Instead, his feet rested on smooth, polished wood. Apparently the so...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Seventeen - Directions

Deep within her warm, dark cocoon, Grace dreamed of music. The achingly sweet refrains she pulled from her cello. The fierce beat of a marching band. The quiet melody of a stream. The insistent pulse of a heartbeat. The false cacophony of a city, thousands of sounds blending into a melodious whol...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Sixteen - Blood

Angela leaned against a door, trying to remember why she stood in the emergency room. She remembered nothing but blur of bodies, triage, and emergency surgery. It started an hour or so after the rain of fire and still hadn't let up. She stared blearily around the room, trying to figure out where ...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Fifteen - Rest

One moment Grace clutched the heaving seat of the water taxi as the cabbie tried to fight his way up the enormous tsunami. The next moment, the wave broke, flipping the tiny boat end for end, slamming it down, crushing it into matchsticks in an instant. She clung to the seat cushion, hoping it wo...

Blue Bloods: Chapter Fourteen - Burning

Walker stared in awe at the passing celestial visitor. Most of the world couldn’t see what saw just now. Most of the world wouldn’t believe it if they could. He wished he had a video camera, but all the work he had done so far was related to patching a section of the space station’s hull un...

Chapter Thirteen - Bad Day

Steve was having a bad day. First, he got roped into a no-booze party by Charlie. Then he got knocked off the roof by a helicopter blade. Finally, he woke up in the back parking lot naked, with a topless Angela holding his junk and crying.

OK, that last wouldn’t be too bad if he could jus...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-Six - Misty

...Misty stared at Mic. She didn't have time for a visit. Drake would be free of the blessed bamboo soon, and when he was, he would be furious. He would kill her if he caught up to her.

Mic pulled her to him. Their lips met, the heat of the kiss searing its way down her spine, etching itsel...

Chapter Twelve - Demolition

Katrina slid her hand under Damien’s shirt, and the world chose that moment to go insane. Something smashed through the theater screen, leaving fire and smoke in its wake. The screams from the film mixed with screams from the crowd as whatever it was careened through the back wall of the theate...

Chapter Eleven - Angie

Angela leapt down the emergency stairs one flight at a time. A tiny voice inside of her screamed that she would break a leg, but the sheer exhilaration of her tiny moments of freefall eclipsed that tiny voice utterly. By the time she reached the bottom floor, she forgot why she’d run down the s...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-Five - Challenge

Tee straightened, turning as she did to face the entrance of the museum. Captured in the light of a single spot, an intruder stood staring straight into the beam that highlighted him. By the way he ignored her motion, he hadn't seen her yet. A sudden undeniable impulse washed through her like a t...

Chapter Ten - Gravity

Jesse bounced to her feet like a rubber ball. The shrapnel from the exploding helicopter had already gone past, so standing was relatively safe. Something had yanked Steve clear of her a moment after he knocked her down. That left only two of them on the roof with any serious paramedic experience...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-Four - Sanctum

Phil stacked the last of the papers neatly on Micah's desk. She didn't want to think about the compromises she'd made, but she'd bought another month. This one was the last, though. If the museum didn't find a new source of income, a big one, in the next thirty days, the vultures would descend. H...

Chapter Nine - Reaction

Charlie screamed 'Incoming!' Reflexes Drew didn’t know she had made her throw herself to the ground. In midair, before she hit the ground, one thought filled her mind. I am going to beat him to a pulp for that. Concrete and tarmac coated the roof of the hospital; her dive for cover wou...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-Three - Bargain

Micah trudged through a dark, leafless forest. Ice covered every branch, a relic of the storm he'd weathered on the way here. He couldn’t tell for sure how far north he'd come; the storm took away all sense of direction until he could only follow the prompts of the imp on his shoulder. He could...

Chapter Eight - Elevation

Charlie finished setting up the sound system. “This party is going to be out of this world. Pun intended.”

Angela threw a carrot at him. She’d been hovering around the food since some of the napkins blew off the roof. Mostly she’d been trying to make sure nothing else would blow awa...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-Two - Encounters

Ricardo flitted through the darkened museum, uncomfortable in his new outfit. Haute couture was his normal mode, and he had learned to appreciate the convenience of island casual clothing, but he'd never worn business attire before. For the thousandth time he ran a hand across his blouse, tugged ...

Chapter Seven - Awareness

Grace looked across the bay. To get to the consulate or the airport, she needed to cross half of Hong Kong. To do that required taking a taxi, in which case she would still be stuck in traffic when Phil realized her intentions and moved to intercept her. The other possibility, one she knew Phil w...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty-One - Calls to Battle

The Morrigan looked down on her minion from her obsidian throne. She felt good; it had been too long since she replaced the body she used here in her stronghold. She’d swathed her new body in crimson silk, and rubies dangled from her ears, her neck, and her wrists. Intrigued, she hardened a pla...

Chapter Six - First Impact

John Walker looked across the gap between himself and the shuttle. He’d waited half an hour since they signed off. He ran through his check again; everything showed up as functioning normally. He had plenty of time on his suit, but Atlantis had to get out of the way before the meteor came throu...

Drag.Race, Chapter Twenty - Foreclosure

X slid silently through a space that wasn't there. The owner and creator of the non-place was a being of power, and like all such beings, he had his secrets. Secret places, secret things. X was the master of hidden things, and finding hidden things meant finding hidden places, even when those pla...
