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 a pair of sandals— he still called them that, even though Robert had jokingly threatened to flog him with a pair for refusing to put on thongs

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 as good as inhaled the first. She rolled her broad shoulders. “It probably doesn’t help that the gravity on this planet is so much higher than st...

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.

Killer Kittens from Outer Space- Chapter Twenty Eight
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 this last week.
Still, the good news is that this newest chapter is a nice long one, and doing all that work on chapter 29 should reduce my loa...

Ana
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 that was to serve as the Imperial consulate for the region.
At the moment it was little more than a large building with an attached military bas...

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 rathered facing down a dragon of his own if it meant avoiding what was to come. At least a giant fire-breathing lizard would have been more straightforwa...

Apparently 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 for a few days and then I was mostly well within a week. I'm stocked up on chicken soup and antihistamines, so hopefully I'll bounce back quickly and t...
Prey- Chapter One
As mentioned in my earlier post, here's a little something to tide you all over before we resume our regularly scheduled Killer Kittens.
Synopsis:
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 the neon signage of Kingdom City, Jace and his sister Mouse rely on a unique set of skills to put food on the table; donning the skins of exotic, lar...
Easter Break
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.
To give you all something to read in the meantime, I'm scheduling a (pilot? Is that a thing with stories?) chapter of another piece of work I've...

Tommy
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 the owner had been so happy with his work in the front garden that she’d called them back to put in a drip system for her vegetables, though Tommy wa...

Strong 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.

Jel
“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…”
“It was addressed to both of us,” Skara held her hands up as she scrolled through the message. “But yes, it seems she’s come good. Or as good as could be expected, considering. That’s not all though.”
“Oh?”
“It’s good news, I ...

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, dulled like a conversation from an adjoining room one moment, then uncomfortably loud, like someone was speaking directly into her ear the next. She close...

I'm a bit slow to start after the long weekend, so if anything has slipped past me in the final editing stages, please let me know.
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 not my first priority right now, but you can expect me to post it here first within a week or two for my patrons to read and decide which is better.

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.
Even though it had been one of the best meals he’d ever had, the feeling that something wasn’t right had left a bitterness in the back of his tongue tha...

I'm trying some new beans this morning, gonna figure out if Death Wish Coffee is all marketing or if it will actually put some more pep in my step. I suppose if the next chapter looks like the mad scribblings of a drug fiend, you'll know what happened.

“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 still the odd sour look being flung their way.
“Not so much,” he said instead, wishing their meals to arrive as quickly as possible. Though, gi...

Tommy
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 cans of soft drink to combat the baking heat.
“Bless you boys,” she’d said multiple times. “It’s been so hard to find good help aro...
