First Five Friday - Lilith's Return




Lena stepped back in the bedroom overlooking the Pacific ocean once more.  The first thing she saw was the blonde sitting in a chair, staring straight ahead at the unlit fireplace.  The would-be starlet looked blank-eyed and slack-jawed.  It appeared that Satan had blown all her circuits at some point, leaving a pretty, if mindless, doll.

Six Sentence Sunday – Willow in the Desert



 
Carli hated to hear the Becomings referred to as bugs, but in the interest of moving things along, she let it go.  “He’s shown no sign of overwhelming blood hunger.  I think his Asperger’s is protecting him from going rogue.  Maybe it somehow makes him immune.  Even if he wasn’t, he’d have a good six weeks left before we’d have to … retire him.  He’ll be okay.”

First Five Friday - Lilith




Chapter 30 

Colwyn and Jacob waited in the car while Alex went into the church. 

She stepped into the hush of the interior and inhaled deeply.  The aromatic layers  of years of incense, flowers, and candle wax teased her nostrils.  Once upon a time, those mingled scents had given her a sense of security.  That time seemed very long ago.

Six Sentence Sunday – The Willow and the Stone


 
Renee raised her gaze, her ears still ringing with the blast from the gun.  The horror stalked on its wisp thin legs to stand over her.  The moonlight showed it in glaring detail; seven feet of alien.  Its proboscis writhed and lengthened.  The end narrowed to a needle tip.  Hypnotized with terror, she watched as a drop appeared at the end of the profane appendage.

First Five Friday – Willow in the Desert

"I rarely got a chance to catch my breath on this one...I just couldn't put the book down."  --Manic Readers review


 
Chapter 16 

                Gordon was horrified when he took in the situation at the main entrance to the base.  Carli, armed with nothing more than a flamethrower, was pinned behind the guardhouse that had once been the checkpoint for Cyrus’ comings and goings.  Her squad took shelter behind stacked debris several yards behind her, laying down fire when the mutants guarding the main gate tried to creep up on her position.  Many of the mutants were returning fire.  They had gotten hold of Kevlar vests and pushed large crates ahead of themselves as the inched closer to Carli’s hiding place.
