Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 7

 "Thompson found that it opened into a rough natural passageway in the rock which led downward and to the northwest. His tracker isn’t working that far down in the rock because we didn’t equip him with a powerful enough one to penetrate that deep, but he used his suit’s software to create a rough map."

 

Part 7 marks the halfway point! I've finally got the rest laid out and ready to post and it will be a total of 14 parts or chapters that will run until the end of April. I hope you are all buckled in because the roller-coaster picks up in speed from here on!

Have you figured out which fairy tale inspired this story yet?

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 6

"Instead of meeting two days later, Brig. Gen. Brantley was rudely jerked awake by a priority message alarm in the middle of the night. He groggily hit the button to activate a voice only channel and barked, “What is it?” "

 

At last! Answers to the mystery! But that just leads to more questions in this next part of "The Twelve". Comment below with where you think this story is heading.

I've been working on a new sci-fi short story this week (the one that was supposed to be posted as this month's story in Speculative Scribblings), but it's still not quite done as I ended up with no time for it. Instead, I celebrated a week of birthday stuff, work, and a full on burnt, two day fudge disaster of a birthday dessert. It has been a week, let me tell you. I'm ready to get back to normal this week (and finally make a successful chocolate dessert to feast on!)

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 5

“Sir, as I said before, I have no solid facts to present, but I did decide to...go off the beaten path so to speak and search for any similar happenings in the past. Of course, I found absolutely zero similar events in the history of our military or the GU, however, I did find something curious in the history of this planet."

Welcome to March with Part 5 of The Twelve! Finally, there's a breakthrough, or rather, a clue, in the case.

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Parts 3 & 4

“You fell asleep?” Brantley tried to keep the amusement out of his voice.

“Yes, sir. I tried my hardest to stay awake, though. I can walk quiet when I want to so I patrolled around the barrack checking each room every half hour. But about two hours after lights out, my memory just goes blank and next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair at the front door with sunlight hitting me square in the eye."

The final two parts for February are up in one go! (Mostly because I ran out of time to post part 3 on schedule). The plot continues to thicken as it baffles the poor brigadier general. Will he be able to line up all the puzzle pieces that keep drowning him?

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 2

"08:30 arrived with a rushing swiftness that left the commander gasping. Or maybe it was only that his dread hastened the speed at which his doom approached. At precisely 08:25, the staff officer manning the front desk informed him that Lieutenant Colonel Kelly had arrived, but the Brigadier General ordered that no one be allowed in till the actual meeting time. Brantley used the last five minutes of peace to organize both his thoughts and his desk. His staff officer had conveniently supplied his office with enough chairs for all the participants so they could keep this private versus using one of the meeting rooms."

 

This story is continuing to lengthen as I tweak it a little bit more. Current estimate is 12 parts! So that means the story should continue releasing till the end of April. Just for my lovely patrons~

Have you guessed yet what fairy tale this is based on?

On the Erebus Parts 4 & 5

Whew it's been an interesting few last weeks. Nasty storms and tropical storm leftovers have been wreaking havoc in my area. It knocked out the power for almost a whole day and the internet for over two days!! But, while waiting for the internet to come back on I rewrote the story and added two new parts. I'm much happier with how it is now. Parts 4 and 5 are now available to read and the final part will go live next Friday.

I had a lot of fun when writing the new parts because of all the danger and excitement. Action scenes are so fun to write! The adrenaline kicks in and it takes off on the page. Though that can be good or bad depending on just how much fixing needs to be done afterwards.

I've been doing a LOT of research on the self-publishing area of releasing this story outside of private sales and it may take longer than I anticipated before I can full realize it as an officially published book. But I will have it in book form as a reward for patrons and I will have a private version available for sale direct through my website! Just please be patient for the official publication. I want to do it properly, but that will take time and a lot of money unfortunately.

On the Erebus Parts 2 & 3

I forgot to post last when I uploaded part 2, but you can read both parts 2 and 3 on my website now! On the Erebus is part of my patron library available only to patreon subscribers. However I'm working hard at getting it perfected for selling as an ebook on Amazon and direct from me (through paypal). It's the first time I've ever created an ebook so it may take me a while to figure it all out! But it'll be available in mobi, and epub formats.
