Freelancers, Chapter One
"Lia'Vael nar Ulnay?" Lia turned around--too quickly, and the room seemed to spin around her. She slumped against the wall, using it to hold herself upright, and crossed her trembling arms over her chest, hoping she looked casual instead of sick as...
Elsewhere, Chapter 1: Displaced
Screams pierced the darkness that had suddenly enveloped the repair bay. Roger grunted and rubbed his forehead, wondering if the darkness was caused by a power outage or the impact of his head against his workbench a few seconds...
Uncharted Territory, Chapter 1
Kolya jolted awake with a shrill cry, threw her arms across her face, and almost rolled off her bed. She opened her good eye wide and whipped her head around as the last remnants of the nightmare faded away. Her heart pounded as she fumbled for the...
Load (Neon City, Book 1): Chapter One
"Ah, Jack, you're just in time." Bladder grinned and waved a hand at the guy standing beside him. "We've got some new meat for you." Jack shoved the delivery box into a vacant slot in the shelf, plugging its connectors in so it could...
Rematch, Chapter 1

Arena, Chapter 2

Enemy of my Enemy, Chapter 1
"I really wish you'd reconsider, Jack." Arcee kept her voice barely above a whisper even though Jack was the only other person in the repair bay. She sat in the same spot she'd occupied since Ratchet attempted to fix her near-fatal damage from...
Wrong Place, Right Time - Part 2
_Author's note_: I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this, but I've removed the content. I wrote this hoping I could make some money from it, and in the last three weeks have sold only four copies. Over a thousand people have read it and lots of readers...
Wrong Place, Right Time

Boldly Coming -- 1st scene
