Free Read


While deciding to give up and archive a WiP that just wasn't working for me (the untitled fantasy I'd been working on) I came across some of my old "flashes".

Six Sentence Sunday


Six sentences from the next Rebirth series book:

There was so much blood.
The tear in his throat gaped at me and I swallowed hard, feeling sorry death had not come more swiftly for him. I could see the madness slowly creeping into his eyes and knew he was only seconds away from the very release he was begging for.
