The Road To Hell, Ch. 3

It's the long awaited, exciting conclusion to our heroes(?) daring attempt to break into Hell!  Chapter 1 Chapter 2 ******** “So, where ya’ll from?” Issa opened her eyes and lifted her forehead from her palm just long enough to slide a weary look at the tow truck driver. After being lost in the endless tunnel …

WIP Tidbit

*in her best Obi-Wan Kenobi impression* Hello there! Long time no post, I know. Still trying to get the hang of blogging (I barely have a grasp on "the Twitter") but I thought I'd try to get back in the swing of things because I'm no quitter. I'm an extreme procrastinator, which is totally different. …

Smoke and Mirrors (#photostoryprompt 6/7/19)

(Photo by Radina Valova @radinavalova, host of #PhotoStoryPrompt) Issa, V, and Ron are at it again. A micro story written for the aforementioned Twitter prompt featuring our favorite Death-hunting trio, a sleazy Dionysus, and pants-less tree hugging. *** "What's this room for?" Ron made a sloppy gesture at the elegant hall, drizzling vodka onto the …

A Little Brush With Death

((This is a story I'd like to eventually expand and explore in more depth. But for now, I hope you enjoy this odd little one shot. It has an interesting personification of Death, coffee, and maybe even a mind-blowing beat box solo to the chorus of "Highway to Hell". What more can you ask for …

The Road To Hell (Issa & the Gang, Ch. 2)

Here's Chapter Two of the currently untitled book featuring everyone's favorite Firebird driving, foul-mouthed Egyptian sorceress and necromancer, Issa, with her friends, Ron, the perpetually drunk Arthurian knight, and V, the ever-bored, slightly spacey reincarnated Hindu goddess. Just three good pals looking for Death and finding out that the road to Hell is actually paved …

Burned Bridges (#PhotoStoryChallenge 7/5/18)

(Photo by Radina Valova @radinavalova, host of #PhotoStoryPrompt) ((Another story starring, Issa, Ron, and V and some Greek mythology with an urban twist thrown in for good measure. Hope you enjoy!)) The ’79 Pontiac Trans Am hit the bridge at 90 miles an hour like a shooting star trying to outrun the night, tires spinning …

Stoned (#photostoryprompt 6/7/18)

(Photo by Radina Valova @radinavalova, host of #PhotoStoryPrompt) Issa and Ron stared in dumbfounded disbelief through the door's barred window, taking turns blinking stupidly at the empty chains that were not empty an hour ago. "You were supposed to make sure her chains were secure!" Issa hissed out the side of her mouth. "I did!" …

The Witch’s Bones (#PhotoStoryChallenge 6/31/18)

(Photo by Radina Valova @RadinaValova, #photostorychallenge host) ((For this challenge, I used two of the main characters from my YA/NA dark fantasy book, currently titled "The Weeping City", that I will be writing next year. I'm still pretty new to writing YA/NA but if you enjoy African lore and high fantasy, this may be something …

Wake Me When We’re Dead (#PhotoStoryChallenge 5/24/18)

(Photo by Radina Valova @RadinaValova, #photostorychallenge host) ((For this challenge, I used characters from my After Life series that I'm working on alongside my other 87 side projects)) Issa passed several gas stations before finding one that was just the right amount of out-of-the-way and isolated. There hadn’t been a car besides hers on the …

Hell Yes (After Life series)

This is the first chapter from a series of novels I'm working on concurrently with Blue Moon Blues. If you've ever wondered why there has yet to be a writer deranged enough to create a story about an Egyptian necromancer, an Arthurian knight, and a reincarnated Indian goddess on a road trip to find Death, …
