What have you accomplished this week?

The Pipe Predicament Chapter 3 – A Sci-Fi Mystery Story
Adan leaned forward. “You know something about this?” Kr’zani’s tail swished lazily. Behind the fierce expression, Adan knew there were rapid calculations running through that brain of his. His nose twitched like he was sniffing the air. “You’re telling the truth,” Kr’zani said grudgingly. “Of course I am!” Adan spread his arms and stood to … Continue reading The Pipe Predicament Chapter 3 – A Sci-Fi Mystery Story
Analysing Cinder by Marissa Meyer
If you've been around for a while, you'll probably have learned by now that I procrastinate reading books that I should have read a long time ago. Obviously, Cinder has been on my radar for a while.

Edge: A Flash Fiction Story
No. 22/100 100-word short stories for my 100 follower celebration! Some say the Edge of Insanity makes you…well, insane. But for me, it was different.

The Pipe Predicament Chapter 2 – a Sci-fi Mystery Story
As the moment of discomfort passed, Kr’zani sniffed. Was that the same smell from the fuel pipe coming from Stone? “What's put you in a bad mood today, then? Don't tell me it was…well, me?”Kr’zani’s tail swished back and forth as he identified the scent for certain. “This is my normal mood, as always, Mr. Stone.”“And … Continue reading The Pipe Predicament Chapter 2 – a Sci-fi Mystery Story
5 Things That Make Your Book Look Unprofessional
In self-publishing, you must wear many hats. So many, in fact, that you start looking like someone who's selling hats. (Reminds me of the book Caps for Sale - anyone else read that as a kid?)
