New music mix!

New soundtrack. And here’s the sad thing about this “love theme” (with few love songs) mix – I can break them down to specific characters. And if you’d like to know which songs are for which characters, read on. By character: Roan’s songs: Blackest Eyes, Weak and Powerless, 18 Wheels, I Lived My life To Stand In The Shadow of Your Heart, Thugs, Honeythief Paris’s songs: You Were The Last High, Plans, Between The Bars Dylan’s songs: Airport Surroundings, Special, You and Me, Holden’s songs: D Is For Dangerous (although, to be fair, this could apply to Paris as well), Criminal Matt’s song: Prisoner (poor Matt) The starting and ending songs – Julius and Infected, respectively – are general songs...

Undertow, Part 5

5 – Frozen Zoo Although he hated to do it, Roan forced himself to call Gambol, and ask about men who may have gone missing with a ten mile radius of the Hall household, within a week on either side of her disappearance. Gambol, the smug bastard, knew he was fishing, and while he taunted him, he supposedly looked up the info. It was a big goose egg. So Roan expanded the parameters by twenty miles and an extra week, but that only called up an elderly, senile man who wandered away from his nursing home. So if Melinda did run off with a lover, he wasn’t missing. He was a man who could pick up stakes and move on. Single then, without a family he was also escaping from, a man who was able to start fresh whenever he wanted. Impossible to find, especially over...

Undertow, Part 4

4 – Moth’s Wings Holden was just going to ignore the pounding on his door, even when Scott said, “C’mon, I know you’re in there.” He couldn’t know that. So what if his car was in the parking lot? Maybe he got a lift somewhere. But he gave in to a certain amount of guilt based inertia, and levered himself off the couch to open the door. Scott was standing there in an old Molson t-shirt and gray sweatpants, indicating he’d come here from the rink or the gym. They were un-sexy clothes that he still managed to make look sexy, just in the way they clung to him. At least Holden felt this was all a learning experience. Hockey players may have had messed up faces, but all that hard skating did a body great. “Should I feel left out?” Scott asked,...

A new reader story primer

If you’ve read Infected: Prey and/or Infected: Bloodlines and found my blog, thank you for visiting. Infected started as serial fiction here, and I still continue to write it here. The world is just too much fun to play in, and besides, I’ve expanded it with all these weird characters who are effortless to write. But for those wondering where the fiction here relates to the book, I thought it was about damn time I put up a “primer”. I number the stories as “books”, so Infected and Prey were book #1 & 2, and Infected: Bloodlines is #3. The upcoming Infected: Life After Death will contain books 4 & 5 (Life After Death and Hysteria, respectively). The stories available in the Infected fiction archive start with #6, Freefall. You probably could...
