Quarantine: A Lollapalooza Short Story

Another Science Fiction story! Like The Vanguard, it’s a little weird, but not as weird…

For inspiration for this story, I sat down with my Thesaurus and picked out two random words. I got lollapalooza (which was really fun but impossible to place) and quarantine (which apparently got my writing juices running).

Let me know what you think!

Quarantine

The majority of her crew having perished in a flu outbreak, Captain Kovak is in desperate need of a friendly port.

She finds a planet on the map with the tags fuel and crew for hire, figuring she’s home safe.

Until she ends up quarantined.

First Impressions: A Young Adult Mystery Short Story

Here comes yet another short story. This one is a Young Adult story, but that shouldn’t stop the not-so-young adults from reading it!

I wrote the story in September, when the kids went back to school. It’s possible that the teacher’s name is weirdly similar to my daughter’s teacher – but the similarities stops there!

Anyway…let me know what you think!

Being the new girl in school is never fun.

I’m used to it, though. Spotting potential new friends, identifying the cliques to avoid, figuring out the school’s layout… Been there, done that.

Being accused of murder before the first class even starts? That’s new.

New Mystery Short Story Available

As promised, I continue publishing last year’s short stories. This one is Mystery (like a majority of my stories) and it’s quite funny. At least it was fun to write!

I usually spend two or three weeks in Norway every summer, and most years we eat at least a meal or two of crabs. Seems like last year, this was a source of inspiration!

Critters

Some crimes are more interesting than others.

Some killers are more surprising than others.

Today’s murderer appears to be a crab.

Happy New Year and A New Story!

I know, I haven’t posted in over a year. But I’m still here, and still writing, I just didn’t have anything ready to publish.

2018 has been the year of short stories for me. I’ve finished a whole bunch of them, and you’ll be seeing them popping up over the next few months.

The very first one, a weird Science Fiction story with cats (of all things), is coming out tomorrow! It’s called The Vanguard and was written for an assignment in a writing class I took. It had to have aliens and it had to have pets – so, yes, this story has alien felines… I promise, it’s a great story, though!

Here’s the cover and the blurb. Let me know what you think.

Minou’s latest kill, a wonderfully delightful mouse, has gone missing.

The mouse-thief isn’t the cat next door, but someone far more unexpected—and dangerous.

Apparently, Minou had a job to do.

The Red Brick Haze: A Tolosa Mystery

The Red Brick Haze, a prequel to The Red Brick Cellars, is finally ready. It’s available on all the usual retailers, but more importantly, you can get it for free right here.

No good deed goes unpunished.

When an explosion lays waste to part of the city of Toulouse and the citizens attempt to recover in the ravaged cityscape, Louis runs to the aid of people in need.

Chivalrous intent clashes with nefarious goals as Louis has to save himself and those he loves.

If you enjoy the story, I’d very much appreciate an honest review on Amazon, so that other readers can also discover it!

Or, just let me know what you think 🙂

The Red Brick Cellars: A Tolosa Mystery

This is all very scary for someone who spent most of her life being invisible on the net. First novel, first website, first post, all in one go.

So…

My very first novel, The Red Brick Cellars, is available! The eBook is already on Amazon and the print should be ready pretty soon. I’ll let you know.

What’s it about?

A murdered mayor. A second body reduced to skeleton and dust. The public display so horrific that the police are baffled.

Everyone assumes uninterested heir Louis Saint-Blancat will finally settle down and focus on the politics of Toulouse, France. Louis becomes the center of attention in the press while his mother and sister pressure him to follow the family’s political tradition when all he wants is to track down his father’s killer, then return to his globe-trotting lifestyle.

Determined to ferret out the story behind the perplexing assassination that took place at the very center of Toulouse to advance her career, struggling English journalist Catherine Marty finds an unlikely ally in Louis.

Will the two sleuths discover what is lurking beneath the apparent congeniality of la Ville Rose?
