If anyone ever wants to know if a combination flu and stomach virus is fun, I can assure you it is not. Last weekend was… a bit of a waste for my household, in more ways than one. My wife and I were most affected by it. Neither of our daughters experienced the gastric distress, which was a blessing. Because… man. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
This weekend, I’ve relapsed a little bit, but not that. Just a sinus infection that’s kept me on my butt more than I’d like. There are things to do: chores, cooking, birthday parties! Well, party, and that went off well. For my wife. We had a few friends over, and their kids. Burgers, cake, and the game Chrono Trigger for the ol’ SNES. What more is needed?
Progress has been made on a novelette I’ve been talking about in the #Necrolopolis subchannel of the Three Ravens Discord server. I’m more than 12,000 words into what will ultimately be about 16,000 to 17,000 once all the final revisions are done. Not bad for a little over a week’s work, and some of that sick! This will serve as a “pilot episode” of sorts for a much longer work, one I’m intending for the Royal Road serialization site. Look forward to seeing more of it in the coming weeks!
Now, as for stuff that is actually published (or soon to be published), what do we have…
Upcoming Pre-Orders – Murder Wrapped in Mink and Depth of Injustice
Upcoming Pre-Orders – Murder Wrapped in Mink (Oct 9th) and Depth of Injustice (Oct 2nd)
When an African American man discovers a stolen mink coat discarded in the trash, he thinks he’s stumbled onto an unexpected windfall. But when he tries to pawn it, he’s arrested and charged with the murder of a fur shop’s night watchman.
Convinced his client has been framed, private investigator James Wolf takes the case. His search for the truth quickly leads him into the heart of an elaborate nationwide fencing operation dealing in stolen furs, orchestrated by a ruthless West Coast mob boss.
As Wolf digs deeper, witnesses begin turning up dead and the list of suspects grows more dangerous by the day. With every new clue, the line between ally and enemy blurs.
Most troubling of all is a captivating lounge chanteuse—the former girlfriend of Wolf’s prime suspect. She may hold the key to the case… or she may be leading him straight into a deadly trap.
In a world where greed, deception, and murder are woven together, James Wolf must unravel the truth before he becomes the next victim.

As the investigation deepens, a faction emerges, willing to kill to keep their ties with Earth’s military hidden.
When Malik is left on the brink of death, Violetta’s determination intensifies, straining her alliance with a rule-bending admiral.

GALACTIC EXILE SERVICES
Got criminals? Monsters? Political dissidents? Unstoppable killing machines?
Drop them on Earth.
Located far beyond the major trade routes, this remote backwater world offers everything an interstellar government could want: no advanced technology, no space travel, no way off the planet, and a native population that is soft, squishy, harmless, and surprisingly tasty.
Best of all, once they’re here, your problems become somebody else’s.
Packed with creature-feature horror, cryptid chaos, alien mayhem, and redneck heroes armed with chainsaws, duct tape, and questionable judgment, It Came From the Trailer Park Volume 6 proves that exile to Earth was never the punishment.
The trailer park was.
