Natalya’s comm pinged. “Commodore Archer,” she answered crisply as she took it out of her breast pocket. “Sorry to disturb you, commodore. This is Lieutenant Jeffers in the War Room. Admiral Foraker wants you here ASAP.” “What’s happened, lieutenant?” “Our listening posts have picked up an incoming hyper wake, ma’am. A big one. ETA sixteen hours.”

The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 31
We’re back with a new addition to The Hungry Stars. In this chapter, the (attempted) escape from Nibiru is still on its way. An escape is usually easier when you have an APC and your opponents don’t. And they aren’t willing (yet) to just hit you with a rocket, but ‘easier’ is relative. There’s still… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 31
The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 13 and epilogue
My patrons voted for it, so here we have the final installment of Ozymandias! What began as a short 5-chapter entry into the settin’s backdrop has become a novel-length story about Harper Catros, intelligence operative of the Compact of Species hunting down the most notorious terrorist in known space. Where has it gone from there… Continue reading The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 13 and epilogue
The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 12
My patrons voted for it, so we’ve got a fresh new chapter of Ozymandias to close off the month!

Adrianna’s plan to escape the angler hounds through cryogenics has hit a snag: there are angler hounds in… Continue reading The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 12
The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 30
My patrons keep voting for it, so the hits just keep coming. More Hungry Stars, with the situation on and above Nibiru taking a turn for the worse (that pun will hit you shortly).

The Last Angel: Ozymandias, Chapter 11
With my patrons voting for it, we’ve got the next update to Ozymandias. Harper and Adrianna are preparing to confront some of the Great Prison’s former inmates specimens.

The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 29
My patrons voted again for more of The Hungry Stars, so that’s what they get. This is Chapter 29, close to the halfway mark in the story. Things on Nibiru continue to go off the rails with Echo and her crew breaking into a cloning facility and freeing a captive Lydia Jameson. That doesn’t go… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 29
Children of Heaven: Choir of Silence, Chapter 32
“What did you think? That the war would slide to a halt simply because you wanted it to, that what happened between us would somehow change my people’s drive?” “No, I… I don’t know what I thought. I shouldn’t be surprised, though. You’re killers without peer. Innocence means nothing to you, does it?” “What is innocence except a lack of opportunity?” “Don’t play the sanctimonious philosopher with me. I know you don’t actually think like that.” “…true. But many of my brothers and sisters do.”
The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 28
Here we are with the next installment of The Hungry Stars. Echo, Grace and Allyria have discovered that reports of Lydia’s death are greatly exaggerated. The young Marine is currently being held below one of the largest cloning facilities on Nibiru. I’m sure there’s nothing to be concerned about on that front, nor the fact… Continue reading The Last Angel: The Hungry Stars, Chapter 28
