"The Champion of Pecullar" on Havok...One Day Only

 

My short story "The Champion of Pecullar" is being featured as this week's Thriller Thursday story on gohavok.com. The monthly theme is "Vice and Virtue," so I decided to tackle laziness vs. diligence for this story. Here's an excerpt, courtesy of Havok's fb page:

“See?” Joler exclaimed, waking me up. “I beg Crobet to train with me every day, but he just sits there!”

“Why haven’t you been training?” Turgess snapped. “You’re getting flabby!”

I shrugged, regretting giving them the access code to the underground command center. “When was the last threat? Three years ago, maybe four?”

“So?” The wiry old man kicked my couch. “You’re the Champion of Pecullar! You have to be prepared at all times! If word gets out that you’ve gotten soft and lazy, we’re doomed!”

“You called me a phenom, remember? Nobody’s faster or stronger than me!” I rolled over, trying to go back to sleep.

“That’s no substitute for staying sharp!”

"The Last Laugh" on Havok...One Day Only!

 

My new short story, "The Last Laugh," is this week's Thriller Thursday story on gohavok.com. This is another entry in my Sardis County series, and it plays with one of my favorite themes, revenge gone awry. The story also features both of my dual (dueling?) antagonists--Janus Labs as well as the mysterious Other Side. It's a six-minute read, and it can be read for free for today only.

I'm including a little excerpt here, the same one that Havok has on Facebook to promote the story. Speaking of Havok's fb page, check out the  image that Havok Publishing included with it. Absolutely amazing, and a perfect fit for the story in my humble opinion.

The floorboards of the psychiatric facility creaked beneath my feet as I followed Dr. Kelvin down the hall. All the other residents either stared at me or looked through me like I wasn’t there. I wasn’t sure which was creepier.

“Does she still talk about Lenora?” I asked.

“Sometimes.” Kelvin raised an eyebrow. “You said you’re her cousin?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Never seen you here before. Can’t blame you, considering.”

“I’m not very close to this cousin.” Hence the poisoned sugar cookies.

If Mom and Dad were here, they would tell me to let it go, that nothing good could come from revenge, quoting Scriptures at me. Then again, if they were still here, I wouldn’t need revenge. They died because of Courtney’s practical joke, and she had never accepted responsibility for it. Now it was time to avenge them.
