Bio
I'm the guy who knows every last fact about Spider-man and if I don't I'll track it down. I love bad movies, enjoy table-top gaming, and probably would drive you crazy if you weren't ready for it.

Sacrifices for the Balance Chapter 4: Visiting the Akashic Record
Jena stepped through and closed the door. She found herself in a crowd of people, which surprised her. She searched the faces, looking for Peter's. It took her a few moments, but she finally saw a shock of red hair. She walked over to the person attached to it. She reached her hand to him. “Peter? Peter Stonehound?”

Sacrifice for the Balance Chapter 2: The Queen Enters The Game
[The last chapter can be found here.] Lady Astor Mary Brisbane did not like what the motorcycle helmet would do to her hair, but it was better than using the limousine. Tomasz Cel Tradat had picked her up from the airport and had given her the choice of a limousine or a motorcycle. One look at the gorgeous red Harley Davidson with its chrome, and she knew the limousine was the worse of the two rides. While she loved the ostentatiousness of the limousine, it would never make it to the hidden village she was traveling to.

Brass Ring Chapter 3: When The Clarion Call Goes Out
[Link to Chapter 2] After a wild mix of bumpy dirt roads and horrible karaoke, Oliver and Cass eventually returned home. The entire afternoon had had the feel of the last few hours of summer vacation; they had packed his van even before they had left for the pond. Each touch, each kiss was bittersweet; even the teasing lacked its usual "oomph!" Oliver had already made sure that the internet wouldn't drop as often just so that the two could talk face-to-face, even during the worst rainstorm and

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 2: Fear The Chipmunk Killers!
The checklist wasn't just to make sure that she was ready. Sure, it helped make sure that she had everything she would need, that everything she packed was cleaned, and gave her peace of mind, but that wasn't all. It put her in the right frame of mind, a ritual of sorts to shift her from barracks mode to field mode. She inspected all of her gear, looking for cracks and holes. Finding none made her happy; she even smiled as she realized all of those trips to the armorer had its dividends.

Demon In The Woods
She crouched down, hiding behind the crumbled wall. She heard the crunching of feet passing next to her as she held her breath, hoping it didn't hear the hammering of her heart or smell her perspiration. She heard it pause and turn; her body dove and she twisted just soon enough to see it smash the wall into dust.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 4: The Coming of the Tattooed Voyager
Lieutenant Sawyer ran into the hallway just behind the rest of her team. The dretch easily dwarfed the soldiers, being twice as tall as a man and was built like a wrestler. Naked save for its ragged loincloth, its size made it look almost like a gigantic baby. Well, except for the nasty roar and a maw of sharp teeth.

Brass Ring Chapter 4: Time to Get Going
Don Pelegrine looked over the resumes of those he had chosen to participate in the heist. Tran “Pinball Wizard” Kung would be providing all of the technical expertise; he and the tools inside his spheroid battle-suit should be able to handle the security software and associated technology. He should enable the team to get into the vault and then exit it under full cover. He had also been the first to arrive; he had fortunately been leading a symposium just a few cities away.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 3: A World Recreated
Lieutenant Sawyer couldn't help but superimpose the past onto the future as they walked to the dretch's home. Even a few years ago the area they were walking through would have been a bustling small town, with people crowding the sidewalks and hovercars swarming the road. The sun would be gleaming off the buildings. Rapid City, South Dakota, had become a metropolis by 2098, on the cutting edges of cybernetics and material technology, as well as near the largest herds of bison.

Sparrow on a Plank Chapter 3: Finding the Right Help
That afternoon, back on Cyrill, the interviews began. While Sal tried to find a boat that fit their criteria (pretty much the cheapest yet fastest ship she could find) Hajime started researching the target. After all, even the best intelligence forgot something. In this case, the cultural dossier had been forgotten. Which meant having to go into the backshelves of the worst library on Cyrill, hoping to find something despite their complete lack of organization. Hajime had learned early on to hate the backshelves.

When The Little Witch Goes Trick & Treating
Before her lay a circle of power, and inside stood a powerful demon. Its muscles were bulging, its wings were spread majestically, and its horns curled aggressively. It glared at the witch just outside the circle, just outside its influence. “What would you have of me, woman, so that I may yet again be free?”

Brass Ring: When They Were Children
Fifteen years ago… The mobile carnival smelled of rust and oil. The smell of popcorn and hot dogs barely covered the smell. The lines to the rides were long, but the couples didn’t mind. Men trying to prove things to either their buddies or their dates surrounded the gaming booths as the promise of stuffed animals overrode the knowledge that the games were rigged against them. Kids swarmed the tents, looking for the next great attraction.
