Stil alive, even if only hanging on by a thread...
Thankfully, Thanksgiving break has arrived! But I still have to catch up on this week's college. Plus write my story for workshop...
Anyways, I'm working on updating the web page (just added the new video! - see post in
jacksonxlisa ) and I'm also moving BB's Creative Cachet to a new home that's add free. Check out the work-in progress at BB's
new home.
FF News:
Steal My Life will be on an updating streak this week hopefully. I'm including a teaser for an upcoming chapter. My new challenge fic, Not Afraid of Tomorrow, will be posted on Monday, November 20th if everything goes to plan.
Novel News:
I'm working on Coldest Degree once more and there's a teaser in this post too. What has been written will be posted on the new site.
Today is Da Vinci Code night! I bought the DVD on Tuesday when it came out for my dad (early X-mas gift) and now my family is going to sit down and watch it tonight. I'm excited. I only got to see it once in June and I missed a chunk of it because I wasn't feeling good. I might make some screencaps for it eventually, but I make no gurantees.
On to the previews...
Steal My Life - TEASER
"Why, hello Sofia. Did you think I wouldn't find outa bout your--indescretions? Do you think I'm stupid, Sofia? Well?"
"I never meant to hurt you!" she cried out pitifully.
"Then why plot against me? Yes, I know about your plans to either divorce me or kill me if things didn't go right."
"It wasn't supposed to be this way!"
"Really? Then why don't you tell me about your plan? How was it supposed to end? Me in the ground? Tell me what the hell you were doing!"
"It was a con," she whispered. "I needed the money and you seemed like such a nice guy."
He snorted in disgust.
"I enver planned for it to last this long. But I needed one thing--a child. I needed to have a baby for the plan to work. A child to care for combined with your record of abuse would have given me everything."
"Selfish litte whore. Good-bye."
"Please, George, please forgive me. I never meant for it to end this way!"
"Well, sweetheart, neither did I."
A few moments later a gunshot rang out and he smiled widely.
Coldest Degree - TEASER
Kathy's heart was pounding as her feet slapped the pavement noisely. She splashed though puddles; hopped over fallen branches. Occassionally, she shot a glance over her shoulder.
"Come back here, sweetie," a sickly, sweet voice called, the words dripping like poisoned honey.
She picked up the pace. Catch me if you can. bastard! Catch me if you can! she taunted him in her head.
Then a loud metallic click sounded and a bullet cracked into the tree above her head.
Kathy dropped to the ground and rolled away. Why didn't you say he had a gun?
"Come on, little one. I'd hate to kill you--yet. Your mother wants to see you."
Her hand slipped under her right jean leg and withdrew the sharp blade that Jackson had concealed there for her use. She then jumped lightly to her feet and waited for the dark figure to appear. When he did, she crept up behind him. Kathy buried the knife deeply in his right shoulder and he howled in pain.
He knocked her to the ground with practiced ease and pain shot through her entire system.
"Bitch," he hissed. "Robertson's little bitch. Taught you some tricks, did he?"
"No..." Kathy tried to will her body to move backwards, away from the looming horror. She had been trying to entice this maniac, but now she wanted to be anywhere but there. Where are you? You're supposed to come in right about now!
"Sleep tight."
Pain exploded her in head and everything went black.
