She stood by the console, looking at her laptop screen. She composed herself. She hadn’t expected it to be like this.

In lieu of Hydra story because they’ll be Monday to Friday this coming week, a Saturday night horror story.
This weeks #Colour_Collective submission. Alice blue was the colour of the week and I love the way she turned out. She’s called Alice after the colour of course. I may use her in future tales.

I do love how sexy my books look. Hydras story on the Little Fears is nearing an end. His search for an identity is a theme that runs throughout the new book.

I need to give it a few read throughs, check for mistakes and then release. I’m going to keep giving the ebook away for free for the first five days of release for the next couple of books. Despite my annoyance with freebie hunters leaving bad reviews, I get away mostly unscathed compared to most indie authors I follow. If you fancy grabbing my first three books, hit the links below.
She ran onto the escalator, looking down behind her. It stopped at the bottom of the stairs, watching her.
