My stories

First 2 chapters of Rise of the Bloodline novel

LIFE SENTENCE Knuckles white, Blake gripped the automatic pistol in his left hand and listened to the waves sucking the shore. An inward rush followed by a moment of burbling calm. The loud clatter of pebbles as the waters receded. Then the roar and rumble as another wave came rushing in. The repetition of tides rolling in above hidden depths.

The Gate
