Revenant
Meet Joe Nobody . . . and pray he never meets you.He's average height, with an average build, and average looks - an instantly forgettable face in the crowd. Joe also happens to be a hit man, quite possibly one of the best in the world. He's so good, in fact, that most of his work life has settled into a comfortable routine, where everything goes according to plan, and nothing at all is surprising anymore. He's been just about everywhere, and he's seen it all.But Joe hasn't seen everything. Not yet . . .**WARNING** - This work contains several curse words and some extremely violent themes and situations throughout. I mean, the main character is a hit man . . . there's your first sign. You've been warned.**ADDITIONAL WARNING** - This is soooooooo first-draft-ish, so any problems you see logistically, thematically, or grammatically are all the fault of a combination of absinthe and overzealous fingers. And please, for god's sake, if you see something glaringly wrong, tell me about it! :)…

A Touch of Poison
Gwenwyn is the most miserable princess ever, and for good reason. Merely brushing up against her or touching her exposed skin is enough to cause painful burns, or worse. And if that wasn't enough, she's just discovered the singular reason for her existence - to act as the king's secret assassin, murdering neighbouring princes with nothing more than a simple kiss.…
Shiftless
A YA story I'm working on . . . which, yes, is taking time away from Revenant and Tucat 4, I know. But still . . . any writing you can manage is good writing, and this just seemed to mean something important to me. Feedback is appreciated.Don't worry, I'm not in the habit of dropping projects, and I will finish Revenant (as well as start the second novel featuring Joe) and get about it with Tucat 4, which I have literally (figuratively) been *dying* to write, now that the outline is finished. But, you have to follow your muse. And mine brought me to this moment, for some odd reason.…
