Hi Everyone,
It’s already June and half of the year has already gone by.
So far it’s been a pretty good year. I don’t have any complaints. I’ve had a
few book releases and working on a few more that I hope to get out this year
too even about Bigfoot. This past weekend I was at ConCarolinas where I was
very pleased to hang out with a few other authors that I don’t get to see much,
including my blogmates from the
Disquieting
Visions Blog. And I got to meet some great new authors like
Rachel Aaron and was lucky enough to get
a signed book from her. Haven’t started reading it though, it’s in my TBR pile
for the moment.
June 29-July 1st I’ll be at
FandomFest in Louisville, KY so if you’re
in the area come on out and say hello. There will be goodies and books along
with some other things at my table.
I’m making good progress on my horror novel called Death’s Dance
and working on new shape shifter ménage within the
Fur World books and including
several characters from
A Cat
For All. So if you’re a fan of those, keep a look out for some more books.
Besides that, not much else going on just planning an
awesome summer. Hope you all do the same.
Dark Blessings

Death’s Dance:
I
threw down the pillow and climbed the stairs. “Look, whoever you are throwing
my stuff around isn’t going to get me to pay
attention to you.”
When I peered into the office, I
didn’t sense or see anyone. In fact
everything was in its rightful place. My tarot cards were neatly stacked on the
table. The crystals along the windowsill were still there. The bookshelves I
had my books on and other things were still filled with dust. My laptop was
still closed. But I noticed that my desk top was on and I had shut it off
before I had gone to bed the night before. The screen blinked on when I stepped
into the room.
The monitor began to cloud over like
my screensaver was made of fog. The way the mirror had misted over earlier.
Another bolt of fear went through me. I breathed out and noticed my breath came
out in a cloud of vapor. I ran my fingers over my arms from the small bumps
that were raised along my skin. Something was definitely with me now. The sun
was shining brightly on me and yet I couldn’t feel its warmth. All I could
feel was the plummeting temperate. Something was trying to get my attention and
whether it was the being from my dreams or the same one that had visited me in the
mirror or the same one that was haunting Jackson it wasn’t going to leave me alone
until I acknowledged it.
“W-what do you want?” I hated to hear the fear in
my voice, but I had never come across this kind of entity before. I had my
share of darker ones and even a demon here and there. Those encounters had
shaken me.
The temperature in the room dropped
steadily. The windows began to frost over. It seemed the sun light had dimmed
and wasn’t ever getting through.
“Look, if you’re trying to scare me or make
me run away then I’m not going to. If you’re the same entity that’s been in my dreams and was in
my mirror this morning, then I demand that you tell me what you want. If not,
get the hell out of my house and leave me alone.”
The rolling fog on the monitor
stopped and the screen lightened enough so I could see words forming on them as
if someone had breathed on the monitor and was writing with their finger. I
waited to hear the squeaking of skin on glass from the writing, but there was
only silence in the room. It took a moment, but the letters formed into words.
Death.
“Are you death?”
There was a pause. The atmosphere
weighed down in the room. Watcher.
“Okay. You’re a watcher. Do you watch me
in my dreams? Is that you?”
Yes.
“Were you in my mirror this
morning?”
No.
A shiver ran down my back. It could
be lying to me. Whatever this entity was. It could be tricking me. Not all
ghosts told the truth and I wasn’t about to put my trust in
something that was coming through to me over my computer screen. Then again, I
wasn’t going to open myself to it
and see if it came through and wanted to use me as a channel either.
"So what kind if a watcher are
you?" I had one people saying they had phantoms they noticed were hanging
around, I had spoken to one woman who had called me concerned about the entity that she had noticed hanging
around. But when I had gone to her house and asked the phantasm what it wanted,
it said that it was just watching out for her. It observed her and didn't get
involved with anything. Was this the same kind of being who was watching me?
The fog cleared even more, but still
I could see the figure whose writing on the other side of the computer screen.
It seemed that there was a pause. The temperature in the room was a little lighter.
Maybe he wasn't going to answer my question.
"Why are you in my
dreams?"
Protect.
Guardian.
A strong compulsion to go over to the
computer gripped me. The intrigue of what was being there and what did the
entity mean that it was my guardian. How was it protecting me? What did it
really want with me? There had to be an answer for that. I reached out
tentatively and touched the computer screen. It was cold underneath my fingers,
but when I pulled away from it, my fingers didn't stick to the screen. They weren’t being held there by some
unseen force, but when I was I felt the pressure of a finger pressing on the
screen and this time heard the distinct screech of a finger wiping over the
screen. My heart stilled a moment as I put my finger over the words being
formed. An electric jolt ran up my arm, but I was still free to pull my hand
away.
"Why are you protecting
me?" I sat down in the desk chair before the computer. It slid a little
ways away from the desk. The mist cleared even more on the monitor and in the
distance I could see the figure in the dark cloak that I had dreamed about. He
was staring at me, but he made no move to come any closer. A small breeze wound
though the room and jingling the wind chimes on my bookcase. I had them there because every time I entered
and left the room it was said that fairies would be drawn to the sound of the
chimes. That and the sound wads pleasing to me. It helped me remember my
grandmother because she had loved the tinkling sound so much. I glanced behind
me and saw my hematite sphere rock from its base and then fall on the floor,
land with a loud thud, and then roll over to my foot. I reached down and picked
it up hoping that it wasn't damaged because it had fallen from the second shelf
of my bookcase. The sphere was heavy and cool to the touch. There was no
blemish to it. My reflection was distorted in its round exterior.
"What does this have to do with
anything?"
See.
Protection.
What makes your reapers different?
