This one immediately follows on from events from the first book. Here, the flirty Fae Queen kidnaps the Emperor’s General (known for his sense of duty and morality) for her own purposes.

“So, this assassin robot, are we talking something like the Terminator?”

The agent almost guffaws, then holds up vial containing a fly-sized drone. “Whisper quiet. Painlessly injects self-replicating nanites that cause something inconspicuous, like an aneurysm.”

#WIPSnips The word for October 8 is LIZARD

There are no lizards on Ibis 2. Other than the nomari and humans, only invertebrates inhabit the planet. But Kate recalls lizards in other places... and the reptilian cold-bloodedness is not inappropriate.
#WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SFF

Text excerpt from NOMARA, a science fiction WIP by L.L. Stephens. In this snip, Kate puts together just what kind of appeasement is going on between the human kumbhs and the dominant nomari.

Kate controlled her deep surge of revulsion. Hadn’t she seen the signs? Heard the glassmakers explain it? They’d explained only a small part. A sliver. The kumbhs of Eshuun actually picked some of their sons—and maybe their daughters too—to be raised, apart and in special ways, to be mated to the nomari. Her stomach turned sour. She had thought—had hoped—the process would be more like what she had observed at the Kumbh Kaldarim, a youth gently raised in his own house, perhaps catching a queen’s eye, with matters to be arranged by his parents and people concerned for his well-being. Or had that, too, been a misplaced assumption on her part?
A sacrifice, she realized, watching the elder women of the Kumbh Pattaim as they hovered about Ureyt and the two nomari scribes who, along with two scribes from the kumbh, recorded the transaction. These women are offering the boy in return for favors from the ruling race. It made an obscene kind of sense. Young men, like cattle on Old Earth, like the twining wrist lizards of Bodette’s Planet, had become a form of currency. And the kumbhs, very clearly, traded human flesh. How far did it go? Did they offer to foster children displaying promising skills in their trades, send their own daughters or sons off for marriages of alliance, or to be bonded into the work forces of neighboring kumbhs? As for the nomari... male bodies were currency.
Stringers, she thought, I want to get out of here. I need to get to someplace clean.

I just got an update email telling me that half and quarter star ratings are now a thing.

So there's no reason now to not buy a copy of my book to then rate there!

“No Quarter, No Return”

No one can beat the level 256 kill screen ghost. Art by me for October’s #SciFanSat theme of SPIRIT! Authors, 14 days remain until submissions are due on October 22nd. Full details at scifansat.com/landing.html!

#SFF #AmWritingScifi #AmWritingFantasy #WritingPrompts

A science-fantasy horror illustration of the level 256 kill screen ghost of urban arcade legend since 1980. It is a simple, 2-D cartoonish sheet-style ghost of 8-bit raster graphics and neon mazes brought to a phantasmal electron wireframe 4-D reality of purple video distortion. Its victims — and none skilled enough to unlock the level 256 glitch ever escape it — are said by some to compress inward into nothingness at its touch, starting with a scream from an impossibly widening mouth folding in upon itself.

"Kindness" in SCI-FI: often acts as a Revolutionary Force that defies Cold Logic and Survival-of-the-Fittest Rules -- a Weapon against FEAR to Save the Day. In THE DRAGON'S GLARE, Una reminds Ashcroft at the Kim Lau Memorial Arch: "People in Chinatown ... are Americans". #SFF #scifi #booksky #books

From Miraculous Horrors: The big lizard thing is after them and they've taken refuge in the truck. #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #SciFi #ScienceFiction #SFF

It paced, whipping its long, fat tail from side to side, leaving deep ruts in the sand. Rain ran from its armored body in sheets.
“You’re going to have to shoot it,” Dainn said.
“Me?” said Yago. “You’re the fucking muscle. You shoot it!”
The animal snorted, lurched past the rear windows, and vanished behind the truck.
“Oh, fuck,” said Yago. “Did I close the back door?”
Silence followed. Then a creak, a small thing, like a hinge in need of oil.
The back of the truck sagged. Something fell. A lot of something. Loaded canvas bags, boxes, and crates.
“Fuuuuuuuck,” Yago said.
