James’s Note: Home is where the heart is. When you’re a Witcher Man, it’s also where the magical weapons are. I thought a lot in the early days of this story about how Daniel would defend his home. Pursued by vampiric killers, we’ll have to see if his defenses are enough. I glanced at Israel, …

Sharon’s note: So, yeah, even though I have like a dozen other series going on here I’m going to start another one. Because, ya know, inspiration. So continues the story of Molly and Ki . . . er, Panther. His name is Panther now, because Kitty is undignified. Warning: All bad grammar in this story …
Sharon’s Note: So, this year’s Halloween throw down is alien themed. Not something I’ve done before, but challenge accepted. Now this is an idea I’ve seen done before, but I’ve always wanted to play around with it. I will totally win this year. Warning: Creative plagiarism. It’s what authors do. “It’s freezing out here, Jenna. …
James’s Note: Last year’s Halloween competition was clown themed. This year we’re doing aliens. You could probably do a Stephen King IT thing and do both, but I’m just not that in love with clowns. As always, you should totally vote for me. It had been six days since I lost my job at the …

Sharon’s Note: One of the hardest things about an injury or disability is to talk about it. It’s something you absolutely should do, but it may require practice. Warning: Author cloaking issues in fiction. That’s what fiction is for, after all. “The short version? Zombies. I got bit.” My hand drifted several inches towards the …
James’s Note: This article is all about making old story tropes fresh and interesting. Old stories told in a new way are some of my favorites. We also talk about my favorite trope twist, the Magic Pixie Dream Girl. TLDR: There are no new ideas, so feel free to use the old ones, just do …
Okay, last year we had a little competition where James and Sharon faced off on who could write the best Halloween story. It’s round two, but we need a new subject. Last year it was clowns, so what do you want to see this year. Vote for your choice below or comment if there’s something …
James’s Note: In this episode, we get a look into the dystopia that is vampire society in most urban fantasies. Any resemblance to real life governments is entirely up for interpretation. Caesar turned his icy gaze on me. He definitely had the personal magnetism to be a vampiric leader. “You know why I joined the …
