SFFSat - April 12

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday (SFFSat) is a place where a bunch of us post snippets from our written works and also shoot the breeze a little. And before I get ahead of myself, thanks and appreciation as always to those who stop by and leave fantastic comments.

Wow, it's been quite a while since I last signed up for SFFSat. Busy reading, writing and living and trying to make more time to do those things. On the reading front, I've been ploughing through my reading list. On the writing front, I've been focusing mainly on finishing the Jax Marlin series. Just 3 more short stories to go to complete the 10-series. Getting there. On the living front, I've been diving straight in, tuning out social media and tuning into live media. Meaning, actual humans around me. Wow, I think social media is much easier. Haha! Anyways, if I can't get to read everyone else's snippets this weekend, it's because I'm busy (live media-ing) babysitting the nephews and may need a couple days of recovery after. :) But I hope everyone enjoys my offering...

This snippet comes from THE EDGE OF THE BLADE, #6 in the To Catch a Marlin short story series. It's scheduled for release April 18.

In this snippet, we have our favourite vigilante watching as her copper, Pedroni, has a private moment dealing with an issue. As Jax stands guard, giving Pedroni some space, they are surrounded by a group of junkies.

My copper. Jax marveled at the sight. What a gorgeous sight.

With a final kick to the ribs, her copper straightened up and nodded as if pleased.

“We can’t leave him here,” Pedroni sniffed and swiped the back of a hand across his mouth. “No telling what these junkies will do.”

“Oh, he’ll be fine.”

“Jax, come on, you promised.”

“They won’t eat him. You’re confusing them with zombies.”
