Check it out, guys!  I’m working on a new story before “Treat Me Kindly” gets published!  Some may say I’m crazy, but… well I am crazy, but this was actually done some time ago and I’m just editing/snazzing it up before sending it to publishers.

This is a gay romance story that suddenly turned novel length (oops?)  It’s kinda got a crime thriller vibe, with some supernatural elements mixed in and a touch bit of horror?  There’s a brief description below followed by a snippet of the two main boys in the story and how they interact with one another  :)

Warnings:  Geekery, cute boys doing cute boy things, me trying to tempt you with my writing more

Brief synopsis:  When something tragic happens in your life you want nothing more than to close your eyes, go to sleep, and make all of the pain go away.  For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that.  When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated.  Gable does the same thing he did when his grandfather died back when he was a little boy; he closes his eyes and imagines a world where his loved one is still alive.

Only, when Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive!

Gable discovers something very peculiar about himself.  There’s a place inside of his head where another Gable Peterson exists. This other Gable tells him that he has the power to go back and keep Avery from dying.  Of course, Gable doesn’t believe anything that he’s hearing.

Until Avery dies for the second time.  

Shortly after, Gable finds himself back at day one.  Now he’s more determined than ever to save his boyfriend.

But is it worth the hardship he’s about to face?

This isn’t just some accident that happens to Avery.  Gable’s boyfriend is murdered in cold blood by someone who the media has called “The Horrific Homophobe” or “The Double H Murderer.”  This killer roams the streets of Minneapolis, kidnapping gay men who turn up dead in a week’s time.  They’re not just brutally killed, there are derogatory words written all over their bodies in a terrifying display of the hell they had suffered through during the week.  Oddly enough, along with words like FAGGOT and QUEER and HOMO are compliments of nice eyes or beautiful smile and other charming words that have no business being anywhere near such hatred.  Gable suddenly finds himself tracking down a killer, but can he save Avery in time?

*gasp*  A new story has emerged!  Dun dun dunnnnn!

brichibiwritesthings:

Hello dear followers.  In case you missed it (though you probably didn’t because I keep spazzing about it) I am releasing a book.  It’s an urban supernatural crime thriller full of strange deaths that have been happening in the city where the only clue tends to be some sort of animal, or part of an animal (bird feathers, for example).  Today, I want to post a small snippet from the book.  Currently, it’s being assigned an editor, then that whole process can begin  :)

This is a small scene between two main characters:  Alex Sampson (the detective in charge of the strange murder case) and Nicholas Ryker (geeky friend extraordinaire)

Warnings for this snippet:  Friendly banter

Story up to this point:  A rock star has been found dead and the only clue is a small butterfly.

***

“Any word Nick-Nack?”  

“It’s still Nicholas, Alex.”

Nicholas ‘Nick-Nack’ — it’s still Nicholas, Alex — Ryker sits at his computer, several windows open and showing different pictures of butterflies.  His eyes scan each box, closing the ones he doesn’t need and opening up five more in a matter of seconds.  At least, it would be seconds, if not for the outdated technology of the city’s finests.  What kind of officers of the law are they when they can’t even afford decent internet?

“Isn’t that it?”  Alex points at one of the butterflies on the screen, standing behind Nicholas now.  

“No,”  Nicholas says, “That’s not the right shade of purple in its wings.”

“Looks like it to me.”

“Well it’s not.”  

“How can you tell?”

Nicholas spins around in his computer chair to look up at Alex. He’s wearing a pair of large, black glasses, the thick frames wrapped around eyes that are bright like green Christmas lights.  His hair is a couple of different shades like browning autumn leaves, the strands sticking up thanks to a handful of hair gel.  A black and white striped shirt covers his thin build, tucked into a pair of crisp blue jeans.  He doesn’t look like he’s a part of the police force, his skin is smooth and the perfect shade of baby pink unlike Alex’s rough texture.  His hours are spent on the computer and he doesn’t have the ‘luxury’ of investigations, crime scenes, and living on energy drinks and packaged Japanese noodles.  

“It’s too light, Alex,”  Nicholas says, voice laced with disdain, “God, didn’t you learn basic colors in elementary school?”

“Yeah.  Red blue and whatever the hell,”  then Alex smirks, “I know how you know the difference.  It’s because you’re-”

“Gay.  Yes.  Yes I am gay and I know colors.”

Alex attempts to ruffle Nicholas’ hair and fails, the gel forcing him to smash the molded hair down like a crispy pancake.  It springs back up as soon as Alex moves his hand away, “Damn, how do you get your hair like that?”

Nicholas smiles, “It’s a secret amongst us gay men.  If you join the club I’ll let you know.”

“Nick-Nack I’ve told you that if you grow breasts and stop standing in line at midnight for hard to pronounce video games I’ll give you a shot.”

Nicholas sighs and says it again.  “It’s still Nicholas, Alex.”

*gasp*  Can this be?  A scene from my book?  You bet!  Be sure to follow the writing blog for more snippets from my book and other upcoming projects.  Tell your friends.  Tell the dog.  Tell the mailman.  Tell everyone!  But especially the puppy because I love puppies  ^^;;;  

brichibiwritesthings:

O.K. So bookmarks are actually pretty spendy to have made, especially for the amount I want for our tables at conventions. But my wonderful partner gave me the idea of making business cards with my writing blog listed on it, for now, and then when the book comes out I can splurge for bookmarks and put links on where it can be purchased :)  This would hopefully gain followers at conventions, where I can talk about the book and tease at it, and the blog would have links of where the book can be purchased anyway  :)

So here’s what I’m thinking for the cards. The snippet on the back is from a crime scene in the book ^^  I thought it would be best to pick a crime scene of some sort to get people interested.

Thoughts?

Reblogging for advertising myself!  Be sure to follow the writing blog for more details  :)

brichibiwritesthings:

Here it is, guys.  Many thanks to Dawne Dominique for making such an amazing cover!  Along with the cover is a quick synopsis of the story so you know what to look forward to  :)

***

Everything that can go wrong has gone far beyond wrong for Matthew Sharpton.  After his beautiful fiancee decides to upgrade to a better man, Matthew is forced to move into the zero-star establishment of his parents’ basement. Roommates with his shattered dreams and a father that disapproves of his entire existence, Matthew is now jobless, womanless, and every other less you can think of.  The only thing he has going for him is a tiny pink bird he picked up at an animal auction.  But apparently, Matthew can’t even properly pick pets.  Instead of a bird he finds himself with a gorgeous, naked woman who seems to think that he’s her master.  

“Treat me kindly,” she says, but the hidden message in the bottle whispers to Matthew, “…or else.”

Elsewhere, deep within the busy walls of city-tropolis, Detective Alex Sampson is enjoying the days of flipping on his sirens and watching traffic part for him as if he’s royalty.  He gets a call for a recent homicide and rushes to one of the finest condominiums in the city.  Unsurprisingly, no one is mourning the death of animal cruelty expert number one, Frank Marko.  After being shamed out of his career for participating in dog fights, his last chance for redemption — and good P.R. — rested at a prestigious animal charity auction.  With a promise of something “rare and exotic,” the punk rocker apparently got way more than he could’ve possible bargained for.  Alex finds him dead in his lavish home, the only clue to his demise a small bruise on his neck and the beautiful butterfly found on the corpse.

Alex turns to his friend and colleague “Nick-Nack” — it’s still Nicholas, Alex — for leads in regards to the butterfly.  There’s just one teeny, tiny, colossal problem.  Butterflies don’t bite, don’t sting, and this particular breed found on Marko’s body is extinct.  It’s been awhile since Alex has been in detention, but he swears that “extinct” is another way of saying “dead from now until forever more.”  On top of that, the body count grows higher and more grotesque by the day.  

Isn’t being a detective grand?

*gaaaaaaaaaaasp*  GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This story means a lot to me.  It’s the first original story I’ve completed of this length and the one I’ve been trying to get published.  At the moment, there’s actually a publisher interested and I’m reading over the contract, so yay!  It’s come a long way, like most writings tend to do.  I actually started it back in college, got to about chapter five I believe, and then… everything changed — including my style of writing.  The main character is completely different than he was before, the ending is different, there’s characters who weren’t there before… it’s just all a part of the writing process.

This scene snippet takes place about, hmmm… close to the hallway mark, I’d say.  I hope you all enjoy it, and look forward to seeing it published *keeps fingers crossed about that*

Quick Summary:  It’s just another dead ex-rockstar for detective Alex Sampson.  When Frank Marko is found dead in his luxury condo, police find that the only clue to his untimely demise is a small butterfly resting by the body.  It turns out that there’s an auction that happens in the city where the wealthy and glamorous get together and bid on rare animals.  However, these animals hold a secret: they can turn human like us.  These pets are more than willing to be loyal and obedient, but there’s one rule you must always follow by:

Treat them kindly.  Or else.

Genre:  Urban Supernatural, Mystery, Crime Thriller

Warnings:  (for this part)  blood, gore, disturbing imagery, violence

Random Note:  This story is probably the most violent thing I’ve ever written.  Oddly enough, my mother absolutely loves it, lol!

All right, guys, this is my disturbing messed up I need to seek professional help baby.  This is the story that the publisher is interested in.  It’s just a teaser, but please give it a read, let me know what you think.  Is it something you’d pick up and check out?

And be sure to follow my writing blog for more original and fandom writings, particularly on snow days like this one  ^^

So we just edited the story again and added some stuff, took out some stuff, did some general stuffs, and stuff.  Anyhow, in this snippet, Fagan, Alix, and Katalynne are trying to figure out things about the demons who are now in their basement and several things their old friend, Xaver, left behind before he was killed.

I wanted to post this part because it has a lot of dialogue between the group, so you get a feel for how they are around each other.  That and I really like writing Katalynne, like a lot, she’s like awesome secretary-chan and I love her to pieces.  This piece is pretty plot heavy, as important things are discovered.

So Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller is the joint story my partner and I have been working on since, well… college.  Back then it was a roleplay we’d do with anime and video game characters, then at some point we realized that the likes of Gaara from Naruto wasn’t really Gaara anymore… 

And thus, this series was born  :)  

Other parts can be read here for those in the mood for urban supernatural full of demons that live in our world.  It takes place in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and actual places in the Twin Cities actually show up (we drive around a lot and map out where places are in the story).

No major warnings for the story, not the first book anyway.  And, of course, it’s just going to be little teasers, no full chapters or anything like that since we are working to get this published.  So far it’s on the, “one publisher is interested and one agent is interested, let’s see how this goes,” stage.  It’s already had some much needed edits thanks to the agent’s suggestions  :)

And reblogging to my normal blog because I can?  YOU SHOULD READ HUNTERS!  Urm… that is the extent of my advertising skills early in the morning… 

Check out the Hunters blog where the story bits will be posted:  Please notice me, senpai!

Check out my writing blog where all of my writings will be posted, not just Hunters:  You still haven’t noticed me, please notice me senpai!

huntersseries:

Sorry for not updating this in a while, we’re working hard on editing the story since there is both an agent and a publisher interested, so we’re trying to get it to its absolute best! 

Here’s a quick snippet via Katalynne Cove — Fagan’s lovely secretary — and a small explanation of what Hunters are (and some possible hints of an OTP?)  Takes place fairly early in the story?

A bit more of Hunters:  Seeking the Storyteller.  I hope people are enjoying these snippets.  Remember, you can follow the blog for updates and information  :)

So, who is Mira exactly?  She’s been mentioned before.  She’s a key part to all of the stories in general since she is the daughter of the Storyteller.  With such a prestigious title, you’d think she be less chipper.  Unfortunately, for Cyn, that’s not the case at all.

Warnings:  Sunshine, rainbows, happiness, and a very bouncy fox.

More of the original story!  Seriously, original writings are probably going to take over my life for a bit  ^^;;;  I’m sure I’ll get back to headcanons soon enough, or that pop idol Naoto fic, but I gotta pimp out my original work if I’m going to land this whole writing thing!

If you actually want to keep track, check out the blog  :)

huntersseries:

Oh wow, we actually have followers!  Awesome!  It’s Monday morning, time for a snippet of the story!  Cyn is one of my favorite characters in the story as a whole.  She’s got a whole lot of attitude and it’s a bad idea to piss her off, but as you get to know her you realize… it’s still a bad idea to piss her off  ^^;;;

This section also introduces Haven and a fight scene in the story.  Fight scenes man, they’re interesting to write.  You sort of have a plan then as you’re doing it you’re telling yourself, “Did this character attack yet?  He probably should so he’s not left out in the battle.”

This takes place after the last snippet, in with Fagan and Alix received a call from their old friend, Xaver.

Another snippet of the story posted.  Enjoy!

Here’s a little peak at part of the first chapter.  Now that Alix and his partner, Fagan, have to deal with a demon, they learn that explaining the basics of their world can be annoying and frustrating fun ^^

Warnings:  Humorous character interactions

Notes:  I think I’m going to stick with posting small little snippets and teasers instead of like, full chapters, just because I want to wet your whistle and make you interested in the story  ^^
