Three rejections and four submissions sent. The Silverblade Prophecy podcast novel is finally finished, and I’m now writing the rest of Book II.
Fear and Trembling Update: “Abaddon, Dark Angel of the Abyss”
“Abaddon, Dark Angel of the Abyss”
by Ada Milenkovic Brown
Tease:
His clothing shredded from him as his skin pushed outward and hardened into green and olive mottled chiton. Below the chiton of his abdomen, his legs were fusing together, blood, muscles, cartilage, bone, interweaving and dissolving. His screams were now a chittering. He felt no tongue, for his mouth seemed to have parted into something hard which clicked against itself.
He stared at the others. They had fanglike insect manibles below human cheeks and eyes. Their hair flailed above their heads, gorgon like, a diabolical halo. Human locusts, they hovered above the rocks, even the ones that had writhed on the ground now rising into the air. Their legs were gone, replaced by a segmented tail, a cream-colored maggot that curled in and whipped out, ending in a claw-like barb that dripped a fluorescent green fluid.

Fear and Trembling Update: “Tailings”
“Tailings”
by Rhian Waller
Tease:
I couldn’t hear Mam or Dad anymore.
Damp was soaking through my jogging pants and my fingers were scuffed and sore. I cwtched my knees up to my chest and set my chin between them. It was cold, and the wind ran spirals around the heap. When I looked up I saw clear sky. The moon was in its last quarter and not so bright that it smothered the starfire.
Something shuffled to the left of me and my spine snapped as straight with shock. There might be foxes out here, or a badger with jaws like a vice.
‘Who are you?’ said the thing beside me, and I almost swallowed my tongue.

Three more stories sent out into Submission Limbo and one 1-day rejection.
I only have one Silverblade Prophecy episode left to finish (Yay!). Then I can focus on getting enough paying work done to afford the trip to Dragon*Con as well as have a little for Context.
Also, the first episode of Tom Crean: Sailor on Ice went live on May 18. Yours Truly did a few background vocals on it.
Hmmm, looks like I have a portfolio of voice acting clips now….
