 | Inches to An Oyster | jaksnipe | Novel | Mystery and Crime | 5 | n/a | Aug 1, 2011 |
Summary:okay... im going to attempt to write this in very small chapters, one per day.
This is a crime story set in the fictional town of Cotton Creek, Texas. Part murder story, part character drama and part love story, it's a look at the clash between traditional values, modern times, and the unfairness of fate. I hope you enjoy it!
i appreciate your feedback on the form as well as the content, naturally.Chapters: |
 | The Ego of Cool | m w mccoy | Novel | Science Fiction | 3 | n/a | Jun 17, 2011 |
Summary: (Ao, this is a Screen-Story written in the language of the 2050's. Everything is TV and Fanboy heavy, so read it as if you are watching it on Network 23.)
It's a hardboiled blood and techno thriller set 45 minutes into a future manipulated by deception, desperation, and despair. 3 differnt character arcs, each with a different writting style and color, merge into a single thread.
THE COP: Officer Vickey Worthey works 4 the nearly unstoppable Gov-Corp monstrosity called the Truth Maintenance System. The last Work Order went bad, real bad. It got her killed, a cloned heart, and an E-ticket ride to the Twilight Zone.
THE CRIMINAL: Juan Sanchez, 4 days out of prison and with debts to pay, immediately joins a mercenary gig directed by a mildly insane Colonel McLove. Juan wants 2 change, but he is El Alacranro, a scorpion hunter, a killer of killers, and can never change.
THE CASUALTY: Switch is the Biological flesh around “the Wire,” a piece of Outlaw Technology fetal graphed to brainstem. The memory is fuzzy, but the bruises testify 2 violence as she hits reality hard, prison cell top bunk as a Blank, no file, no record, and no past, except a conviction of Murder.Chapters: |
 | Kings & Queens | amarie | Novel | Thrillers | 1 | n/a | May 21, 2011 |

She struggles to find and defeat the would-be-killers before they act, but they have an agenda far bigger than she ever assumed. Violence rocks the town, leaving residents reeling and drawing Majesty into the middle of it all.

 | We Own The President | brucedeitrickprice | Novel | Thrillers | 2 | n/a | Jun 5, 2010 |
Summary:"We Own The President" (set a few years in future; 116,000 words) Why it’s unique: father-daughter buddy story meets 007-type thriller...
Harry Evans works for secret government agencies, sees himself as the last line of defense against the evil people in the world. He’s good at it.
Kate Evans, studying for an MBA at Wharton, is contemptuous of her father and has as little to do with him as possible. After all, he’s nothing but a killer...
Readers get a big swirling thriller--mad-genius twins try to "own the President"--plus entertaining inter-generational conflict.
Harry Evans, daughter Kate, and her friend Carmen are increasingly in the center of the vortex, not sure what is real or where their loyalties should be. The country is coming apart. President Simpson declares war on Mexico, and hints at worst. Kate and Harry, alone against the world, start to function as partners -- but don’t try to tell Kate that. The question is, can these two alphas stop squabbling long enough to save the country from a conspiracy to seize control of the president and to accomplish this in a way that conceals what has happened.
Any feedback is welcome. Chapters: |
 | A World Within | BukowskisMuse | Novel | Literary Fiction | 5 | n/a | Nov 18, 2006 |
Summary:In this era where science fiction is becoming science fact, technology is mixing with strongly held myths, and art is blending the chaos to shine a light on the rapid changes, we will either destroy ourselves or else learn to live in peace, without and within.
This is the story of a particularly gifted young psychic, Aurora Swift, and the psychiatrist who tries to unravel her worlds, and in doing so unintentionally comes into contact with interconnected universal mysteries, dimensions, ancient beings and civilizations. Mixture of fantasy and reality genres. Mainly, the two settings are the modern day present with a bit of government conspiracy, and a sort of underworld that Aurora calls the Night World she escapes into to keep her sanity intact what with the pressures of her life. We meet a lot of other psychics in Aurora's circle and travel all over the U.S. and the world in search of some type of salvation.
** The first six or so chapters are non-linear and deliberately jarring as Aurora is experiencing a crossover of dimensions and times that will be sorted out in later chapters.//
If I were to summarize the emotional stew or message of the story, it might go something like this:
It is easy to wonder if our lives are worthless and actions are pointless because all will be forgotten one day. If every inventor, thinker, artist, intuitive being, and scientist followed through with this line of thinking, we’d still be in the Dark Ages or perhaps cause a new one. In this time of flourishing light, we need not allow the darkness of short-sightedness envelop us. The power is within us to make this world whatever we want it to be and become. And yes, one can make a difference with a little help from her friends.//
**NOTE: I am on this site for constructive criticism. If you believe my work is only worthy of a 1 or 2 and feel like writing a snide scathing review or telling me how to write according to you, go somewhere else. My work isn't perfect, but I what I don't need is people who wish to feel superior by cutting me down or taking out their bad day on me. If you "don't get it" either ask me why something is written as it is or read something else. That I've had to explain this is sad, but there are plenty of A-holes in the world and that is reflected by similar percentages on this site. For those of you here to learn and grow and offer positive suggestions: Welcome.
