I like Stir-fry a lot.
Microwaver, perhaps?
Meatball Maker.
I'll Google kitchen tech and have a little fun. There are probably a bunch related to knives, too.

This is gonna rock! Thanks
Dirk

It's probably a good thing. Maybe crisper for the rifle and toaster for the handgun. I could never warm up to fryer as the main weapon, which led to flesh eater. Actually, all the possible food cooking tech makes for great nonsense. But what would a rice cooker do?

All manufactured by Acme, of course.

I think there would be more information in the scene to clarify whose watch it is. Or, apply a little deep POV: the thief skulked away with John's gold watch. Gets rid of that pesky 'watched.'  Therefore, mine should be: they led Andrew away. I'll see if I can make that fit.

Thank you.

Thanks, Jack. I wasn't aware of that.

What's the point of having a publsher if you have to pay your own promotions? Is the author talking about self-publishing through sites like Amazon?

Deep POV question: should I be trying eliminate all references to 'his mother' and 'his father' in favor of just 'Mother' and 'Father'? It reads very weird to me. Less so in chapter two, when Joseph is just four and thinks of them as Mommy and Daddy.

For now ....

Imperials is an odd duck. I originally capitalized all occurences of Imperial based on your observation that it is like Canadian, which made sense. However, I found that inconsistent with every other resource I looked at for usage of imperial. Since Imperials is short for imperial forces, I went with lowercase for that, too. For now. :-)

I'd use OD'd.

The End of Act 1 of Book 1 of 5.

Oh poo!

I disagree about Deux ex Machina. Computers can already perform facial recognition. I could easily see future guns being manufactured so they can't kill heads of state, unarmed children, police, etc. (e.g., guns would have to be updated regularly, like GPS maps, in order for them to keep working; the updates determine who can't be shot at).

Kdot, there's virtually no way she could have stopped all four from entering. It would have gone very quickly and they were all armored. She would have tried to stall them until reinforcements could get there, and would have pumped them for information in the meantime. Firing is necessary only when Cain physically attacks them.

I like disarming them remotely. It's a nice surprise for the reader and a key element to the scene and the actions that follow. I just need to reduce the risk associated with them trying to kill Joseph (e.g., What if the remote disarming failed?). She should be firing as soon as he was being targeted.
