    Chapter 12 of Witches Posted

    Happy Friday! I present to you Chapter 12 of the Witches of Ming Ung, “Making Peace“: Hardi scoffed. “Give it up. Give us the antidote. They’ll get you eventually, and another ten thousand people might be dead in the meantime.” His jaw set, but he didn’t say anything. “I’ve got a deal for you…” taunted Hardi. I want to go home and play with my computer now.

    “Stealth” posted

    “Stealth“–Chapter 11 of Witches–is up! “Actually,” Darnell said as Hardi’s hand moved toward the comm, “I don’t think we’re going to solve anything over a comm. I want to meet in person.” Hardi hesitated, then said slowly, “I’ll… talk it over with the folks here.” “Hardi!” hissed Robert through the doorway. He crooked a finger hurriedly. “Get off the line.”

    Chapter 10 of Witches posted!

    Chapter 10, “Opening Salvo” is posted: “What brings you to my world, little bug?” the colorful woman asked Hardi and Robert.

It had seven heads by the end. “But how do we get you out of here without anyone noticing?” Robert asked absently.

    “Observation” posted!

    Chapter 8 of The Witches of Ming Ung, “Observation” is up, and picks up right where “Interception” left off: “Hardi, why in all the worlds wouldn’t we tell Wilder about this?” Robert asked, waving a hand at her comm. He’d just listened to the ransom note for the second time, and was sitting at the desk with his feet propped up. “Yet. Not tell him yet.” Hardi stood still in the middle of the room, staring at the floor with her hands tucked in her pockets. “And I… don’t know,” she said slowly. After that deep voice had threatened to go on “vacation” for a week, Hardi had listened to…
