The Secret of Your Success–AlmostAnAuthor

Hello CF world! My latest fantasy/sci-fi blog post has gone live over at AlmostAnAuthor. *jumps up and down in excitement* This month isn’t necessarily about craft. Rather, my words are meant to be encouraging in this uncertain world of writing and publishing. It’s no secret that it’s becoming more difficult to get published in Christian publishing houses for fantasy and sci-fi writers. So here’s one way you can change your perspective and find success right now, while contin

Flash Fiction Friday: Hibernation Technology

“Mama, when will we get to meet Granny?” Benny sat a little higher in his booster seat in the back of the car. At eight, he could barely see her reflection in the rearview mirror. Susan bit her lip and concentrated on the traffic. “As soon as the UWG—the United World Government—finishes building the colony, sweetie.” She struggled to swallow. “What d’ya mean, Benny?” Six-year-old Lydia gave her brother a scowl. “We’re going to meet Granny right now.” “Nah. I don’t mean our vi

Flash Fiction Friday: Wash, Rinse, Repeat

Amelia walked the familiar route to work just like she did every Tuesday. Down Sixth Street, west on College Avenue, to the corner stop light on Trade Street. A March chill forced her to pull her coat tighter. She frowned. The light turned green, she stepped off the curb— Only to be yanked back onto the sidewalk. She stifled a cry as a cherry colored BMW that had run the red light missed her by inches. Adrenaline slammed through her veins. “Are you okay?” The man was tall wit

“Donna? It’s been so long. You look great! How much weight have you lost?” Rose gave her old friend a hug as they stood in the check-out line at the store. “Over fifty pounds.” Donna’s cheeks glowed with excitement. “I’ve got another twenty to go but I’m happy with my progress so far.” Rose nibbled on her lip, thinking of the twenty she’d like to lose. “Do you belong to a gym?” The grin fell from Donna’s face. “Yes.

Ava ran through her front door gasping for breath. “We’ve got to leave. Now!” “What?” Peter said, jaw wide. “Are you sure?” “They’re coming. We don’t have much time!” Tears swam in her eyes. She jumped at a noise outside. “Okay….” Peter glanced around. “No!” Ava’s voice trembled. “There’s no time! They’re coming!” Peter bit back the agony of leaving behind so many memories. “So be it. Stay close behind me.” They fled their home just as a man and woman rounded the corner, voic

“Come on, Lettie. It’s getting dark. The Wisps will be out soon.” Emerson looked around the thick forest, her blue eyes wide. “Stop with the toddler-tales,” Lettie groaned and plucked another jacaranda blossom from a tree. “You’re almost eight. You don’t really believe all that fairy nonsense, do you?” She sniffed the flower and walked deeper into the woods. Emerson tried to swallow but it ended up a hiccup. She scuttled after her sister. “But Lettie! What if they’re true? Wh

The alarm yanked Ruby from her half-dream, not that she had gotten much sleep anyway. She rubbed her eyes and charged like a mad bull up the stairs of the hundred-year-old house to face her new roommate. “Jenna!” she yelled as she slammed open the door. “What in the world were you doing last night? All night long all I heard were footsteps marching through the living room and someone in that squeaky rocking chair.” Jenna sat up in bed with a scowl, one eye still closed. “What

“Jen!” I gasp, eyes now open as I sit up in bed. The spot beside me is empty. Where is my husband? Chilly air clings to my skin as I slip from beneath the covers and cross the room into the hallway. The stale scent of tacos I made the night before still lingers and my stomach winces. Why does this all feel so familiar? The living room is vacant, although sunlight streams through the cracks of the blinds. No husband. I rub my eyes and search upstairs, then the basement. Still

Jill wiped the windshield of condensation. A chill buzzed across her skin. How could it be both cold and humid? She shook her head and squinted against the rain that pounded the windows. Was that a form up ahead? Her car crept to a stop and a thrash of rain assaulted it, the sound of a thousand angry drums beating the roof. Yes. There was a person walking on the side of the road. A young girl, no coat, hair plastered to her head, arms wrapped around her body. Jill unrolled th

The cat needed food. Joanie groaned and looked at the clock beside her bed. One thirty-two A.M. Fantastic. She crawled out of the sheets and took care of business as fast as her tired muscles would allow. With one final pat on Max’s head and a prayer that he wouldn’t wake her again, she climbed into bed, settled into warm arms and a firm chest that welcomed her. She nuzzled in, breathed the spicy scent of cologne, relaxed into the embrace. Her eyes shot wide and she gasped. S
