The darkness broke the haze of sleep cleared as Aria woke. She breathed deep the air, recognizing the sweet warmth of rose scented candles. She stretched and opened her eyes to the soft orange of candle light. Her ribs felt tight and compact like a giant vice had been slipped around her waist, back, and […]
“Adam! We can’t keep going into the river! The current is too strong?” “Not long, just a ways…” Adam replied. As the crew jumped into the water, the Weeches reached the banks. “Deeper,” Adam said. “Deeper…” The current pushed as they walked further into the river. It reached their waists. “A little more,” Adam said. […]
“Where are they going?” Norry asked. “Where indeed,” Angela said staring at the horde turning South. “What are we going to do?” Aria asked. “There’s no way we can get around this.” “It looks like a tomato,” Mad Matt said in a low voice. All eyes turned to Matt. He looked sane now more than […]
“Without weapons we need to lay low.” The Captain’s orders echoed through Aria’s head as, one by one, the crew piled out of the boat onto land. “Any sound will draw the Weeches. Any movement will draw in Caius. We have little options and high priorities.” Balancing on Cin’s firm grip, Aria […]
“Not at sea, nor at bay will I sleep again,” Matt howled as he ran up the stairs, plowing ahead with his head down and the bag tucked under his arm. Another bang followed by a shower of debris shielded Matt from view as he slipped behind the Captain’s quarters, taking up a random wrench […]

Welcome to Zombies From Space…and Vampires! This is a blog novel, which means it’s free until it’s done. I write and upload a chapter on occasion…usually a chapter every few weeks depending on my work load and family life. Honestly, I’m astounded at the reception of Zombies from Space…and Vampires. I hadn’t expected it […]
Aria looked over her shoulder at Jay standing on the stairs. “Dinner’s ready.” The sound of food shoved all curiosity from Aria’s mind about a problem and a solution to a vampire venom anecdote. Instead, she scrambled to her feet and all but ran to Jay who led Aria to the deck. The night sky […]
Aria studied the tall Scandinavian dressed too well in leather and swords that dripped from his body. His long blond hair fell well past his shoulders, and the beard made him look too much like the warrior type. The greatsword on his back and the scimitar at his waist added to the look of a […]
“Hello, Hawaii,” Cin said smiling up at the deck where the woman sporting a pair of blond and pink pigtails stood, the rocket launcher still resting on her shoulder. “Captain’s been worried for you, Cinders,” the woman said. “Tell her to grab a Guinness and relax,” Cin said. “I’ll be there soon enough.
