Once again in the early morning I hear the thunder rolling across my roof. It sounds like Raccoons go-cart racing. I can’t imagine raccoons making that loud a sound running across my roof. I tried to ignore it and just accept that I will never know what it is, but I just couldn’t and a ran outside to my back yard in the dark and rain to see if I could spot anything. Absolute silence. I didn’t make a noise,but my sweet chickies knew something was out there and I heard them making their stomping sound. I wonder if they stomp when they think there is a predator around. I called to them softly, and they stopped stomping. After a few minutes I went back inside. Then the rumbling started again.

FREE for a limited time
In this adult novel, two stagecoaches make stops in different towns across Arizona picking up gunfighters sentenced to hang. The outlaws are taken out into the desert to a place called the circles of death, where there are three imaginary circles drawn. The gunfighters are deposited at the inner circle, with no food or water. Each outlaw has a number and a card with the location of a fully loaded pistol at the second circle, two and a half miles away. A sheriff reads the instructions to each prisoner and, when he is sure they understand, he takes their chains and shackles off and climbs back into the coach. Five miles away at the Third Circle, outriders position themselves with their scoped rifles. Each outrider is a deadly marksman. When they reach the Second Circle, each of the outlaws will find a fully loaded gun with six shots and will know the one and only rule: Kill Everyone Else. If one can survive long enough, he will be rescued and declared the winner, but only one will win. The winner takes all. The rest are left in the desert, dead or dying. The whole thing is a game played by the sheriffs and people in the Arizona Territory. It takes place outside a town called Hell. The winner gets one hundred dollars in gold and is set free. The minimum bet is a twenty dollar gold double eagle. It’s called The Hangman’s Games.

The Debt Collector (Season One)
Susan Kaye Quinn
Genre: Science Fiction | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
What’s your life worth on the open market? In this sexy, gritty future-noir, debt collectors take your life energy and give it to someone more “worthy”… all while paying the price with black marks on their souls. Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat and jackboots–he’s just in it for his cut, the ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, the people who will make the world a better place with their brains, their work, and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja’s sex workers keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane… until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted by a sex worker who isn’t what she seems, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone–a dark pit he’s not sure he’ll be able to climb out of again.
