Fugitive - Ch. 62
Chapter 62 - Going HomeBryce“She totally knew everything,” Thea exclaimed. Persephone was back sleeping in the hidden room, while we gathered in the kitchen. There were seven of us in total, including Lilith and Esme, which made everything feel somewhat crowded. Thea was still avoiding Rose, oth...
Fugitive - Ch. 61
Here's the chapter, much later than I was expecting. I've already jumped right into writing chapter 62, and I'll release it the moment it's finished. <3 <3--------Chapter 61 - Back to HelBryce“She never even realized that Thea was behind it the entire time!” Aurora doubled over i...

Chapter 60 - Sibling RivalryThea“Alright, here’s the deal, you two. I’m not going to kill you, but I’d also rather not have to devote two of me to keeping you restrained while I help Lilith fight Aris.” I clapped my hands together with an award-winning smile. “So! Just real quick, I need...
Fugitive - Ch. 59
Here's Tuesday's chapter really late, and I'll be dropping Thursday's chapter a bit earlier than usual in a few minutes. I'll probably try to get another editing pass done on both of them tomorrow morning, but I'm too tired to do it now.--------------Chapter 59 - The Obsidian...

Chapter 58 - TartarusTheaWe stepped through the gate into Tartarus only to be assaulted on all sides by heavily armored soldiers pointing guns and shouting commands.“We’re here on official business. I need to speak to Lady Tenebris as soon as possible.” Lilith held up her crest with both hands...
Fugitive - Ch. 57
Chapter 57 - AnswersBryceMalvoch was struggling to fight against Thea’s command. I had never heard a demon’s true name spoken, but there was a tangible power in the words and I could feel it lingering in the air. Almost as if Thea had just cast an extremely powerful spell. I subconsciously looke...
Fugitive - Ch. 56
Hey all!I'm very interested in trying to finish book two before the new year. I'm not actually sure if it's possible for me, since there are about four more chapters I have planned, but I'm going to try anyway and see what happens.IF I can get it done, then I'm planning on postin...
Fugitive - Ch. 55
Chapter 55 - Giving up the PrizeAnali“Fuckin’ hells, Ja’kol, how bad is it?” I stopped to hit my head against the wall outside the cargo-bay where we were keeping Sora. We had just finished interrogating all three of the prisoners. Well, two and a half of the prisoners, since Ithnaa was stil...

Hey all! This is a bit of a shorter (and later) one for the holidays! I hope you enjoy it!--------------------------------- Chapter 54 - Changing TacticsBryce“Peace, please Mr. Vurdex.” I held up a placating hand before he could object. The temperature in the room had dropped even further, and i...
Fugitive - Ch. 53
A little later than I was hoping, but we got there!Thank you all for your patience.--------------Chapter 53 - VurdexBryce“Thea, are you sure this is right?” This was way worse than I had been expecting, and I honestly wasn’t sure I could make it work.“Yep, that’s the pair.” Thea was smil...
Fugitive - Ch. 52
Bonus Chapter!Chapter 52 - InterrogationSamiraThe alien man gently placed binders on my wrists that forced them to cross over each other in front of me. He then activated them, causing me to flinch as they tightened painfully and a thin layer of metal flowed to conceal the locking mechanism.“I apo...
Fugitive - Ch. 51
Chapter 51 - TakenSamiraExplosions rocked the ship and alarms started to blare as the crew panicked. The captain shouted orders to get a medical team to the bridge, and I reached over to scritch behind Sora’s ear before grabbing another fistful of popcorn.The movie Jayne recommended to me had been...
Fugitive - Ch. 50
Here's chapter 50! A little later than I was hoping, but I got there. I'm finishing up on the edit for 51, but it should be up in about 15-20mins.--------------------------Chapter 50 - AwakeningTheaI broke the kiss with Bryce while wearing a huge, stupid grin. “Wow, if this is the sort of ...
Quick update on Chapter 50...
This chapter is kicking my butt trying to get it written, and I've had to rewrite it like three times just to get it right. I think I'm going to get it with this pass, and hopefully get it out this evening.The good news is that chapter 51 is already written and waiting to be edited. So, once...
Fugitive - Ch. 49
Chapter 49 - Soul (Re)-searchingBryceIt had taken nearly twenty-eight hours of non-stop work to rebuild Thea’s meridians. I was nearing the end of it, and the complicated process had become almost automatic. Which left my mind to explore options for repairing her core while my finger traced new pa...
Fugitive - Ch. 48
Chapter 48 - ShatteredBryceAwareness slowly crept back to me. Trying to process anything felt like wading through a pool of honey, and it took far too long for me to realize I was lying on a very comfortable bed. An eternity later and I recognized the smell of incense in the air. Eventually, I was a...
Updated Cover for Executive!
I finally got the updated ebook cover for Executive back from Rebecca Frank. I'm still waiting to get the print and audio covers before I update anything, but I'm expecting those later this week.Overall, I'm incredibly happy with it! Bryce's outfit doesn't actually exist in the b...
Fugitive - Ch. 47
Chapter 47 - Prince of the Nine HellsTheaI had never actually met Orrid before, which wasn’t exactly surprising since there were a lot of gods, and I hadn’t met most of them. The only thing that made Orrid different was that he was the ruler of the nine hells, and considering we were in the nine...
Fugitive - Ch. 46
Hey all!Real quick update, I turned payments back on for December and it's only like 40% because I forgot to turn them off again. As it stands, I have a few more chapters already written that are waiting to be edited, but I didn't feel like this was the right place in the story for them.So, ...

Chapter 45 - The Temple, Part 2BryceI took another sip from my beer and sighed in contentment. Elven wine was unsurpassed, dwarves did whiskey, halfling brandy was to die for, and gnomish cocktails were literal magic.But humans, they discovered how to brew beer before they even figured out written l...
Fugitive - Ch. 44
Chapter 44 - The TempleTheaThe streets of Hades were just as crowded as I had been expecting. In fact, it seemed a little worse than usual for some reason. I had Bryce give me anything she was worried about getting stolen to keep in my spacial storage. Then I took her hand and dragged her through th...
Fugitive - Ch. 43
Chapter 43 - Onward, to HadesBryce“Is it going to be a problem arriving so late?” I asked Thea as we walked through the streets of Hel. It was already well into the night by the time we arrived at Lilith’s place, and that was hours ago.“We’ll be fine.” Thea slipped past a slow-moving cou...
Fugitive - Ch. 42
Chapter 42 - Side JobAnali“Is everything okay, Anali?” A smooth, bassy voice asked while I continued to bang my head against the grimy bartop. I paused for just long enough to glare at Zen before continuing with my self-imposed punishment. The large, dark-skinned human chuckled as he sat another...
Fugitive - Ch. 41
Chapter 41 - Leaving HelBryce“Do you have a way to contact Orrid directly?” I asked. From what I could tell, implants were rare in the lower planes, and while they weren’t exactly stuck in the stone ages, they seemed to prefer magic over technology.“Not since he ascended,” Lilith answered ...
Fugitive - Ch. 40
Chapter 40 - PersephoneThea“In that case, please attend to the children, and avoid contact with Thea until I tell you otherwise.” I heard Lilith’s voice from the other side of the door and slowed as I descended the stairs. It hadn’t taken long for me to grab the few things from my room, or t...
Fugitive - Ch. 39
Chapter 39 - Dealing with a DryadBryceThea poured herself more of the sugary cereal with a huge grin on her face. She was already on her fourth bowl, but I really wasn’t in much of a position to judge, since I was finishing up my third. It had been about half an hour since our fight with the demon...
Fugitive - Ch. 38
Chapter 38 - Raith’s FateEsmeRose was taking too long, and it was making me nervous. I was keeping myself busy by pacing outside of the mine while I waited for her to return with Lilith. She had made me wait outside because she didn’t trust me to be in the room if it came to an actual fight. Whi...
Fugitive - Ch. 37
Chapter 37 - Frosty ReceptionThea“Thea? You aren’t supposed to be here!” Pip accused. He was doing his best to hide behind the much larger demon who was standing in front of him. I didn’t recognize the huge four armed monster who was acting as a living shield, but he didn’t look nice and h...
