Weekly Update - 10/22/25
Bet that most recent chapter of Quaranteam: Book Two knocked a few socks off, huh? Next up, I'll have a chapter of Brewster's Brood that'll drop today if I'm lucky, tomorrow if I'm not, and I'm going to try and make sure I'm getting something done for Friday or Saturday. ...
Quaranteam: Book Two - Ch. 46
Chapter Forty-Six September 6th, 2021 It didn’t strike Andy as particularly surprising the discussion that happened when they arrived at the White House, but for at least twenty minutes, he was wondering if they were going to be allowed in or arrested. Of course, the person arguing the loudest was...

Okay then! So, after a complicated last few days, I have come through my colonoscopy and things are looking good to fine. For those of you who just want updates on writing itself, you can tune out here, and I'll see you with a new fiction drop in the next day or two, promise. Those of you who wa...

What a weird few months it's been. I know my output has been down, and I can only apologize for that so many times before it starts to feel hollow, but I'm really tryin', folks. I've gotten half-way through a bunch of chapters and then just run out of gas, so I'm trying to circle...

So, what had happened was...Sometimes I wake up with an idea in my head. On Tuesday, I woke up with a large block of content in my head. Usually these are things that I can scribble down into a notebook, or make a handful of notes, and move on with my day. Sometimes I'll write up to a page of a...

Powers Of FourA 16-part superhero storyBy Devin McTaggartPart OneAct One, Scene I – Autumn 2025“You ready, Ben?” Teri’s chipper voice said to me over the phone. Anyone who looked at her would’ve only seen a twenty-something blonde model, and not someone capable of powering Manhattan for a ...
Merlin's Gift - Pt. 4
Chapter Two – Tremendous Brunettes Anyone who tells you Hawaii isn’t amazing is full of shit. Flying there before the full COVID restrictions were off, that was surreal. We didn’t have many choices of planes, and there wasn’t almost anyone on the plane itself. That was the most weird of weir...

So, how about that Intermission (2:i9), huh? Huh? Crazy, right? I know. It's been in the works for quite a while - I knew I wanted to come back to Billy again, and I wanted to wait until the very end before I did it, because I wanted to make sure it had the impact it needed. I also realized why ...
Quaranteam: Book Two - Intermission Nine
Intermission Nine – Billy (revisited) September 3rd, 2021 – Athens, Georgia “Go Bulldogs,” Molly giggled as she crawled off the top of Billy, her crotch still leaking his spend, her legs a little wobbly in their stance. “I think you needed that more than I did, Billy boy.” Billy smiled s...
Happy Anniversary to Us!
Holy hell, has it really been FOUR YEARS I've been doing this now? I could've sworn I started things in 2022, but as I went to put together this post, nope, we launched in 2021, with the first news post to be on September 29, 2021. I want to thank everyone for the ups and downs we've had...
Weekly Update - 9/17/25
What a long, strange week it's been. I went back to where I grew up for my high school reunion and figured I'd probably be made miserable there, simply because I don't have a wife and kids, like literally everybody else I ran into. That said, I also travel extensively, keep my own hours,...
A Pack Of His Own - Ch. 21 (alpha)
Chapter Twenty-One The vampires were starting to come out of the woodwork, quite literally. Each building had a couple of violent looking vampires emerging from them, almost all of them dressed in that biker garb, announcing them as “Crossroads Reapers.” They were big, burly and all of them were...

Chapter Twenty The next few weeks of Will’s life were surprisingly quiet and easy-going. It was nice, and let all his partners spend some serious time getting to know one another, which was something they had all desperately needed. No outside influence, no classes getting in the way – just lots...

I should've suspected these weeks were going to be problematic, but I was optimistic. That's my bad. I got the new Have Totem, Will Travel out to people, and I'm currently sitting in an airport, heading back to my hometown for my high school class reunion, and there's a certain press...
Have Totem, Will Travel - Ch. 3 (alphas)
Chapter Three – “Just a man”The next morning, I woke up to the box with the relic in it leaking green light around the edges where the box wasn’t sealed. The shades of emerald and gold poking out around the edges cast just enough light into my spartan Motel 6 room that was thankfully a good ...

Chapter Two – “Assuming it is a head”Little Larry isn’t a bad guy, but he’s just never been quite up to snuff for the front lines Druid life. Oh, don’t get me wrong, LL’s a hell of a magical mind, but what he’s never been great at is being under pressure. In terms of researchers, LL ...

It's seemed like I've been quiet the last week but honestly? I've been writing a bunch of stuff - it just hasn't been visible to you folks. Why? Because it's on one of them there physical objects people seem to get so crazy about. You want to know what I'm talking about? Weee...
Before The Storm - Ch. 19
Chapter Nineteen“Stop!” Charlotte giggled frantically, waving her hand in surrender. Her muscular body was utterly drenched in sweat, although the slit between her legs was soaked with an entirely different kind of liquid. She and Sketch had gone at it four times over the last two hours, and whi...

Got Brewster's Brood back up and running? Check. Got all commissioned work to commissioners? Er, still in progress, but am working on it. Ran poll about what to post on Friday? Got it! It looks like we'll be returning to Before The Storm for Friday, which is interesting, since when I reread ...

I hadn't really intended to start something new, but this is the danger you get when you're talking with other creative friends. People can plant ideas in your brain, and it just digs in like a tick beneath the skin. One of my close friends was bemoaning to me how futuristic gameshow stories...
Kingmaker - Episode 1
KingmakerBy Devin McTaggartEpisode One – Daybreak I could taste that telltale sting of copper on my tongue that told me I was waking up from a tantrotetrohydroxazine coma, and even before my eyes opened, I knew about what to expect to see when I opened them. But I opened them anyway, and sure enou...

Part Four - “It’s Simple And It’s Mine”January 4th, 2021 The next morning, Fiona found Andy of course half-watching more updates about the Brian Morrison trial. Much of what was going on with it was troubling at best. The 24-news cycle was arguing about what constituted as ‘knowing’ what...

You know what you never expect to do in your life? Break a bed. You know what you never expect to do twice in your life? BREAK A BED. I broke a bed in my early 20s, and I attribute that at the time to me not knowing how to properly build IKEA beds. I think I'm going to attribute this time to the...
Quaranteam: Book 2, Chapter 45
Chapter Forty-Five September 2nd, 2021 Andy was starting to grow convinced that at some point very soon in his life, someone was going to leap out from behind a curtain and say, “Surprise! You’re on Candid Camera!” or “You’ve been Punk’d!” or something along those lines, because his li...
Quaranteam: Unbroken Mold - Ch. 9 (alphas)
Chapter NineJuly 20th, 2020Tom knew to expect things to be a little weird when people were waking up from regeneration, but he had no idea exactly how odd this day was going to get.
