GEAR UP! It's another edition of SciFi Fantasy Saturday.



Posting from my WiP
TGfA II: The Machines of Bellatrix

The Girls From Alcyone is the continuing story of two very special young women who find themselves at the heart of a conflict spanning more than forty worlds.
THIS WEEK: I haven't posted in a while - I wanted to finish this last draft of Freelancer (now TMoB), but now that that's all done (except for the polishing and the editing, and the...well, you know), I'm back.

 I don't think this scene needs a setup. You'll figure it out.




"I think you're rather enjoying this," Suko said. She stood with her arms held out while Sigrid coiled the last of the thermite strips around her midriff. Sigrid then began the meticulous task of stitching the hundreds of tiny pinhead grenades into the seam of her bra, more into the waistband of Suko's pants; a trick Chesna had taught her so long ago. "You sure it wouldn't be easier if I took this all off?"
Sigrid slapped her hand away; though she couldn't help but smile. "Hush! Now do keep your arms out. There, like that. This will go a lot faster if you stop moving."
"But not nearly as much fun."


Oh, and don't forget to check out snippets from other SFFS authors here: scififansat.blogspot.ca! SciFi Fantasy Saturday is a web-ring of fab SciFi & Fantasy writers and posters. All are welcome to join and participate. In fact, join and participate! Ten sentences every Saturday is all it takes.
Cheers, Cary!

    I had to be the first, you know. ;)

    Great cover, Cary! I'm ready for more Sigrid and Suko so this interaction was a perfect teaser. (Pun intended!)

    Hi Cary! I like the new title - it's got much more punch than Freelancer (which could mean anything). And the snippet is fun - Suko and Sigrid are great characters!

      Thanks, Pete. I agree about the title. Freelancer makes sense, but it's pretty meaningless without knowing the story, so I changed it.

    Nothing like playing with high-end explosives, right? :-D

    I love the cover! I didn't think sewing on grenades could sound sexy, but you nailed it.

    Somehow I don't think they have suicide bombing in mind.

    Leave it to Sigrid and Suko to turn a boring task into something sexy. Love the new cover! And, I understand the decision behind the title change. I'm still trying to determine an appropriate title for my new work.
