Michael stepped back with an extravagant bow to the boos and hisses from the audience. This was punctuated by rabid applause from the small angelic contingent. Bercan stepped forward, taking the microphone and sweeping to the front of the stage. He pointedly ignored Michael, who blew him a kiss. Seriously? Angel boy was trying to be a player. Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 40
Kim asked me to talk about writing multiples especially when it comes to romance. It’s a great topic, because it is not always easy to write multiples, especially when it comes to making sure everyone gets their time on screen and even more difficult when it comes to sex scenes. I’ll tackle both here. Continue reading Sean Michael on Writing for Four
“Karaoke?” Micah asked incredulously as he looked around. “We had to leave an urgent investigation with open warfare a distinct possibility to come attend karaoke night?” Azgoth shuddered beside him. “Yes, I am afraid so. This is Lucifer’s main fundraising event of the year for the Demon Dog foundation.” “Wait, Lucifer has a non-profit?” Micah was briefly distracted from the horror that surrounded them. The … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 39
Azgoth fixed a glare on Rakon. “Why did you let Phenex even try to work his powers on Micah?” “You got so upset with me the last time I tried to kill the bastard. Something about all the paperwork involved in offing one of the Nine. So I figured I’d let Micah deal with Phenex. As I said, your boy did just fine,” Rakon told … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 38
As Micah and Rakon walked into Headquarters, everyone looked up. “So?” asked Percy, his eyes intent on Rakon. “I want to strangle him with my bare hands while I repeatedly kick him in the balls,” said Rakon, exasperation in his voice. “Sadly, I don’t think he’s involved in our case.” “Looks like he’s being set up, as we expected. The good news is that he’s … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 37
Micah stewed silently as Phenex continued to needle Rakon. The Pack grew restless with his anger swirling around them, and Arroc suddenly let out a roar. Everything stopped. “That is Arroc,” Phenex said with a start, as if looking at the hell lion for the first time. “Sabnock’s Arroc.” “Indeed,” Micah spat out furiously. “You tried to use your power to influence me.” Phenex looked … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 36
Micah gaped at the monstrosity before him. He had been impressed by Azgoth’s ancestral home, but this was, well, he couldn’t even find the words. “What the hell?” was all he could get out. Rakon grinned at him evilly. “As you say, this is indeed hell. Phenex just brings a little extra.” Micah groaned at this partner, then followed him up to the main entrance, … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 35

After the briefing, Micah refilled his coffee. Amazingly, it tasted just as bad as the coffee in his old office topside. Cop house coffee was a universal plague, it seemed. As he drank, he started jotting down things on the frosted glass wall that stretched in a curled pattern around his desk and Rakon’s. His partner was currently arguing with Percy, and he didn’t want … Continue reading Hellscapade: Post 34
Harlequin posted a challenge recently which was to write a few chapters that show exactly when two characters realize that they have been set up. I had fun with this one. Kyle entered the seaside cottage, charmed as always by the bright colors on the walls and scattered pillows. He opened the door to the bedroom, then froze. “Claude,” Kyle breathed in surprise, shocked to … Continue reading The Set Up
