Imprint from the
Tales from the SFR Brigade anthology, now available from Smashwords, B&N and Kobo for FREE! Yay! So, last time we met Jiona on a crazy plunge into traffic as she made her escape from a heist. Now she's back at her base, but all is not well...
The chamber beyond was in chaos. Cold washed through her. Jiona eyed the wreckage that had recently been her laboratory, her chest locking tight. While she’d been busting the TransGalactic Bank’s vault and dallying with Tevik, someone had turned over her hidden base. Which, judging by the evidence, was not well hidden enough. It couldn’t have been Tevik. It wasn’t his style for one, and he’d been so close on her trail at the bank she’d imagined his hot breath on the back of her neck the whole time she’d been on the job.

DeleteWho? Who?! Who is it? WAAAAAA! Oh, wait. I have a copy of the anthology. *opens the file*
ReplyDeleteOhh!! Or what...??!! Ahhhg. I suppose I should read the entire thing...as I have a copy.
ReplyDeleteA cliffhanger AND maniacal laugh! I can almost hear the guy playing the piano in the corner as the curtain comes down. Great twist and extra points for using the word "dallying".
ReplyDeleteHeh, thanks!
DeleteDrat it, next time I'll post a cliff hanger from an unpublished work, bwah-ha-haaaaa!
ReplyDeleteStud oversensitive touch screen phone deleted this instead of publishing

OK, I ordered it for my NOOK. Don't know what's with Amazon lately; I lowered the e-book price on Tourist Trap almost 6 months ago and they still haven't lowered theirs
I've read it and I STILL loved reading this cliffhanger.

ReplyDeleteLove the cliff hanger--I'm going to have to get a copy of this before I head back to work. Joina is tough, thinking so logically through her problem when most people are too ruffled by the intrusion. Makes me want to see what she does next.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
