Improvement
By: Mackey Chandler

The number of stars gathered around the monitor was impressive. They were all general officers and Captain Joe Buckley was tense with so much high powered brass looking over his shoulder. So far he’d been able …

Chapter 7

The Fox and Hare was on the half G level. It was semi-industrial, without the nice carpet and …

I’m feeling better. The first week home from the hospital was horrible, but I’ve made good progress. I’m out shopping and cooking again.

And my writing has picked back up. I have 53k words on the new April book and …

Chapter 2
