This scene is more than just an excerpt from Dolor and Shadow. It is one of my favorite scenes and features Bergen in all his Bergen glory. May you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Dolor and Shadow – Chapter 39 The light of Alfheim’s moon gleamed brightly in the deep […]
Bergen Interviews His Author
“Hi! I’m Bergen,” says the 6’2’’ Viking Prince with a lax grin. “I am the author’s main character—” “You are not the main character.” Angela cuts Bergen off and throws a warning glare his way. Bergen scoffs and rolls his eyes. “I was supposed to be,” Bergen insists and continues. “To get started on Angela’s […]
Speaking of Pompous overbearing Nord Lords…
It’s 7:10. I have to run my kids out to the bus stop, refresh my coffee, grab a biscotti, then write the next scene in Bergen: Bane. I’m back. It’s 7:29. I fed my fish (Shubunkins…I named them all Fred) I have my coffee and my biscotti. Sunlight is pouring through the window onto my […]
The Holodeck: Part #16
Still one of my favorite posts… Sugie: DUH Duh duh. [dramatic notes] Angela: Rushing in, Ben catches the tripwire Angela had strung and he falls flat on his face. “Heheheheheheheeee…. Hahahahahahahahahahaaa… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” Angela lights a match, a cigarette, takes a draw and smiles. “My plan worked. You just couldn’t stay away.” Angela cocks her gun […]
The Holodeck: Part #15
Angela: The corridors were long and dark… and long. The smell of ancient humidity contained within the ruins of Machu Piccu sent a stale chill down Angela’s throat as she followed the path deeper into the pyramid’s core. Any moment now. Angela paused to listen. She was most assuredly alone. But not for long. A […]
The Holodeck: Part #14
BCP3O: “Red? RED! Have you no sense of decency? No SHAME?” Benedict’s shrill voice carried even to the ground fighters below. “This will clash horribly with my wardrobe! I’m a winter, you twit!” Still flailing his arms and complaining loudly about the splash of red paint, he peered over Jaselyn’s shoulder as she fussed with […]
The Holodeck: Part #13
Jaselyn: Jaselyn looks down on her holographic double on the ground, pelting the vines with paint. She doesn’t have long to look, as the dirigible is hitting some major turbulence and she’s being jolted side-to-side like the cast of Star Trek on the bridge during a fight with the Romulans. It takes all of Jaselyn’s […]
The Holodeck: Part #12
BCP3O:“Cheerio! Ah, Angela, just the woman I wished to speak wi– WHAT THE DEVIL?” Benedict ran to peer down over the side of his inflatable aircraft, goggling at the explosions of color in the forest below. “By jove, they are a merry bunch, aren’t they? Ho there!” he cried, waving at the combatants below, scarf […]
The Holodeck: Part #11
Angela: Angela conducts the face palm of the century. “DOH! I forgot to end the Hologram Ben program!” Duped by her own ruse, Angela grumbles, “Computer, end Holographic Ben.” And the Ben Angela was preparing to blast away with her kick-ass paintball bazooka vanishes. “We’ll never catch them like this,” Angela says and looks around […]
The Holodeck: Part #10
Edward: Edward stands their his mind still a little fuzzy “computer give me a turkey sandwich …., no a hamburger…. no give me tuna on rye…, no..” ” What the hell do you want?” The computer chimes. If he didn’t know better he would have thought the computer had an attitude.”BEN IS THAT YOU” shouts […]
