Reader’s Choice

As an author, I have more ideas than time to write. I often get inspired and write the first portion of a story only to get stuck because I wrote myself into a corner. Often it takes months or years to complete the story.

I now have about two dozen stories in various stages of completion.

This is where you all can step in. Read the story ideas below and tell me which story you want me to complete.

Enter the Darkness

Elias Dufort was the leader of the king's appointed hunters. The hunters had attempted to remove the plague of nightwalkers for centuries. While investigating a possible hiding place, Elias runs into somethign completely unexpected and it will change his life forever.

Has the traffic on BC reduced?

I have noticed that the last several stories I posted are not getting many reviews. Two years ago, it was common to get 20-30 reviews from a post and now it is a struggle to get 5.

The reason I write is primarily an outlet for myself and secondly to support the readers here and the site.

I admit that reviews of my stories help motivate me as I love hearing how what I wrote helped someone, even if it was just to take their mind to a better place for a few hours.

How to land the perfect job in 2065

Brandon Butler finds himself struggling with life. In a world where everyone has been genetically modified or cybernetically enhanced, being ‘normal’ has become detrimental to his future. He needed to find a way to make himself unique so that he could get a job. To do so, he turned to the unlicensed and illegal mod market only to find he might have got more than he bargained for.

Hunted

In this second book of the Valg series, Stan Westly is a 26 year old technical writer that is consumed by his work. He is confronted by what he thought was impossible, a vampire and a Fae to learn that he is the son of a Fae and a Shifter and that he has inherited their job as Hunter for the supernatural community. First things first. He needs to believe and agree to being awakened, releasing his magic and magical body.

Turned

Synopsis:

Twenty-seven year old Aiden Wellington and his mother never saw eye to eye, but when he received a text from her saying she needed him, he immediately left for the estate his mother and grandmother lived in. Nearly at his mother’s home, an accident nearly claims his life. He should have been killed but instead he wakes to discover his life would be altered forever.

This is the first book of a trilogy, but reads as a stand alone novel. Look for book two of the trilogy being completed soon.

Piercing the Virtual Veil

A struggling wounded military veteran finds a new job he is perfect for. The only problem? The technology he was using swaps him into the body of a beautiful female athlete in the middle of a terrorist plot to start a new cold war.

Casey Brooke - offline for a while

Dear friends,

My life is taking a bit of a turn for the better. I was just offered an excellent job but it will mean all those pending stories I have to finish will be further delayed as I move, settle, and orient myself in my new job.

I’m not dead and haven’t found my magic transformation pill yet so I still need to write to keep my brain from screaming at me.

Hope you are all doing well,
Casey

To publish or not - decision made

Thank you all for the fabulous insights. I have decided to post it here first and then if all of you like it I will publish it somewhere I can get a printed copy. Maybe be Doppler Press would be interested? Hint hint.

I am in final edit. I was going to change the location, taking the story outside of Silicon Valley but I think I will leave it as is. The corporation is Googlesque but it is located in Palo Alto instead of Mountain View and the timing is set 9 years from now.

Where has Casey been?

Just thought I would drop everyone a quick note. I am alive and well. It has been a while since I last posted anything. I’ve not been idle. I have a new story that’s about 80% completed and a dozen others 25-50% done. I’m also working on a non-TG tech thriller novel that I hope I can publish and share some of my writing with my family for the first time.

Hope you are all enjoying the summer.

A Slave of Jupiter - Just published on the site

Just a quick heads-up to any fans I might have out there. I just completed and published a sequel to A Princess of Jupiter. The sequel, called, A Slave of Jupiter, is a bit of an independent sequel in that our old friends Caelen and Aristea are still around, but the story focuses on none other than myself on a journey to Jupiter and all that life on Jupiter entails.

Lots of action, inner reflection, and love.

Now I just have to find a real way of teleporting myself into one of my stories...

Enjoy!

A Slave of Jupiter

A Slave of Jupiter is an independent sequel to A Princess of Jupiter. You might want to read that story first to get the context, but it isn't absolutely necessary.

Unsure if this was a hoax or if Casey was going insane, Casey decides to bring what the visitor requested to a location in Sedona, Arizona at the appointed time. An accident ensues and Casey finds himself now on Jupiter; alone, naked, and female. Can Casey, now Cassia, save the planet and find love at the same time?
