First Words—August 15, 2018: C.M. Simpson
I’ve been away for a bit. Things got busy, and I got sick… again, and then I changed my routine, which threw me out. It always does. I think I’ve got that sorted, now, so I’ll get back into posting the first words of the day. Today, I worked on the fifth book in the Mack ‘n’ Me ‘n’ Odyssey series, with Cutter and Mack’s crew back to being their dysfunctional selves. Given I’ve put down 15,000 words since the last time I did this, this snippet is a bit longer than most. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mack ‘n’ Me: The Wolves of Alpha 9 “You have to give her orders to get her to behave?” He made it sound like the joke of a millennia. I didn’t have to look at Mack to see his mouth curl in distaste. His answer said it all. “Yup.” Barangail laughed, and I could see several of his guards smirking. Right now, I wanted to smack the ever-loving crap out of all of them… with my blaster. I felt my hand twitch, and then my arm froze.
