Fantastic. Just what I always wanted, a view of the back of Mack’s head. As if he could hear my thoughts, he turned the chair. “This is my better side,” he said, looking down at me, with the faintest of smiles. “How are we doing?” I asked, and I didn’t mean him and me, since that implied a relationship that didn’t exist; I meant the ship. “Well, there’s another ship heading in-system.

In addition to organizing new covers for this series, I'm also giving them another round of edits prior to formatting them. Since I have a few days between work-for-hire contracts, I'm putting in some long hours and focusing solely on edits every day. It's a good thing there's not a lot that needs tweaking...  Mack 'n' Me: Origins is the first book in the Mack 'n' Me 'n' Odyssey series, and details how Mack and Cutter first met. Let's just say... Well, it went a little like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Hey!” I said, when the light of teleportation faded, and I found myself in an iron-barred cage. “Hey, yourself.” The voice came from behind me, deep, male, and very nonchalant, and all I wanted to do was take down whoever owned it.
