As the door closed behind Dani, movement came from the far corner. Instead of a dozen tiny Solns, three huge men stepped from the shadows. Kalquorians.
Dani had only an instant to register the dark-skinned, black haired aliens before turning on her heel and running for the door, a scream poised on her lips. She’d not gotten one step before a thick, muscled arm wrapped around her waist, pinning her arms to her sides and pulling her to a granite hard body, lifting her from her feet. The Kalquorian had her near six feet length dangling several inches above the floor.

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll Is Up!
You have decided to create Imdiko Conyod first. He is a psychologist on Kalquor who specializes in traumatized Mataras. Despite being an excellent therapist, he is currently at a loss to deal with his clanmates. They have returned from the Earth/Kalquorian War changed men he barely recognizes.
We begin with physical characteristics, starting with the hair. You have three choices to make on this poll: length, texture, and style. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with. Have fun!

First Four Friday - Netherworld: Drop Dead Sexy
Chapter 13:
We arrived at the library, and I immediately flopped in a most unladylike fashion onto the sofa with a weary sigh. I wasn’t physically exhausted; after all I wasn’t physical anymore. But in my mind and heart, I was a battered soul. After all, a witch wanted to catch me and hand me over to the monster who had killed me.

Create a Kalquorian: New Poll Coming
With our first poll to Create a Kalquorian drawing to a close in the next couple of days, I'll soon be posting a new one. We'll be delving into the first of the physical characteristics on our alien: the hair.
It's not as easy to choose as it sounds. Sure, the vast majority of Kalquorians have black hair that's at least shoulder length. But we have to decide on coarse or soft; smooth, wavy or curly; and if he wears it loose, braided, cornrowed, dreadlocked, mohawked, etc. FYI, the fifth Clans of Kalquor book does have a Dramok with cornrows and a Nobek with a mohawk. So you have to decide if we'll repeat those hairstyles or not.
Right now the Imdiko is the frontrunner in our poll with almost half the votes. The response has been good enough that I'm thinking you will be helping me with the entire clan, so if you were hoping to create the Dramok and Nobek, you'll have your chance. Thanks so much for playing along!

WIP Wednesday - Netherworld: Drop Dead Sexy
You'd think that once you're dead, you'd be beyond pain and suffering, right? Brandilynn is certainly under that impression, but fellow ghost Dan and vampire Tristan have news for our newly deceased heroine:
Tristan frowned. “Watch where you take her. The east side of Old Town is getting violent again.”
Okay, Mr. County Commissioner sounded a little too paternal. What next, be home by eleven? “What does it matter? We’re dead, right? So nothing can hurt us,” I pointed out.
Dan slowly shook his head at me. “Oh, we can be hurt. You felt pleasure with sex, didn’t you?”
Tristan gave me a very serious look, serious enough that I got off my high horse about his patronizing attitude. “Not only can ghosts be hurt, but we can be ‘killed’ again, so to speak. Permanently erased from existence. Which can be a blessing if someone decided to torture you for eternity, which is also possible.”
His words sparked a thrill of terror. “Wow, nasty. What about vampires? If you get staked, you’ll be ghosts full time, right?”
Tristan’s lips thinned into a straight line. “Staking doesn’t kill vampires, it just pins them down so they can be killed. But the answer to your question is that the souls of dead vampires disappear entirely, including our daytime ghosts.”
Dan added, “That’s why their day resting places are kept so well hidden.”

Six Sentence Sunday - Netherworld: Drop Dead Sexy
He nodded at the body. “You’ve probably been out here several days, Brandilynn. It’s been warm and raining. They’re just lucky the wild pigs didn’t find you yet.”
Oh, this dream was so not turning out, not even with Dan the Marlboro Man holding me tight against his broad chest. “You’re saying that’s me over there?"
Coming in January!

First Four Friday - Alien Salvation
Chapter 8:
Bacoj’s stomach roiled as he watched Japohn prepare for battle. The Nobek strapped on black body armor before attaching an assortment of knives to his belt. No percussion blaster. Bacoj clenched his fists.

WIP Wednesday - Alien Salvation
Where for art thou, Alien Salvation? Still waiting to show up on the publisher's Coming Soon page. I am not a patient person. Maybe that's my lesson for this life? To learn a bit of patience? If so, I'm failing miserably. I guess I'll have to come back and do it again.
Meanwhile, I continue to tease. Here's another little morsel for you:
Lindsey opened her eyes to stare at Bacoj. “So you’ve mentioned rescue parties, containment forces, and now a search party. What’s being searched for?”
Bacoj swallowed before he answered. “Empress Jessica family.”
Japohn added, “They live near before war. Must find for her.”
The Earthers paused in their eating, giving their rapt attention. Tara’s expression in particular was eager. “Tell us about Empress Jessica. Is she treated well by your emperors?”
Bacoj blinked his surprise at the question. “She Empress. She Kalquor leader. All treat well.” He mused for a moment, while he considered how to inform them of the Empress’ importance to his people. “She give Empire prince and princess,” he said finally.
His statement elicited wide-eyed stares from all three Earthers. Tara choked out, “She’s had children?”

Six Sentence Sunday - Alien Salvation (Kalquor 4)
Japohn tilted her head back so she could see his humorless smile. Her sex clenched at the sight of ruthless domination in his expression. “Our ship. Our rules.”
Before meeting the Kalquorians, surrender had never been in Lindsey’s vocabulary. But with Vax’s mouth closing over her breast, Japohn massaging her buttocks and Bacoj slipping his fingers into her inner realms, she abdicated all control.
