Not Mai Tai to Die
When agents begin dying suddenly, questions need to be answered.
Surely good dental hygiene is not the only common denominator?

28 / thriller / charity / a diplomat

The Long Ebb, The Sudden Flow

A mountain town suffering from a ruthless drought finally welcomes a storm, but the acts of an unlikely few remind them they have more for which to be thankful than the sky alone.

Heeey finally a groupmate. Here's mine:

The Mars Dawn Project

In the near future, a charity-focused mission to Mars is not what it seems. With the clock ticking, an ambassador sends a warning to one of the would-be astronauts.

Hello two groupmates! Looks like we all found very different settings for our stories. Here's mine:

Paradise

  

In a tropical paradise, a brilliant young university professor tries to secure funding for her research project, but she gets caught up in something far more sinister after approaching a powerful diplomat.


Look forward to reading!

Group 8: Horror / Entitlement / A Professor


Playthings

 

  

 

A woman in the grip of trauma races to escape her captors, who harbor a dark sense of entitlement and even darker desires.






So... this one had me. While I love psychological darkness, I don't read, watch or write horror, so it was pretty much the worst one for me to get. I'm just very grateful (and a little worried) for my brother and his long list of suggested tortures. LOL


Hello there Group 8! Same group, and horror also not really my thing...

English 101

Even in the hallowed halls of academia, evil lurks. One professor’s refusal to bend her principles comes at enormous sacrifice.

Hey groupmate.  Right there with ya.  I was going for the reader being worried about what happens to my main character.  My fear is that I may have acheived the reader being mildly curious about what happens to my main character.  That would be no bueno.

Good luck!

At least we don't have an interminable wait for the results of this round, that's the real suspense right there...! Best of luck to you, too. :)

I look forward to reading your story. The Magdalene Laundries and their repercussions are subjects very close to my heart.
