The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I were sharing a popsicle or paleta in Huatulco, Mexico. It was hot. The popsicle was melting faster than we could devour it. And drops of sugary liquid were falling to the ground.
That attracted the bees.
We watched them return to the drips again and again until all the liquid had evaporated.
Every action in our stories creates a gazillion ripples in our worlds. We can’t show all of them on page. We have to choose.
I chose in this post to talk about the ripple involving the bees.
I could have chosen to talk about the little girl who saw our popsicle and tried to convince her guardian to buy her a popsicle also.
I could have chosen to talk about the old man who scowled and muttered at us because we were sticky and laughing and acting foolish.
I could have chosen to talk about the helpful person who sold us the popsicle and the adventures we had navigating our different languages.
I could have chosen the numerous other stories that happened because we got a popsicle.
I made a choice. And we have to make similar choices while writing our longer stories. That is part of the fun. (grins)

Strike Zone
A cyborg devoted to duty…and to her.
***
While attending a party, Kesser, the daughter of her planet’s leader, witnesses the abduction of her best friend and her best friend’s mate.
She’s determined to rescue them. Preferably without fracturing the fragile peace agreement her mom has crafted with the abductors’ planet.
The only issue is…she has never participated in a retrieval mission.
Searching for assistance, she approaches the mate’s guard. The male, with his big broad shoulders and deep growly voice, affects her like no other being ever has.
Kesser wants him. She trusts him. And she requires his stealth combat skills.
Desperately.
Strike is no guard. The D Model cyborg has been sent to the sector to discreetly investigate a potential planet-destroying situation.
When a curvy human female with big brown eyes requests his help with a rescue, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. She’s his genetic match, the one being he was manufactured to protect.
She’s also traveling to the next planet he has to search. He plans to claim his female while he fulfills his responsibilities to his kind.
Neither Strike nor Kesser realizes the dangers facing them are far greater than they imagine. Their enemies are converging, and one failed mission could doom the entire universe.
