Muse Food – Fighting The Flow
The Dear Wonderful Hubby took this photo in Ketchikan, Alaska.
As implied by the salmon statue, the salmon swim upstream, navigating the rapids in order to reach their spawning grounds. This takes a LOT of effort, almost a miraculous amount of it. They’re fighting gravity and they’re literally swimming against the stream.
I remember that when I’m fighting a story, when I’m trying to force it where I want it to go. It is much easier to ‘swim with the stream’ and follow the story where it naturally leads.
I often find that results in a better story also!

Intrepid Encounter
(This blurb is VERY rough.)
Cyborg vs. Valkyrie
Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.
Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.
That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.
The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She is the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her caresses produce a passion he struggles to control.
But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.
Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of Valkyries everywhere and she will do anything to retrieve it.
That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant blue eyes and grimly set lips.
The male might…just might have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough touch, his punishing embrace, his stern words.
But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her Valkyrie sisters from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.
