Title: Mad Dahl (tentative title)
Author: Harper Kingsley
Genre: science fiction, action/adventure, thug, mm

Raised on the streets after leaving the orphanage at fourteen–the legal age on Helphion 5–he had learned how to survive. Even still, there had been the occasional setback, the occasional gropey handed predator that had stolen his innocence a bit at a time.

He was driven to survive–it was his nature, genetically scribed on his very bones. He learned to trust his survival instinct, to fall into that primitive mindset of “I will survive through everything.”

Updates and changes to come.

Title: Faizel 02 (excerpt)
Author: Harper Kingsley
Pairing: Charlemagne/Faizel
Characters: Faizel, Charlemagne, Ewing, Isadore, Jenny Deacon, Tamlin, Benton Lamoux, Felix, Prince Lucian, Paris, Gladys.
Genre: mm vampire urban fantasy

Summary: Picks up soon after Faizel 01. The actual start of the story.

* * *

Sometimes Ewing wondered if they had invited a devil into their midst. Because there wasn’t a doubt in his mind that Charlemagne was possessed. And the devil was named Faizel. Charlemagne’s darling love. The mysterious vampire that had appeared from nowhere to steal Charlemagne’s heart and rearrange the natural order of the world.

Ewing personally thought of Faizel as a booty call gone wrong, though he would never say it aloud. He valued his life too much.

Charlemagne wanted to keep Faizel secret, and Ewing was willing to go along with it. Because honestly, how could he even explain someone like Faizel? The guy scared the ever living fuck out of him, and that was no lie.

“Are you certain this is how you want to do things?” Deacon asked in her “I’m a complete hard as nails Law Officer” voice.

Updates and changes to come.
Thank you for visiting.

Here’s the Wikipedia entry on the Peaky Blinders — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaky_Blinders — Yep, they were were a real criminal gang based in Birmingham, England.

I avoided this show because I’ve found that crime dramas usually draw me in before attempting to tear my heart out emotionally and I didn’t think I could handle another show like that. But finally I gave in to Netflix’s constant recommending, and I’m glad that I did.

Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby sucked me right into the story of a crime family expanding its hold over the city of Birmingham. Starting out as small-potatoes, due to Tom’s cleverness and planning, the Shelby family and the Peaky Blinders become a power to be reckoned with. And in the meantime they amass … Read the rest “RE TV SHOW: Peaky Blinders [crime drama, historical]”
