In 2008 I wrote an EVE novel called Against A Rock. Many folks said it was better than the official EVE novels, so I played around with the idea of writing another. I wrote a few sample chapters of something I called I Kill For Money, about two cybernetic Gurista assassins who fall in love while unraveling a conspiracy between the Gurista faction and Concord. You can read the sample chapters on my website. I had a story published in issue #22 of EON called The Atrocity Planners about a little boy and his sister, Vena. These novel chapters follow Vena now that she's all grown up, now a professional killer, but still dealing with the tragedy that befell her in her childhood.

Any feedback would be wonderful.

Here's a sample of the sample (Serana is Vena's fake name):

“Wait,” said Serana, cocking her head. “That’s all we need to do, is just collect information on him and what he knows about local Gurista operations, if he knows about our moles in the police force, and what he may be planning in terms of future raids on Gurista outposts… that’s it.” She chuckled. “It’s just a reconnaissance mission; no killing required.”

“Really?” Deihlmin replied. “We don’t need to take anyone out? What’s with the bonus payment’s then? Can I see the pad? I wanna read over that myself.”

“Oh, wait,” Serana said, pulling the pad closer. “Sorry, I think I missed a paragraph.” She paused a moment. “Yeah, I misread– We actually need to kill Mr. Diiman, his personal secretary, his wife and his two children.”

Deihlmin relaxed into the warmth of the bed and leaned against his new wife. “Yeah, that sounds more like it.”
