Evelyn Chartres is the pen name for a Canadian #IndieAuthor of eight #DarkFantasy #FreeBooks. Evelyn is also a fan of #FrenchCanadian #Cuisine and #Cooking.
#Cyberpunk #Thriller Behind Blue Eyes, by Anna Mocikat, is a worthwhile read filled with action, character development, and unexpected romance. Best of all, just like 1984, it will keep you guessing until the end. #BookReview #IndieReads

The needle was skipping against the edge, playing a few notes filled with hisses and pops before repeating again. She walked over casually and lifted the arm, filling the room in silence.

“Time for a break,” Evelyn said.

Evelyn paused, leaving her chisel and mallet on the rough hewn table. In the corner of the room there was a phonograph, an older crank style model with a horn. This worked well for her considering not every room was wired yet for electricity.

Pilaf-Stuffed Pork Loin

A tasty #Pork #Loin, which vaguely resembles a jelly roll when complete. This #Dish combines #Onions, #Garlic, #Rice, #Marmalade, and salt to create an interesting meal! I normally serve this meal with hunter sauce and mashed potatoes. #Recipe #Recipes

The only thing he knew for certain was that their Commanding Officer would need to be briefed. This was the first time they encountered the enemy behind their own lines. This won't be the last…

Murphy closed his eyes and shook his head. A single vampire managed to kill four of his men in the span of five minutes. We got lucky…

“Found him, Sir,” Sergeant Simmons said.

The Sergeant was amongst the first Canadians to reach the front lines. The fact that he was pale and nearly whispered said much about the grisly discovery.

“Reload and fanout,” Murphy ordered. “Find that third man.”

Only after loading another five shells did he look over the scene. The ground near the private was soaked in blood, and ash. But all around him there were spent shells and cartridges. I’ve only seen this much brass at the shooting range.

The white phosphorus flames spread out over the body as though this man was kindling. Within seconds the vampire was engulfed and dropped to his knees.

Murphy’s hands were shaking, with all that excess adrenaline needing an outlet. Still he pulled himself together. We’re not out of the woods yet.

The projectile was slow and left a wide arc in its path. However, the vampire took the round to the chest and a bright flash of white light left everyone blinded.

“Burn in hell,” Murphy said.

The Taliesin Affair, a #SteamPunk novel by Steve Turnbull. I loved the interchange of the fantastical mixed with the reality of the era. This book serves a stepping stone for the series. Highly recommended! #IndieReads

He reached for his pouch and pulled out a pistol-like weapon with a large barrel. He slammed it shut, took aim and paused. When another shot from up on the ridge rang out and struck the vampire through the chest, Murphy fired.

Instead the vampire’s cheek and teeth blew out from within. But even that did little more than slow it down. Left with one round, Murphy took a gamble.
