New Short Story Release! Vibe: Grey Apathy is Now Available!

Vibe Grey Apathy is the first installment of my short story series. It's about 8800 words long and is perfect for those who love crime, science fiction, dystopian societies and a bit of the paranormal.

Here is the blurb:

Welcome to a world where emotions have become weapons, currency and livelihood. Welcome to Vibe City.

Greys feed on apathy. The only problem with that is they sometimes soak up so much apathy, they experience the emotion so strongly that they can't make themselves do anything. Even feeding becomes a chore that may or may not get done. Everyone knows you can't feed on your own emotion. So if you're isolated enough, you could end up drained.

Prism is a detective with problems of her own. She's been off the job for a while, but now she's back and working with a transfer named Atramen on the case of the drained grey. Being a color wheel has its advantages and disadvantages. The power to make anyone feel any emotion you want them to is a pro, but being bombarded 24/7 with the emotions of others is most definitely a con. Can Prism and Atramen find the killer and overcome the obstacles associated with a new partnership?

Get it now on Amazon or Smashwords because it's only $0.99!

Announcing a new short story series from . . . ME!

Yeah, that's right, I'm doing a little self promo today. Over the weekend I announced the series I'm working on over at John Forster's blog. I decided I better announce it here too in case you missed it.

So, here it goes!

The series will consist of nine short stories. They DO have a paranormal element to them. We'll talk about that a little more below. They are also murder mysteries that take place far into the future.

This world that I envision is futuristic, fast paced and dark. At the center of it is Prism, a homicide detective with a dark past and a cynical outlook on life. She is a rare type of hueman and she's not always easy to be around.

Set in the futuristic mega city, Vibe, the story will follow Prism as she returns to her job as a detective after taking a personal leave. Vibe is a city with millions of people, and Prism can't stand to be in crowds.

You see, this new breed of humans--now called huemans--have all developed the insatiable need to feed on emotions. It all started when humans started generations before when humans started taking pills to level out their moods in order to clear their heads in important situations.

Humans soon began giving birth to babies with strange colored eyes who could not be satisfied with only milk. It took a while, but it was eventually found that the babies needed to feed on an emotion and the emotion was determined by the color of their eyes at birth. In the series, there are nine major emotions that huemans feed on and each emotion is represented by a color. The catch is, that at the age of one, all eye colors change to brown and their emotional needs are hidden.

Since Prism is a "color wheel," meaning she is one of the rare huemans who can feed on any emotion, being near crowds overwhelms her senses. This sensitivity to emotions, is the reason she prefers to work at night, when most people are sleeping. The problem is that all the monsters come out at night.

Take a trip to Vibe. It's the place where emotions have become weapons, currency and livelihood. Coming March 2013 - Volume One: Grey Apathy.

A new short story published by Kayla Curry!

Hey everyone! I've published yet another short story, this time it is more on the paranormal side of things. Oomph! is pretty paranormal too, but it was a horror. Journey in an Unknown Land was just kinda strange. (You know what I'm talking about if you've read it)

This new story is called Falling Leaves and it's got a little love, a little mystery and a little adventure, with a good handful of magic. I'm thinking about making it into a series, but I'd like to see how it goes first.

So, here's the blurb:

A woman finds a special leaf that leads her to a magical and mysterious place. Will she believe what she sees when she finally gets there? Will she decide to stay?

And here is the cover (designed by me):

FREE Journey in an Unknown Land!

No, sorry, I am not giving away a trip to Mexico or anything like that. BUT you can get my short story, Journey in an Unknown Land for FREE today through Friday. Grab your copy HERE!

It's actually pretty appropriate for Thanksgiving in some ways. Here is the blurb:

A troop goes into a land they've only heard of to gather food for their families. Little do they know the stories they've heard don't do it justice. The land is terrifying and strange with danger lurking beyond every corner. Will they survive this fateful trip?
