Rycliff: Blog

New chapters of this story have been posted I hope you enjoy them. We introduce a new character and explore a few new ideas.

I have posted an edited version of ch1 I believe that the many errors was from using both Word and Grammarly to edit the story. Somehow they appear to have cancelled each other out. I believe I fixed most of the errors. I apologize for the poor quality of the post.

Well,one of my followers suggested I start a Patreon account. So I have. Its Rycliff's works of fiction. I'll be posting there before I post on here, with a few exceptions. Plus I'll have content that may not end up here.

please try this link as searching for it directly does not appear to be working.
I'm working on this with the website support team but it hasn't been resolved as of yet.

This is my first attempt at both a serial and Do Over I have introduced some twists, that I haven't seen implemented by other authors. This doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means I haven't seen them. I am hoping to keep the story compelling. I am also hoping to turn this into a novel or a series of novels. So the Sex is going to minimalized, but not non-existent. But it will be plot driven and plot essential.

Our hero is a person who really doesn't deserve a second chance. and probably under normal circumstances wouldn't be offered it. But he is the only one who can do what is needed to be done. He ends up dying and coming back as a 14 year old, just before his freshman year. I plan to cover high school college and a professional career an the way to accomplish the ultimate goal of space colonization and deep space exploration. I am a Sci-Fi author at heart so it only makes sense that it would creep into this story. It'll be posted soon, I'm going to do some final editing to make sure it's as good as it can be.

The murders are taking their toll on the city, so far two gruesome attacks have occurred. There really isn't any good explanation for perfectly innocent, beautiful, young girls to be dead; but they are. They have been savagely stabbed, and then a number is carved into their chest, letting everyone know that someone out there has a score to settle. They were the victims of the Murder by Numbers Killer as described by the media. How many more will the maniac behind this madness kill to prove a point, to settle the score. What is the score? Detective Mike Hammond, a police officer for over twenty years on the Houston Police force is tasked with finding who is behind this string of killings. He is about to face his toughest foe. In order to find and apprehend this murderer he will need to overcome years of self- loathing and alcohol abuse. He has fallen from grace within the department, but he is still the best at solving the hard to unravel cases. He will need to hurry, because he is soon to discover that his daughter, Christie is on the list. She will need him to be sober, and he will to have to forgive himself for letting his job separate them during her childhood.

Andrea Jacobs is a rising star within the FBI, top in her classes at the academy. She wants to prove that she is more than just a theorist, and a pretty face, that she can actually handle herself out in the field. She's had the training, but not the opportunity. She craves action. But when it comes time to act, will she really be up for it. Will she be able to risk everything, including the life of an innocent girl that may be sacrificed as bait for a monster?

The game is on and the teams are on the field, they just don't know who the players are. Andrea will have to hope she can find the clues before the score gets much higher. Together Mike and Andrea will examine the facts and link the clues to the killer. They must enter the mind of a serial killer, and they will find a surprise as dark as any midnight, and use that information to stop the numbers before they reach to Christie Hammond.

I might have made this sound worse than it is. I just wanted to give a fair warning. None of the violence takes place on stage. It's all after effect e.g. the dead body is discovered and police arrive on scene. The story was written for a crime drama submission. Just thought I'd give a little better overview.
