HK Savage has been a voracious reader of anything she could
get her hands on going back to the second grade when she would set her alarm
two hours early to read before school. Her passion for the written word has
continued and flowed into writing going back nearly as far. Her books have fans
in twenty countries on six continents with hopes of attracting attention on Antarctica if for no other reason than to check a box. Currently, HK is a mother, wife and black belt in Karate as well as an avid dressage rider. Her three dogs: a Doberman she uses for therapy dog work and two ancient Doxies keep her busy when she is not writing or working or whatever else.
In addition to editing for the past ten years in advertising, HK has been an editor for several newsletters over the years; her favorite being for Heifer International where her ideas were put into effect and complimented by those on high. Currently her skills are being focused on clients in the writing world.
Paranormal is her favorite genre and science fiction because both address the possibilities we have not yet realized and the darker things we have. Her favorite premise: “what if?”

Becca’s eyes searched the dimly lit space to find Black
easing out of his office, a nearly invisible opening in the wall on the far
side of the room, and gliding forward to stand at the head of the long
rectangular black table in the center of the room. An overhead set of lights
washed his alabaster skin clean of details until she got close. A thick bunch
of tan folders were set neatly on top of the black surface.
“Admiral Black, Sir.” Becca refrained from saluting when
she reached the far end of the table; she learned in the beginning they didn’t
do that here.
Obsidian eyes showing no whites, only an expanse of flat
black set into white skin and topped with equally under-pigmented short hair,
regarded her without expression. By some trick of the light, the immortal,
soulless creature appeared strained. Could it be? She shook off the thought as
impossible.
“Please, take your seat, Rebecca.”
His towering six-foot-four frame stationed at the head of
the table was even more daunting when she sidled up the table to take her usual
seat on his right. She tried not to be obvious as she scanned the room for
Michael.
“I have asked Michael to give us a few minutes alone, if
you don’t mind. We have not had the opportunity to speak without his company
for some time.” Tapping a long white finger on his pointed chin, he appeared to
think for a minute. “Not since you returned from the hospital, I believe.”
Those flat black eyes turned toward her and his thin lips tightened into what
might have been a smile. On him it was more of a grimace. Then, gracefully, he
folded and took his seat.
That simple act had her heart racing. Becca had never seen
the man sit before, much less smile. It freaked her out even more than his
hovering aloofness. Keeping herself from making direct eye contact for long
enough for him to manipulate her mind, she glanced to his nose and back every
few seconds.
“Calm yourself, Rebecca. I assure you, you have nothing to
fear from me.” The corner of his mouth twitched again. Another smile. “We have
not had an opportunity to discuss how you are finding things here with us. You
have had ample time to settle in and see how things are done here, I trust.”
If the admiral wasn’t the admiral, Becca might have been
tempted to laugh. It wasn’t like she’d had a choice in her place here. Once
Black decided he wanted someone that was it. It didn’t matter whether she liked
it there or not. One thing was for sure, if she had to be around the chilling
admiral as often as she had her previous commanding officers, she would have
had a breakdown or at least developed a nervous tic or ten by now. Fortunately,
she had Michael acting as a buffer between them. While that would have bothered
her in her old unit in the Navy, it didn’t so much now. The less time she spent
with Black the better, and Michael was her immediate supervisor. That was
another can of worms entirely and not one she could open while she was with
Black. One stress case was enough, thank you.
“Things are fine, Sir. Everyone is teaching me about the
sorts of creatures I’m encountering and we train every day we aren’t on a
mission.”
Black blinked. With his coloring and lack of visible
corneas it lent him an uncanny resemblance to a snake. “Yes, Michael has kept
me apprised of your progress. He reports that you are a quick learner. What has
it been, five missions in two months? All presenting different obstacles, none
quite so challenging as the one that nearly cost us your gift.” His white fuzz
covered head wagged, more disturbed by his unit’s possible loss than the pain
of the human who wielded said gift. Trust Black to leech any hint of
sentimentality out of something. “However, I did not ask what you were
doing. I asked how you are doing.”
“Uh…” Becca’s heart and mind went into overdrive.
Immediately, she tried to calm herself. The fact that her eyesight wasn’t
dancing lent her a tiny modicum of solace. If she were in danger from the
admiral, her preternatural sight would have let her know. Only recently she’d
discovered she could somewhat control how debilitating the effects were and
since mastering that control, she hadn’t lost her vision for more than a few
seconds at a time. That didn’t stop her stomach from clenching nervously now.
She feared she knew where this was leading. They hadn’t spoken about the new
twist on her ability since she’d jumped into Michael right in front of the
their scary boss. If her damned vision hadn’t been so blurred at the time with
her lover and old partner about ready to face off, she would never have done
it. Now she realized what a mistake it had been. “It’s good, Sir. Everyone is
very helpful and I find the work challenging as well as rewarding.”
The black eyes narrowed slightly. “Thank you for the
sanitized version, Rebecca. However, I know that you are an intelligent woman.
You know very well what I am asking you. Have you learned more about this
jumping ability of yours?”
