So, Mr. Grady, how did you find yourself in the FBI?” (…) Ty gave her a charming smile. “The Marines didn’t want me, and it’s hard to find a job where you can shoot things without getting arrested

Fiddlers Green Boat Tours: ‘It still floats!’ When Ty had mentioned Nick O’Flaherty’s name, saying his old Recon buddy had a boat they could use, Zane had sort of expected a dinghy. He had imagined Nick inhabiting some seedy apartment over an Irish pub in South Boston. That was the impression he’d gotten from Ty’s oldest friend when he was blind and could only hear him speak. So he was surprised when a sleek sixty-foot Outer Reef 580 Motoryacht glided into the view of the little boat’s running lights.

Abbott Adventure Treks: ‘Giving Kids PTSD’ “Doc’s been on an adventure trek for three weeks,” Owen told them.
Zane cocked his head. “What’s that?” “The camp he worked at,” Owen said. “They took in underprivileged kids, foster kids, and first-time delinquent offenders and taught them the ins and outs of survival, basically. Doc was a counselor there. His favorite thing was running these adventure treks, where he’d take the older kids out into the mountains and fake a disaster they had to solve. Lose their equipment, pretend to break his leg, that kind of stuff. I went with him once, it was fun as hell. We faked our food supply getting carried off by a bear.”

Would love this series to be a show!!
FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER » MARA GRADY
Zane found himself alone with Mara. She sat across from him and narrowed her eyes before talking. “Now I know Ty ain’t exactly diligent about it, so I’m telling you. You need to know I expect certain things from my boys.”
Zane raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t certain he could stand another lecture from a disapproving mother. “Okay.”
“We do Christmas, Thanksgiving, and sunrise service at Easter. If you have to go to Texas for some of those, that’s just fine, but I expect a phone call. Chester’s birthday is in April, and do not bring him anything that fires projectiles or is sharp. Or, God forbid, sharp projectiles. Understand? Because Ty does it every year.”
Zane blinked. He wasn’t quite sure where this was going, or why she was telling him instead of scolding Ty about it. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Okay then.” She nodded and sat back. “Now, there’s supposed to be a cold snap coming, so be a doll and go out back and get some firewood for me, would you?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Zane said, bemused.
…
A soft whistle from above cut into his thoughts, and when he looked up from the woodpile to investigate, he saw Ty and Earl both sitting on the new roof of the outbuilding, legs dangling over the edge. They were sharing one of Ty’s cigars. And they were laughing at him.
“She sent you out for firewood?” Ty called, incredulous.
“She said there was a cold snap coming.”
Ty’s infectious laughter rang out in the night, accompanied by Earl’s deeper chuckling. “Zane! It’s July!”
“But it’s the mountains!”
“It’s still July!”
Zane shrugged and waved them off, resisting the urge to gesture rudely. He realized what Mara was doing: distracting him while making him feel like part of the family instead of a guest. It had worked.

Past & Presents* (Christmas ficlets) - see below
Warrior’s Cross is set before Armed & Dangerous (#5), but can be read at any time. It gives nice background to two of the characters that appear in Armed & Dangerous.
#? just means I don’t know specifically where the ficlet fits, so have just guessed based on content and date posted.
You do not have to read the Sidewinder books as part of the Cut & Run series, but nor are they truly stand-alone (like Warrior’s Cross). Both Sidewinder books refer to and tie in with events happening in the main series, so it is strongly advisable to read them in order to avoid spoilers and confusion.
The 9th (as yet untitled) book will be the last in the Cut & Run series, and will be released on the 30th of March, 2015.
There is no release date yet for the next Sidewinder book, Part & Parcel.
Be sure to check out and follow Abi’s blog for updates and more content.

Hopefully that’s everything! I’m not sure if anyone has already done a post like this - I apologise if so. If there’s something missing, please let me know either on here or this blog, and I will update this post. Enjoy!
Nicely done! Only thing I’d suggest is reading WC before D&C instead of A&D (because most people end D&C angreh and want to continue right on through).
Here’s my entry for the Cut & Run exchange - for d-kauffman!
So, guide to all the different fabrics:
A Texas state flag, cowboys hats, motorcycle, coffee, cookies, and grey suiting material for Zane
Blue suiting material, baseballs, two marine fabrics, ACU fabric, Mara’s apple pie and jelly, the Eiffel Tower (for the debauched night of selling antiques), Christmas fabric, Shamrock for Nick, and western shirt blue and white plaid for Ty
Spongebob, mardi gras maskets, tiger fabric, flags for FBI service, and bottle caps. Plus handwritten Anchor, Compass, Black Market Orchids, Are you feeling this too? Baltimore and West Virginia.
it’s about 25 inches square. The brownest brown to ever brown on the edge of the ampersand, and a green with brown accents as a binding to represent their eyes. And what actually made me giddy in the fabric store - the white background has a thin stripe pattern like the covers of the books.
Hope you like it d-kauffman! PM me your addy and I’ll get it in the mail to you this week!
Very nice Mel!! :D Iove it!

I fell in love with the image off the cover of Cross & Crown, designed by the talented L. C. Chase. I’ve done some knot work before so luckily I already had prepared bias tape on hand. Hard to believe that I own CRATES of fabric, and yet I don’t have any that was the correct shade of blue for the background!

"Ty? Where are you?”
"That stupid bitch is poking my ass. She had to fix something, whatever that means. She even said my ass needs fixing! She referred to my ASS!”
"Ty, I’ve called you an ass plenty of times. Nothing new there.”
"Zane, I’m going to kick your ass when she’s done. Does...
Pretty sure I just died of cuteness!
These are great Catherine! :D
Airship Sidewinder
Every pirate ship needs a pirate flag, right? I’ve been following a steampunk pirate M/M AU and I just adore steampunk, so I made this for the author. (http://airshipsidewinder.tumblr.com/)
The shape of the skull is basically Boo Davis’ design (which I’ve used before), but this time I used crazy-quilting techniques, because when I think steampunk, I think of cobbling together mismatching parts. The tan/ecru fabrics were to invoke an old-timey feel like a sepia photograph.
I made a cardboard template of gears and used it as a mask to add fabric paint. I outlined just some of them with embroidery to highlight the motif, but left some undone on purpose. (Pirates wouldn’t go for perfection, would they?)
And I just couldn’t resist adding the pirate fabric on the back. I was really pleased with how the applique letters turned out, thanks to the font and the batik fabric.
Looks awesome Mel! I love how you outlined the gears! Very cool! :D
