Riga Snarl

 

Riga Snarl

Riga picked up the pistol. I will show you! Good it's loaded three shots in it. Where is that cocksucker? Pedro took my pet dog. Bastard! Bastard from Portugal. You learn the hard way my ex. You will die for stealing Riga's green coloured pet dog. My dog Hongdu is the only green dog ever. He isn't a brush painted green one. A fake. Hongdu is real. I got him from Juniper's Daughter after we went to an alien world. Hongdu isn't an Earthling dog. He's from Planet Ming Ming. The same name as the pussy cat. You better bring him back to me or else. I've three slugs in this pistol. It just takes one to off you. Pedro the bastard from Portugal! Oh, how you make my blood boil bright red! Wait Pedro. I will get Hongdu back. I will take my time and use my ship. I will stalk you and abduct you. Tie you up. Shoot you three times in the face. I know my green dog Hongdu will be with you. No need to ask you. Though I'll ask you why you stole him. I will pre- flight my flying saucer. Soon Hongdu will be here. Get ready Pedro. You will meet your maker. Any love we had is gone. I only feel anger for you. This transcript is over. And you will soon be Pedro...

Riga Chilled time

Riga Chilled Time
Riga was chilling out between flights. She was in the ready room with the other pilots. One pilot, a small man named Brown, cooked some rice. It was two days old. He fried it with egg and honey. It looked disgusting yet smelled delightful. The taste was even better. Riga took a plate. 

"This is lovely Brown. How the hell did you decide to put honey with it? Never seen that before." Riga munched away using a big spoon. Two big sausages joined the meal. All were soon eaten. 

"Another plate Riga? Nice isn't it? I was experimenting and even tried strawberry jam. It was too sweet. Honey was just right. The egg balances it out." Brown scooped more rice onto her plate. 

"Cheers mate. The rice is indeed yummy. It's my fuel like high octane is for our planes. Thanks. Two plates will be enough hehe." The small gal pilot would get bigger if she ate any more! Then she would need a bigger flight suit. 

"Have as much as you want Riga. It's an honour to cook for the squadrons' pilots.have a good flight." Brown went on serving the other pilots and ground crew. He had three big pans of fried rice. All would be eaten.

"Appreciate the sentiments. Later." Riga finished her meal and coffee. She had a patrol by the river later. Enemy planes had been probing the defenses. She would provide the defense and probe them with her own guns. Riga the ace pilot. Today fuelled by honey egg fried rice and sausages!

I Am Riga!

 


I Am Riga!

My name is Riga!

I am small in height

I excel in critical thinking

I am very bad tempered

I am warm and caring

I am a real person

I love my family

I have little feet

I am cute like a guinea pig

I work as a Team Leader

I am a soldier

I fought in several battles

I am a spy and operative

I am a criminal mastermind

I am a spaceship pilot

I own a flying saucer

I visited other planets

I am a fighter pilot

I fly a Messerschmitt 309 plane

I have a witch friend Juniper's Daughter

I dated Pedro for over two years

I do not think of Pedro now

I ghosted Pedro after my father died

I am different now after losing father

I like alternative music

I like tattoos

I like hiking mountains

I could go on but will not

I am Riga!

new poems

 

Whet

Fly to where

On this world

Or an alien one

To do that

You need to fly to it

A trip away

In a vehicle

All about aerospace

Build such a craft

I’ll go along

Far from Earth

We the explorers

Discovering what?

//////////////


Really Excel

Try to make it in whatever thing you do

Write a bestselling book sell a million

Take award winning photos get the shot of the century

Set up your own business hope it works out

All this and more the will and way to succeed

What steps have you taken to make this work?

Let’s compare notes my writing business and yours

Are you able to learn from me I and me from you?

None of this is easy and success isn’t guaranteed

/////////////////


Nominate

What will you do if it goes bad

With this new one

So much potential

A lot to go wrong

Just like the last one

Or the third after this

When will one remain?

No more chasing

Or being available

Simply pick one

Keep hold of her

I nominate this one

She’s as good as any

Top of the list

No other gal needed

Let the world keep turning

Let the gal and I

Remain static in place

Enough is a pause

We are for good

//////////////


Best Book

What book to put this poem in?

Under my real name or a pen name

For too much can or cannot be said

Maybe I will use your name

For my book how about that?

I become you the normal person

Not different or alternative or odd

Will you cope being me?

And what of me being you

Or even your sister or cousin

Watch this space see my book

Stand in line buy the first copy

The best book ever!

//////////////


See the big gal there/getting off the bus, wallop!/suspension up down!

Riga Falling From A Great Height

me writing journey

​Here is a bit about me. I have 30 years of my writing. I started in April 1996. I was 1st published November 96 in an Alanis Morrissette zine. This was poetry and I wrote several times a week and sent work off. I was rapidly published in the Small Press in the UK in the 90s. Think of magazines/zines/anthologies. A broad range of publications and poems. I was 1st published online in 03 with a poem. In 07 I worked with an editor on 4 books printed poem/short story collections. I paid for his services and he was very good. He taught me a lot. I went indie then self publishing my work as he showed me. I did many books and do to this day. I had an American ebook publisher in 09/11. I had several ebook sales of romance/erotica/horror etc. I left after edit issues. And continued to do my work solo, all of it. Research/write/edit/covers/promote. 

I want you to look at my case and situation and see if this is even possible. I do not write fantasy series books like or romance novels. as a stand alone genre. My work is broad under several pen names. I am not one size fits all hehe. Just now I am working on a poem book and a short story collection (Riga book 7). And more files set up to work on, poem wise. 

I have several blogs where I promote my work too. I will include links. I am in work now in Manila where I have lived for a while. I am English. Writing is one of main interests as is tattoos, aviation, hiking, etc. I often write about these and other things. My books are ebook and printed on the usual sites like Smashwords (now D2D), Amazon etc. I used Lulu before but stopped due to publishing issues. 

I had pages and a group on Meta (FB) but they were kind enough to delete my accounts in October 2026. I deleted my own pages years ago after my previous author account was also deleted. I use rival sites like Mewe/Bluesky etc. I network with several big selling authors on Bluesky. They ask about my writing journey. It's very different from their own. 

Please take a look at my books and myself (sellers/politicians sell themselves and their pitch/products). Sales is an issue. Why I emailed you after my mate mentioned it and you. We can see what if anything can be improved.

My writing names: 

Nick Armbrister
Jimmy Boom Semtex
Brian Von Blimp and others

My blog list is several. Will add later but am on Mewe/Bluesky/Blogger etc.

The question is, how to promote my alternative writing books? This is where you com in. I am a non-conformist and do my own thing. You can tell my end result on my books and sales hehe. Over to you. Thank you.
