It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘might’ be nervous himself. I’ve chosen this particular ‘might’ quote because it illustrates a positive point noted in this week’s review of Guardian of the Pines on Raise Them Righteous: “In particular, Cor’s race and sexuality are admirably front-and-center. Rather than making these incidental facets of his character, they are integral […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘please’ my heroine would like less drama in her life! More from Chapter 11: While she fastened the cart with a sailor’s knot, Spike approached. “It’s a fine machine.” “Thanks. Name’s Ty. And yours?” “Marlin,” he answered, now all bravado. She straightened, and Ty’s gaze briefly met hers, a smile twitching his […]
It’s #BookQW – and the ‘wait’ is over for my H&H to make a move. More from Chapter 11: Ty scrambled up to sit opposite her. “Geez,” he muttered. “I never would have thought you could do it, as skin—petite as you are.” He grabbed the mainsheet and tiller and steered them toward the dock. […]
It’s #BookQW – and my hero keeps a ‘dry’ sense of humor around the heroine’s family. More from two chapters & two points of view–hers, then his: Coral stepped to the center of the dock, dropped the towel and stripped off the life vest and wet clothes down to her bright blue bikini. No sense […]
It’s #BookQW – and ‘perfect’ timing –it’s release day for Lost Whisperer of the Seas! More from Chapter 8, Trading Confidences: Coral wished Ty’s question was about something else, but he hadn’t wasted time. Nice and open. She climbed off the scooter, using the action to avoid his gaze and decide. Better to tell him […]
It’s #BookQW and perhaps you’ll ‘find’ a new path or new love, like my H&H! More from Chapter 3 (coming in two short weeks!): “She’s showing her control, Salmon, when you aren’t. No one should tell anyone, since illegal dueling is why we’re doing it.” Ma pointed to a pile of bags. “Please take our […]
It’s #BookQW and this family history has been held ‘tight’! More from The Twisting, Volume Two of The Luminated Threads, Chapter 3: Miriam lifted the mug, and a smile etched itself across her tired face. “You’re a strong-willed woman. Just like your mother.” Annmar’s eyes widened. “Mother? You knew my mother?” Without realizing it, she […]
Hi Everyone! I’m late with my Book Quote Wednesday post because I was turning in my book! I’ve been head-down in the writing cave for a few weeks now polishing Lost Whisperer of the Seas. Somehow, I always have more changes to make than I thought. I turned the novel in last night after a […]
It’s #BookQW, where tripping can be good ‘luck’. More from Chapter 5: Looking out the door, Fern stumbled on the steps. She hadn’t been on the “tree” side of the bus when they drove up, so had had no warning. The park was as Mr. Acer described—a rocky hill topped by a spreading oak—but she […]
It’s #BookQW and this is the ‘night’ Cor’s story starts. Excerpt from: Chapter 1 ~ Methods of Escape Bonterra City, in the Windborne Britain District Well past midnight, Cor glided in a serpentine motion down dark, tree-lined streets. His longboard’s wheels made a rhythmic thump crossing the concrete’s seams, and he pumped his wings every […]
