It’s #bookqw and I see my hero using that ‘fist’ for control more than fights. More from Daeryn in Chapter 13: (Note, Jac is Daeryn’s coworker and competition, not the heroine!) Daeryn looked up at Jac. “With over half the team out, what is there to do?” Her eyes narrowed, studying him. Maybe looking like […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern hides the ‘last’ thing Mom suspects. More from Chapter 1: Three more days and the secret—and dreaded lying—would end. Fern drew a breath. “I love you, Mom.” “You’re growing up so much, my meadowsweet, I wish…” Mom gave a watery smile and traced a design with her index finger on Fern’s […]
It’s #bookqw and our hero can see their ‘whole’ future in a pest invasion. More from Chapter 3: Daeryn stepped between them. “Let her talk. This team isn’t pack. With Owen gone, we’re equal members and have to hear each other out.” Between his mustache and beard, Zar’s lips twisted like he’d scented carrion. But […]
It’s #BookQW and this ‘time’ Cor needs to get things right. More from Chapter 1: Master Harold held out the envelope. Cor shouldn’t, but…a job Aunt Syl would agree to. He took it and pulled out the card, lighting his own fingers this time. He scanned where and when to report, attire to wear and […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern has ‘heart’ matters besides romance to address. More from Chapter 3: For a moment, Fern just stared, because—geez—one second she’d been alone, and the next here was this big guy. He looked in his late teens, with green eyes and an accent. Scottish, or Irish, she didn’t know, but he wore […]
It’s #BookQW and will Salm’s onery “blue” magic let them sail together? More from Chapter 6: So…they still needed to break the news together. Following Luna, Salm checked his good clothes again, then flicked his fingertips. His energy sparked, taking the edge off his nerves. This caught him broadside. Luna was often quiet when they […]
It’s #BookQW and will a ‘race’ solve Ty’s problems in town? More from Chapter 14: Spike snorted. “Aye, Coral, perhaps you’ll have more luck teaching him to duel than to sail.” Her eyes narrowed at the taunt. “Surely more luck than we’ve had teaching you to keep your mouth shut about…things.” Desperate to stop this […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘simple’ questions are the hardest. More from Chapter 9: “Don’t you have anything better to do?” Ouch. Simple enough question, but it stung since Ty didn’t. These scant minutes of chase and hide were the most excitement he’d had since leaving academy. His mind leaped, his adrenaline rose and his magic pumped, […]
It’s #BookQW and Fern sees the ‘tangle’ threatening the island’s future. More from Book 2 in the Windborne series, Guardian of the Pines: The flying wizards dove to the ground, gusts rising from their huge wings. When the last was down, he shouted, “Clear.” Hands lifted, and a rumble shook the ground. Then the stream […]
It’s #BookQW and will two ‘strong’ personalities sail together? More from Chapter 11: “And I already ken that you telling off your father and leaving home doesn’t change your desires to build a business. You won’t instantly decide to live on a boat because of this.” Was Salm upset they hadn’t gone away? Or about […]
