It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘even’ has long-term plans for trees. More from Chapter 13: “During your talk at the conference, you said the Scots pines provide over half of the energy for the isle. What happens if one falls?” Lady Pina’s eyes narrowed. “We spend considerable energy ensuring that none do,” she snapped, clearly affronted. […]
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 our hero won’t tolerate the ‘rage’ of his teammates. More from Chapter 3: By the time Daeryn caught up to them, the wolves were rolling in an outright fight, the beta Maraquin for once taking on her headstrong alpha. Leaves, dirt, fur and snarls flew in confusion. He couldn’t tell which was […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘bliss’ is not our heroine’s feels. More from Chapter 8: Instead of dirt, a patch of water shimmered in the sunlight, fed by a silvery stream diverted from the nearby creek. “Your pond seems to be there,” Beri said with a sigh. “H-how?” But now Beri’s muddy clothing made sense. Did this […]
It’s #BookQW and we all brighten the coming solstice with ‘color’. More from Chapter 2: “You feel put out?” Beri huffed. “I had to spend eight hours of the one snow day inside a school building and two more inside a bus. I had only the walk home and a few snowballs pitched at Fern.” […]
It’s #BookQW and the ‘dark’ is celebrated at the Solstice. More from Chapter 3: With the house darkened, the view through the windows showed the spruce and pines surrounding the cabin. Everybody clustered into a semicircle facing the hearth. “Heather?” Dad asked quietly. “Who shall do the lighting this year?” “I’d like Mum to have […]
