It’s #BookQW and nighttime is when our heroine ‘lights’ up! More from Chapter 1: More Trouble Than Boys Are Worth Tern Bay enclave, in the Windborne Scotland District Coral hovered, slowly flapping her feathered wings under the crisp September night sky. The last set of competitors had landed at the edge of the dueling arena […]
It’s #BookQW and our Seas siblings have a ‘long’ history of competition. More from Chapter 4: Ma straightened, tucking stray hair into her French braid. “We’ve made our decision for your safety, and I’m thankful your sister has agreed to let you stay with her on top of her generous offer of the bakery job. […]
It’s #BookQW and a ‘mistake’ can be fun! More from Chapter 17: Hoist the mainsail! Batten down the hatches! Kiss the gunner’s daughter! From the moment Ty climbed aboard The Peaceful Seas, Salm had peppered his instructions with common nautical terms, weird sea references, pirate jargon and…bilge? Salm greeted him with “Ahoy, matey,” but was […]
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 – don’t we all ‘dream’ of an exciting adventure? More from Chapter 10: Ty wasn’t the raw beginner Coral had expected. Not once had he called a line a rope. He’d even properly referred to the line controlling the mainsail as the mainsheet. He’d handled the Sunfish’s sail and tiller with no mistakes—or […]
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 my H&H are a ‘scream’ trying to sail together! More from chapter 10: Hastily, Coral checked their position. On the last trip around she’d warned Ty not to get so close to South Dock because the prevailing winds could blow them into the posts. But he’d done fine. “Ready,” she answered. He […]
It’s #BookQW and a moment with a brother seems like a ‘year’! More of the excerpt from Chapter 4: Without my magic, I can’t speak with our dolphins. And if she couldn’t give the young’uns their training directions, what was the point of sailing out to meet them? Come to think of it, she’d never […]
It’s #BookQW – don’t get caught ‘short’ of reads for #PrideMonth! Guardian of the Pines brings back old friends from Book 1 and meets new wizards for outdoor adventure, ancient tree magic and a sweet gay romance. More of the excerpt from Chapter 8: Fern crossed her arms. She shouldn’t say it, but… “You’re being […]
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 […]
