#8Sunday 03/05/17 We WriWa
Another Sunday! Time for some intriguing snippets. Want to see more? Check out the WeWriWa blog page. You won’t be disappointed.
This week, I’m going to wander back to the beginning of The Wildblood series and post a snippet from the prequel novella, Backlash. This is a group of officers discussing their newest rookie, Shannon.

“So are you taking your Scout out tomorrow?” Ballentyne, Mick in his off-duty time, peered down from the second floor loft, making his point to the yo...

Well, I mucked that up! With my new schedule, I thought Sunday was Saturday and missed my deadline last week. You can catch the snippet here so you know what’s happening.
This is a rough draft of a short one, between books 1 and 2 of The Wildblood series. A romancey snippet, with Mac & Shan.

Edging closer, she caught his hand and locked their fingers together. “I haven’t been ignoring it, as much as I want to. What do we do now?”
“We get up in a few hours and do what we’ve been...

It’s that time again, and I’m running a little late today. Sorry about that. Check out the blog for a whole batch of authors that probably are more organized than I am.
Here’s a few words, a continuation from last week.

Shan smiled, entirely spontaneous. She was like that, when they were alone.
“You and I,” Mac went on, “That’s complicated and we both know it.”
“I don’t want us to change.”
“We already have and even if we’d never left The Vista, it would happen. I’ve told you...

Check out the blog!
I find books here all the time that I just can’t pass up.
OK, I’m writing a novel and novella of The Wildblood series at the same time. I don’t see a problem with this.
One of the novellas in the works is going to be centered on personal relationships, one in particular. Yes, romance is involved. I’m writing it as if I’m the only person who will ever read it. This one is for me.
A few words for you. Shannon and Mac.

Notes on Book 3
So I’m finally underway on this one. It took some time because I’ve been trying to sugarcoat my characters. The simple fact is, they’re going to do things that are questionable. Even the protagonists. With that in mind, I’m getting some words down. I’m also making a lot of notes for myself that I’ll need later. I thought I’d share.

“Don’t trust that the things you see or hear are the absolute truth, not now, not until all three of us are in The Vista together, telling you.”

Ha! I made it. My work week changed and it messed up my schedule. But I have a few words. Apparently, I’m going to write Books 3 & 4 of The Wildblood at the same time. Should be interesting.
Check out the WeWriWa blog for a whole list of authors offering their tasty snippets.

This particular set of words are from Book 3. Hopefully, titles will be happening soon, as well. This is Wade, giving excuses why he’s about to disappear into the scenery. Of course, he has ulterior motives.

Claimed by the Cyborg: a little problem with an arranged marriage…
By Cara Bristol
Arranged marriages are popular in historical fiction, especially in Regency romance, but it makes for an interesting trope in science fiction romance as well.
An arranged marriage is one in which a third party, often the parents or grandparents, match the bride and groom. The couple may or may not have veto rights. A marriage in which they have no say is called a forced marriage. In some cultures, the bride and...
