Six Sentence Sunday – 8/29

Sunday, Bloody Sunday…well for my characters at least. Six sentences from my work in progress, the third book in the Rebirth series.

"You don't have to do this."

"Yes, I do. We both need it," I added.

"I'm yours, Ev. I always have been and last night isn't going to change that."

"Then I need this to reassure myself I'm not the monster I fear."

For those new to this, the rules are simple:

1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy
2) pick...

Six Sentence Sunday – 8/22

This week I'm on a business trip, so I'm getting some progress (although slow) done on the third Rebirth book. Here's a snippet:

"He already said it was because I needed to claim my birthright again."

"But he took you past there. He gave you the gift of something more. And it's not just about Ana. Remember this, Evande. Nothing comes without a cost."

For those new to this, the rules are simple:

1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy

Splitting Time

I'm splitting my time today – I'm over at RWA's special interest chapter Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal blog today talking about craft, specifically comparisons. http://ffnp.blogspot.com/

Six Sentence Sunday – 8/15

I thought I'd share something new I'm working on – an Urban Fantasy Romance with gargoyles as the fantasy creatures. And hoo-boy, is he one fantasy creature. *ahem* Back to the point…it'll be something new, unconnected to anything else I've written so far - tentatively titled Fighting Daybreak. I've fudged the six sentences a little this week (by two) but necessary, really. Rough and uncut:

"We need O positive STAT. She's bleeding out."

Farren' s hand pulsed around the small heart she cradled...

Six Sentence Sunday – 8/8

Today is August 8th. Not only is it Six Sentence Sunday, it is also an anniversary for me. See, one year ago today, I pushed the SEND button to submit what would become my first published eBook. So, in celebration, enjoy six sentences from FLASH OF DARK.

The rope at my wrists chaffed against delicate skin as I struggled against them, wanting to have my hands on him, but the pain only fueled the need raging inside of me. His hands skimmed up my arms, our fingers lacing together and I...

Cut One – Add Three

I never made it a secret that writing Blood Fever was easy. It wasn't. I struggled with the story a lot to get the right sense of the characters. The core of the story stayed the same throughout – Evande illegally turns Logan and they both flee the Elders. Quinn is the one to give them shelter. Pretty simple really. Gotta say, it was anything but simple to get the story in the format that was released a few weeks ago. But I am very proud of how the book turned out.

For something a little...

Six Sentence Sunday – 8/1

I'm planning on having a post later this week about a deleted scene from Blood Fever, the second book in the Rebirth series. And I know all I've had updates on lately has been mainly excerpts, but that's because I've been hard at work on the second book in Star Runner's Saga, Midnight's Shadow. Happy to report, earlier this week, I finished it. So…enjoy six sentences from it:

As I stood outside the entrance hatch, I stripped off my glove and caressed my bare fingertips over the outer hull...

Six Sentence Sunday – 7/25

I'd been thinking about this story lately and thought I'd share a little, though I've fudged the six count a little. Un-edited, of course. From my upcoming release, Hardware.

The aroma of her arousal washed over him and he inhaled the heavy musk scent as he trailed a line of openmouthed kisses over her inner thigh. He felt her muscles start to tremble under his touch. His fingers parted the scorching hot flesh between her legs and his tongue slowly rasped over the bundle of nerves he found...
