Science Fiction Fantasy #58
Cover by Danielle FineHello! *waves* Welcome to another #sffsat snippet, and my last from The Bones of the Sea. Well, it's free to download if you want to read the rest so I'm going to leave you with a final taster.
“Myasi, are you done yet?”The question, out of the blue and resonating into her skull from her earpiece, set her heart pounding so hard within her chest that her wrist monitor bleeped in warning. Damn it! Couldn’t they trust her to do her job without firing sudden demands at her?Sh...

The SFR Brigade Presents - example
Welcome to the SFR Brigade Presents! I'm going to give you two quick examples of what you could do for your snippets, but this is by no means set in stone - more a guide for those who aren't familiar with Six Sentence Sunday and similar. It should be a paragraph, but you're allowed up to a maximum of 200 words. Please include SFR Brigade Presents either in the title or in your post, with a (short) introduction to your snippet if needed eg. this is the opening scene of my science fiction roman...

Six Sentence Sunday #69
Cover by Renee Rocco, Lyrical Press Inc.Hello! *waves* Welcome to another - and the penultimate - #sixsunday snippet. *gasp* So, before the end I thought I'd share a more intimate snippet between my two main characters, to tempt you back for the very last one next week. :-P“Quin…” He could not find any words beyond her name. His hands traveled upward, caressing her back. Her skin felt like flame wrapped in velvet, and the pleasure he drew from it echoed in her thoughts and flowed back, augmen...

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday #57
Cover by Danielle Fine Welcome to another #sffsat snippet. Thanks to everyone who stops by and comments. Continuing with my scifi short, and Myasi is diving deeper...A visor covered her eyes, overlaying the murk-dimmed outlines of the Bones of the Sea with a neon-bright schematic to guide her. The discoid base of the structure measured a modest ten meters in diameter that was matched by the height of the twelve arched legs. Its klingeln framework, impenetrable to scans, had become encrus...

Six Sentence Sunday #68
Cover by Renee Rocco, Lyrical Press IncHello! Welcome to my #sixsunday snippet, and a huge thank you to everyone who stops by and comments. Another teaser from my science fiction romance Keir for you, and I thought I'd give you a better look at my hero...if the cover isn't enough. :-P
For a moment, Quin stared. Shock blazed a hot trail through her veins. Oh, Hades, I never thought it would be human!
Now she understood the nickname given to him and how the legend had misled her into believing th...

Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday #56
Cover by Danielle FineHello! *waves* Welcome back to my #sffsat post - I've been AWOL for a few weeks with the Christmas holidays, but hopefully I will be back to a more regular appearance now. I've decided to take a break from Terms & Conditions Apply for a bit and go back to my very first publication - The Bones of the Sea - which had a cover makeover last month. So, the opening ten sentences from my scifi short...
The place gave her the creeps. Myasi could admit that to herself now, as...

Seven reasons why I'm not following you back on #Twitter
Warning - this is a rant. Okay, maybe not quite a rant because I've mulled this over a few times to make sure these are the top seven things that annoy me most about Twitter. I may lose a few followers over this, but I know in general most of my friends get annoyed by these kind of things too. So, the reasons I won't auto-follow you back:
1.A profile without an image/information, or a profile that is just links and/or tells me nothing about YOU. As Dr.Evil would say "throw me a frickin' bone h...

Cover by Renee Rocco, Lyrical Press Inc.
Hello! *waves* Welcome to another #sixsunday snippet, and thanks to all who stop by and comment. I can't believe SSS ends this month. *sob* Doing SSS has taught me so much, done wonders for my confidence, and introduced me to so many talented authors. It'll be weird when it's gone!
So I'm going back to the book I started posting when I first joined - my debut release Keir. A slightly modified six (to fit in the limit), and my two main characters have bee...
