Weekend Writing Warriors And the Fire Burns DANCER OF THE NILE
Continuing on with DANCER OF THE NILE for a few more weeks…last week we had a moment of humor as Nima the Dancer and Kamin gthe Warrior were escaping their captors. This snippet today is from further on in the book, after “some events” (no spoilers!). They’re holed up in a cave, waiting for nightfall before they travel onward. Nima is dreaming about the night she was captured:
Cherry-colored flames with yellow and violet cores crackling everywhere, above and below. The blackened roof ti...

VS sez: Today it’s my pleasure to have fellow Here Be Magic Author Shawna Reppert as my guest! Her latest book RAVENSBLOOD was just released…Welcome, Shawna!
Which five people would you invite to dinner and why?
1) Sherlock Holmes ,as portrayed by Jeremy Brett.I am fascinated by the character’s intellect and his disregard of social convention with a contrasting overlay of Victorian gentlemanliness. If nothing else, it could never be a dull evening with Holmes at the table
2) The novelist Jane Au...

A Dangerous Game SFR Brigade Presents WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM
I’ll keep going a bit more with excerpts from WRECK OF THE NEBULA DREAM but then we start to get into spoiler territory, so not too many more weeks on this one….I’ve skipped ahead a bit. Nick, Khevan and Mara have managed to shift enough wreckage in the family’s cabin out of the way to allow him to climb through and reach the trapped children. Now he’s trying to convince the kids to trust him, before the bulkheads give way. Paolo is eight and his sister is three.
“Okay, Paolo, you seem like a...

I think the picture says it all in this vintage 1956 print ad from COLE bathing suits:

Weekend Writing Warriors Steal a Chariot in DANCER OF THE NILE
Staying with my latest release, Dancer of the Nile, which takes us back to Ancient Egypt. This follows last week’s snippet where Nima warned Kamin not to eat the stew. Avoiding spoilers, I’ve moved ahead a little, skipped a bit, as they’re trying to make their getaway from the enemy. A little creative editing to stay within the eight sentence rule. The story blurb is below the photo.
She’d already gotten one horse hitched to a chariot. Kamin set the sword and shield in the vehicle and...

ESCAPE FROM ZULAIRE Video Book Trailer Debut
I’m always thrilled to have a new book trailer to debut and it’s such fun to work with the awesomely talented (and patient) Theresa McClinton of Making It Reel. Here’s the backstory of how we work on the trailers!
First I give her the book cover art, the blurb and any really quotable reviews there might be. Then we start by selecting the music – she sends me a set of suggestions, which I dutifully listen to and make notes about. Last time I even got brave and went questing on the soundtrack si...

Weekend Writing Warriors Is there a plan? DANCER OF THE NILE
Switching this week to my latest release, Dancer of the Nile, which takes us back to Ancient Egypt again. This is the second night, when Nima the Dancer has been forced to cook dinner yet again for the enemy soldiers. We’re in Kamin’s viewpoint. A little creative editing to stay within the eight sentence rule. The story blurb is below the photo.
Tonight’s meal smelled even better than the stew the night before. Sundown breezes brought a whiff his way, causing painful cramps in his gut,...
