My, my what big teeth you have… Flowers and Fangs @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
Enjoy a snippet from last week: Flowers and Fangs Chapter 4 #1
This week's snippet is another snippet from Flowers and Fangs.
Chapter 4. What happened last week: Before Derek arrived, Tim told Sloane he was a vampire. Now, it seems he is proving his claim when he attacks Derek. They are locked in a fight to the death.
This is in Derek's POV.
*The excerpt may have been modified to fit the 10 sentence limit.
********************************************************************
Derek pushed the heel of his hand into the guy's jaw, trying to shove him away before fangs sunk into his flesh, and with his other hand he fumbled to find something to hit the vamp with. He managed to get a hold of a glass shard. He jabbed it into the side of Tim's neck. Tim leapt away like a spider springing up its web, but he screamed like a wounded beast. Instead of attacking again, he chose escape and dashed toward the front door.
Derek leapt to his feet and lunged for his crossbow. He loaded and rolled to get off a shot, but he was too late. Tim was gone.
The dog in the backyard continued its excessive barking and scratched at the door.
"Omigod, omigod!" Sloane kept repeating the word as if she expected the Lord almighty to explain what had just happened.
No such luck.
*********************************************************************************Now Derek and Sloane are alone. Derek must be thinking Sloane is infected too. What do you think?

Stake and Dust, Book I- These are stand alone stories. (ONLY 99¢)
A Lamia, a sea creature worthy of John Keats' prose, teams up with a vampire with serial tendencies. When young promising artists are found dead, the Preternatural Bureau sends Cassandra Hayes to the Hamptons to help a fellow hunter track down this lethal duo. She's only spoken to Mr. Green once on the phone and when she meets him in person, he is not what she expects. His hunting skills are spot on, but there is something the man is hiding, and she's determined to find out what it is despite the attraction developing between them.
Tremayne Graystone, a vampire from one of the oldest septs, is not pleased when he finds a dead hunter left on the doorstep of his pub. He should have never answered the hunter's phone, but someone is trying to frame him and he wants answers. Surely he can masquerade as Mr. Green, the hunter Cassandra is supposed to meet, before she figures out his true identity and stakes him. She's a Hayes, from a long line of vampire hunters, and fraternizing with the enemy is simply not done, but as they work together and follow the clues, the lines become blurred when he falls for the hunter's charms.
