Snippet Sunday: Confusion Proves Catchy…The Gryphon and His Thief @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday
Welcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I'd change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.
If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link. Chapter 3 #1
Set up: We're jumping a few paragraphs from last week. Calli awakes to find Darrien in her room and she demands to know who he is and why he's in her room. Darrien believes Calli is his wife reincarnated and he has another chance to keep her safe. Only he's confused why she doesn't recognize him.
*The excerpt was modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. There are a few long sentences.
***********************************************************
"Callista, we must talk," he said. "I am not sure—"
"Who's Callista?" she questioned, interrupting him before he took this further.
"You don't remember me, do you?" he asked. She could see a battle going on inside of him as if he couldn't comprehend why she didn't know him.
Yeah, confusion seemed to be catchy tonight. "For your information, crazier-than-the-mad-hatter-on-a-good-day, my name is Calli. So you have the wrong girl if you think I'm this Callista chick."
***********************************************************
Wrong girl? Darrien doesn't believe so. How will he convince her when she thinks he's a nutter?
**If you have a chance, I would sure love your vote!! The Gryphon and His Thief is up for Best Young Adult/New Adult novel at P&E! http://critters.org/predpoll/novelyoungadult.shtml

Some Treasures are Priceless…
A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.
Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate's Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.
As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.
