Indie Book Review: The Sleeping Angel... Month-End Update: August 2015

The 777 Challenge

Amanda N. Butler has tagged me in The 777 Challenge! The premise of the challenge is to share seven lines from the seventh page of your current work-in-progress then tag seven writers to do the same. I’m going to be sharing an excerpt from The Cogsmith’s Daughter (Desertera #1), a flashback of a conversation between Aya, my protagonist, and her father. If you enjoy the sneak peek, be sure to sign up for my newsletter to receive your advance review copy in a month (give or take) and thank Amanda for nominating me!

Aya’s brows furrowed. “But King Archon is good, isn’t he? No one speaks ill of King Archon. He must be good.”

Papa motioned for her to stand and looked her straight in the eyes. “That’s right, Aya. You must never speak ill of King Archon or Prince Lionel or the Queen, no matter who holds the title.”

“I won’t, Papa.”

“Good.” Papa smiled and squeezed her shoulders.

Aya pursed her lips and tapped her chin. “Papa?”

“Yes?”

“Why did the Almighty King want a different bed? Was his too stiff?”

Papa chuckled. “Something like that.”
