WHY ARE YOU WORKING ON ANOTHER BOOK, MISSY??
Elizabeth wrote: "WHY ARE YOU WORKING ON ANOTHER BOOK, MISSY??"I said already, this is my 100-for-100 project so I have to write at least 100 words a day for 100 days.

“A8, detain her, and remember, we’re supposed to bring her in alive.”
“Alive you say?” Rane said. The bounty hunter turned to her, his eyes widening in either surprise or horror, which she wasn’t sure. “So you’re saying that I could do literally anything and you wouldn’t shoot me?”
“I’ll still shoot you. It just won’t be fatal.”
“Interesting concept, but what if you miss?”
“I don’t miss.”
“Let’s not test that theory.”
“There is nothing to test.”
“Cocky much?” Rane muttered rolling her eyes.
Ooo, I love it! I actually have characters whose names are A1, A2, A3, etc. so it's a bit weird seeing the name A8 and realizing it's not from mine XD
That's awesome Nicki, loving the banter!!

Excerpt...
Rane slipped the supposed Arch Duse of Arpelago’s coin purse into the interior pocket of her leather jacket. Her hand bumped a small round ball and with a frown she pulled it out.
Then she blinked in surprise. At the metal ball glinting up at her. A smoke bomb. She had forgotten that she had it in there.
Rane chucked it over her shoulder toward the sheriff and then poured on the speed as people began crying out in horror. She dearly hoped that was in fact a smoke bomb and not one filled with noxious fumes, deadly to most humans. She didn’t know where she would have gotten one. But then she didn’t know where she’d gotten a smoke bomb either.

Elizabeth wrote: "That's awesome Nicki, loving the banter!!"Would it be a book of mine if it didn't have banter? ;P
No it would not. ^.^ Love your MC's name btw.
Elizabeth wrote: "No it would not. ^.^ Love your MC's name btw."Rane? I have a couple Mcs in this series so just making sure XD

Most are just side characters with no real plot significance, but I do have an A1 who might just be the most sarcastic puppy of a man ever. That excerpt, by the way, is magnificent! You have such a unique style of writing. I really want to know more now!

His hands shot up. So how exactly did he end up in this situation is what he wanted to know. Being held at gunpoint in his own ship. And the person holding the gun happened to be a very angry, probably unreliable extremely short thief with a purple streak in her hair.
And if that didn’t make matters bad enough…
“Your gun is falling apart,” he muttered.
Unbelievable. He couldn’t even get held up properly.
“You think I don’t know that without you having yo point it out to me?” she snapped
Yeah, Rane. ;PHaha, love the excerpt!

Whoops, it seems as if i was a little remiss in updating this thread. Anyway, here's an excerpt...
Rane raised her cuffs and coughed daintily into them. “Ahem, hate to interrupt the family reunion but… why exactly are you having a family reunion in a Federation jail cell?”
Calrin shrugged. “When life gives you your reclusive runaway brother who you haven’t seen in years, you reunite with him. Regardless of where you are. You know, lemonade and all that.”
Kyeler rolled his eyes. “I’d forgotten how badly you butchered those old Earthen phrases.”
xD Nicki. xD I love Kyeler & Rane. >.<

Rane is the best. Of course her hair never stays the same color for long XD

Cool. How do you spell your character's name?

XD What's not to love?
6/6/19- 214 words.Excerpt...
Calrin grinned at Kyeler in a way that Rane couldn't decide was fond or an aggravated “I’ll kill you” smile. Maybe it was an “I’ll kill you fondly” smile.

Ahehehe, love it. XD
Rane's sarcasm and snark sort of reminds me of myself *grins* Not going to lie, I really like this character, so I hope you continue to post excerpts with her in them!
Nothing's not to love!! Definitely falling for Kyeler over here. 💕 xD

XD Glad that you do!
Oceane wrote: "Rane's sarcasm and snark sort of reminds me of myself *grins* Not going to lie, I really like this character, so I hope you continue to post excerpts with her in them!"Rane is just an all around relatable character XD

Kyker.
He was inspired by my cousin."
That is similar to Kyeler, but not quite ;P

Excerpt...
Kyeler glanced at him. “I’ve killed a lot of people.”
Calrin’s ear must really be working because he heard Rane gulp.
“I don’t care who you kill in your free time. But you killed one of our best agents and we don’t take that lightly. Now bear in mind this isn’t revenge or anything,” he said clasping his hands behind his back. “Our decision to recruit you has absolutely nothing to do with that agent you killed. But think of it as your comeuppances. Because, you know, we wouldn’t have actually had anything on you to use as blackmail if you hadn’t created that one black mark in your history.”

6/15/19- 176 words.Excerpt...
Calrin wasn’t quite sure what they needed a crazy thief, a murderous bounty hunter, and an amazingly good looking pilot for. It sounded more like the beginning of a bad joke than a Federation endorsed mission.
Aww, thank you. I take that as a compliment, Nicki. Haha, this is gonna be good. ^.^

“It’s a relic of some sort. From the time before advanced space travel I think? I don’t know the specific details, but it’s old.” She had known that just by touching it. It had felt like it would fall apart at her touch. Of course then she had jumped out of a window with it. Little stinker was sturdier than it looked.
Hmmmm . . . . Are you editing Nicki?? *frowns*

Editing? Editing what?
A Winter Dark and Deadly or A Time of Trepidation, Pirates, and Lost Princesses??

Excerpt:
She reached up and fingered her hair, it was its usual brown with only a purple streak. She would probably redye it soon. Something outrageous. Something different. Something that people would look at her and think “what was she thinking?” and she would laugh silently at their judging because her secret is that she doesn’t think. It’s one of her many qualities.
