We had to go and get glasses for the whole family today and I’m working late to make up. Thought I’d share qa tiny snippet to make up for my snarling earlier.
Must keep it entertaining.
Oh and here is some Vitas for you.
Inside the air proved colder than on the street. A fresh pine scent floated on the draft. Several pine sapplings grew from barrels set in the corners. Opaque lamps hung from the ceiling on long chains. As they made their way through the crowded isle, the lights came on in yellow electric glory.
William looked at Cerise.
“We have a power plant,” she said. “It runs on peat.”
This had to be some sort of human joke he didn’t get.
She looked at his face and grinned. “Seriously. It burns really well once you dry it. We heat the house with it.”
That had to be the craziest thing he’d heard. It’s like they looked around and said, “Hey what do we have a shitload of?”
“Mud! It’s cold and wet. I know, let’s burn it!”
“Well, it ain’t good for nothing else.”
What the hell? He supposed if fish could have legs, than mud could burn. Spider or no Spider, if their cats started flying, he would be out of here like a rocket.





Spider or no Spider, if their cats started flying, he would be out of here like a rocket. LMAO One of your best lines evah!
Very cool! Thank you!
I need to get an eye exam again soon. But I order my glasses online. It’s much cheaper and they work just as well. And then I get several pairs and don’t care if I break them!
I’m more a fan of the peat burning reaction. Funny. ^_^
I want more worldbuilding/information…
Yeah, this one might be too heavy on romance for your tastes.
I like some romance. I like how you handle romance. If it’s all heaving bosoms and “I feel neglected because you’re too busy saving the world to smex me up” then… well, not so much.
Anyway, you haven’t shown as much romance as you have the nifty expansion of the Edge (or is it the Weird?) But I’m intrigued and William is fun. Though I suppose, given his…trouble understanding human nature, I think writing him as the romantic lead will take more work than Declan or Curran. I’m very curious to see how you keep him believable and also more romantic than say…dumping dead animals on Cerise’s doorstep or beating up people who annoy her. (Well, that’s kind of romantic in my book.)
…dead animals on the doorstep isn’t romantic? That explains so much about me.
=A
OK, it’s kind of cute if you’re oh say a kitten. Not so much if you’re going the route of Fatal Attraction, etc.
LMAO! I’m just loving william here.
^_^~ lurve it~
awesome snippet!!! Love the sarcasm in william’s thoughts! *G*
and flying cats… hehe…. look at the latest addition to the LolCats thread
Hoover Cat
Thanks for the snippet. I really like William.
One question: Would you mind to share the secret of your time machine with me? Would be handy if I could go back a month and do my work. Would give me more time to read now.
(The date above your last two word count bars read 10/04/2009 and 10/05/2009. So you are going back in time, aren’t you??)
Thank you…. more William more William.
I can’t wait to read the next book already hooked here.
Loving William’s thoughts! Will he be the only narrator in Edge2, or will Cerise narrate too? I like how we get his viewpoints, especially since he’s not entirely human.
Fun Snipet!
Thanks for posting the video! It gave me chills all over.
loved those flying cats thought…
