    Snippet from the Edge

    Lark drank from a tiny cup, holding it with effortless grace.  Charlotte sat across from her.  In the three days she had spent with her, Lark soaked up information like a sponge.  She was a natural mimic in the best possible sense of the word – she imitated not only the action, but the air,…

    Hair and Tiny Snippet

    The hair turned out to be fabulous.  I finally washed it – I always wait 48 hours for the dye to really settle in there, yes, I know it’s silly – and it drying now.  I really like the result.  It’s layered and makes a neat frame around my face and the stylist got red…

    Snippet: Rose and the Weird.

    Tax bill hit.  I need wine.  You get a Rose snippet, because I’m likely to be working like the wind. George opened the door.  “Welcome to Camarine Manor.” He held out his arm and she rested her hand on it and stepped out.  Three people waited for them at the top of the stairs.  The…

  • Are they in the novel or what???

    Several people have asked this question in the past few days so to summarize:  Will George and Jack get a cameo in Edge 4?  Will we get a snippet of this cameo?  Why are we not getting one now? Answer: George and Jack emerged from the crowd. “I need you to guard *redacted,” Richard said.…

  • Magic Strikes hot tub POV

    Magic Strikes hot tub POV

    Disclaimer:  I am not super comfortable with the smexy scenes.  However, I was bribed with action figures by Diana G.  I did my best to convey the Beast Lord’s thoughts and feelings but we men are simple creatures, not much goes through our head in these situations beyond “Boobies,” and “I got Snu snu” to…

  • Snipet, Edge 4: My Lord, you are a dufus.

    There may be other cool stuff later, but for now you get an Edge Snippet.  I finally figured out this book.  It’s Regency in jeans. “While I have your attention,” she said, “I’d appreciate it if in the future, when you come up with a plan that makes a hardened criminal blink, you could at…

  • Edge 4 – New Snippet

    Before you email me in outrage that the kids ages are wrong, please remember that this is a prologue and takes place a few years before the actual story.  Éléonore leaned back in her rocking chair and sipped the iced tea from a tall glass, shaped like the center of a daffodil.  The spring sun…

  • Shiloh Walker and Hex Appeal

    Shiloh Walker and Hex Appeal

    Reading I’m reading Shiloh Walker’s romantic suspense trilogy.  It’s exactly what’s advertised: romantic suspense with focus on the characters and romance.  There is a creepy serial killer, and a small sleepy town.  I might twist her arm and make her come on the blog next week. It’s pretty evenly 50/50 romance and murder.  It’s rare…

  • Gunmetal Magic Chapter 1 Pt 2

    I told you I wouldn’t leave you hanging. Chief was still alive somewhere in there. I jumped into the hole, landed on the concrete floor of the basement, and moved away from the light streaming through the hole. No need to present a clear target. Gloom filled the basement, dripping from the web into dark…

  • Gunmetal Magic Chapter 1, part 1

    Chapter One Thud! My head hit the sidewalk. Candy jerked me up by my hair and slammed my face into the asphalt. Thud! “Hit her again!” Michelle squeaked, her teenage voice shrill. I knew it was a dream, because it didn’t hurt. The fear was still there, that sharp, hot terror, mixed with helpless rage,…
