Night Blade snippet

This is completely unedited.  Just be warned.  Looking at a release date in early 2013.

“What did you just say, bitch?”

“Damn it, Sam, be quiet.”  That came from the only other woman in there—the little bobcat.  If she’d been in catform, all her fur would standing on it.

“Ella, shut up,” Sam snarled, still not taking her eyes off me.  I smiled at her and blew her a kiss.

That did it.

She lunged for me.

It was the smart-ass things that had done Damon in, too.  Muscles pulled and screamed at me as I moved, springing into a crouch onto the couch and then jumping backward right before she would have grabbed me.

Somebody shouted at her but Damon snarled.

Everybody but Sam and I froze.

I figured he wasn’t directing it at me.  He knew I didn’t respond to the growling—he’d have to physically stop me to keep me from a stupid course of action and since he hadn’t—

I gave into the tribal beat of drums right as Sam’s bones started to shift. Damn.  She must be young if she was letting herself do that now.  In the middle of a fight, it was a waste of energy. Either do it before or wait until you had no choice.

My bow was in my hand before she finished her shift and I sighted, released.

Her pained scream ripped through the room and her shift froze and I had the disconcerting pleasure to watch as she went from nearly a full shift back into human, bit by excruciating bit.

I’d used silver.

And I’d shot her right through the throat.

Again, everybody but Damon was glaring at me.

Chang’s eyes were a little surprised and I shrugged.  “I didn’t shoot her heart. She’ll heal once the arrow is out,” I said, still holding onto my bow.

Buxton was holding her upright, careful not to dislodge the arrow.

The woman—Ella?  Yeah, it was Ella looked at me like she’d like to just run away and hide.

“Ella, get it out,” Damon said, his voice still level.

As he came off the couch, I ran a hand down the carved surface of my bow.  Her drums beat in the back of my mind and the sound of them soothed me.  Listening to that beat as he shot me a look, I held still as he turned his head.

All he did was smile a little.

An underground sex club was found while they were getting ready to demolish some buildings in Louisville-it’s an area called Whiskey Row.

So it’s been sitting abandoned for years. Stuff is decaying.  Nobody has been there for ages.

And the writer in me thinks…

  • Why did the members stop going?
  • What else will they find?

Automatically, I’m already thinking…well, if I was writing an RS…wait.  No.  I’m not telling you. Because I’ve already got ideas.

In the works…

If you click on it, it should open to a larger version.  Hopefully, we’ll have it ready to roll soon.

I’m going to be signing in Lexington, KY, in early November.  If you are in that area, we plan on having the print version of BLADE SONG at the signing, as well as my next RS book, STOLEN.

It will be a trade paperback…unfortunately it’s the only workable thing for small press books.  I selfpublished the ebook version but I know the owner of Hydra Publications and he’s helping me get the print version out.  The list price will be $9.99.  That’s the lowest we can get it, but Amazon, etc will probably knock it a little lower.

Asking for a reason, and FYI, they can’t be any of mine.  I’ve read mine.  Mine don’t count.

:)

One of my fave RS books is Holly Lisle’s I SEE YOU…

Literally had me holding my breath through half of it. That’s my ideal RS.

Got any that had you holding your breath?

Pretty please share…I need them for a blog thing. Again, remember, mine don’t count.

Snippet from THE PROTECTED

Hey folks…

As you’ve noticed, I’ve not been around much. Dealing with some stuff, trying to get edits done. I’m probably not going to be online as much although once I get edits done, I’ll try to get back to blogging more regularly.

For now, here’s a snippet from THE PROTECTED *releasing sometime in 2013, all the info I have for now*

Alone…

Hell, yes. He was alone.

Glaring down at Vaughnne, he opened his mouth to tell her…something. Anything. He needed her out of his way.

Preferably some place far away from him, because if she was far away from him then he wouldn’t be tempted to do just what she seemed to think he should do. Trust her.

She reached up and closed her hand around his wrist. “If you don’t stop running now…you never will,” she said quietly.  “Surely, somewhere in that beautiful, thick-as-stone head of yours, you have to realize that, right? Either you take a stand or spend the rest of your life running. The rest of his life running. And it’s likely to be a short one, because those people will not quit hunting you. And we can’t keep chasing after you to protect that kid when you make it clear you don’t want our help.”

“Why?”

She blinked, her lashes sweeping down to hide her dark eyes. The scattering of freckles across her cheeks caught his gaze and before he could stop himself, he lifted a hand, cupped her chin in his hand. Stroking one thumb across the silk of her skin, he waited.

“Why what?” she asked, tugging away and backing out of his reach.

“Why do you want to help at all?”

For those that enjoyed BLADE SONG, you can read a snippet and the blurb for book two over my J.C. Daniels blog.
