Every once in a while, I think most writers probably get these ideas that are just plain fun.\u00a0 Fun…as in, sitting down to write the book is like jumping on a roller coaster, a quick, wild ride that just never lets up.<\/p>\n

\"Grimm's<\/a>Candy Houses<\/a> was one of those ideas.\u00a0 Candy Houses…think dark, bloody fairy tales, set in modern times.\u00a0 The heroine is like a dark-haired version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer-complete butt kicker.\u00a0 Hero wears long, flowing sort of coat-the duster type and likes sharp shiny objects.\u00a0 He’s been mooning after her for a hundred years.\u00a0 She’s so scarred from her childhood, she copes by keeping people at a distance.\u00a0 In comes a certain individual who takes steps to force these two together.\u00a0 I had so much fun writing this one.\u00a0 I’ve already got ideas spinning for at least three more, and I can’t wait.<\/p>\n

But…. I’m a little nervous.\u00a0 You see, this was my first stab at writing first person.\u00a0 But it’s not in first person the whole way through.\u00a0 I need the male’s POV, too.\u00a0 So it alternates… the heroine’s POV is first person.\u00a0 Hero’s POV is third.\u00a0 I think<\/em> I made the flow smooth enough, but I dunno.\u00a0 I do hope people like it, because I just plain loved writing this story.<\/p>\n

There’s an excerpt<\/a> at my site, but here’s a different one… from Greta’s POV.<\/p>\n

Candy Houses, the first book in the Grimm’s Circle series, comes out in ebook this October.<\/p>\n

*<\/p>\n

I was pretty sure I hadn\u2019t felt this kind of terror in a long time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not really afraid of dying. Or at least, normally, I\u2019m not. Remember that \u201chard to kill\u201d thing I mentioned?<\/p>\n

I am<\/em> hard to kill, but a bocan is strong enough to tear my head from my shoulders, and they are fast. That doesn\u2019t sound like a fun way to go.<\/p>\n

They are killing machines. Big, dumb killing machines and I was facing this one totally unprepared. The knife I carried wasn\u2019t long enough to kill the thing unless I was really, really lucky. I\u2019m good, but with these things, being good with a knife isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

A sword would be better.<\/p>\n

A cannon<\/em> would be better.<\/p>\n

Warily, I backed away, circling around and trying to lead the bocan away from the girl. I didn\u2019t know if she\u2019d be able to see it when she woke up. It depended on how far she\u2019d dipped her toes into the waters of evil and death. I could hope that when she saw it, if<\/em> she saw it, it might scare her straight, but I\u2019m not really big on hope right now.<\/p>\n

Not the way the night was going.<\/p>\n

And to think I\u2019d been bored just a few hours ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo how long have you been hanging around this plane?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

The bocan didn\u2019t speak. Their race didn\u2019t have vocal chords. Other than the sibilant sounds they made when they breathed, they were quiet. They moved quietly, they attacked quietly and they killed quietly. Big, dumb, ugly\u2026and quiet. They ought to be loud\u2014only seemed fair. Something like this breathing death down your neck, there should be some sort of warning.<\/p>\n

It cocked its head. The dim light danced over the dull gold scales that covered it from head to toe. Those scales were like armor. It had been a while since I\u2019d faced a bocan\u2026probably two or three hundred years, but I hadn\u2019t forgotten how big they are, how strong they are or how hard they are to kill. At least the last time I\u2019d faced one I\u2019d had a for-real sword.<\/p>\n

It came at me, a silent rush of death. At the very last second, I spun out of the way and felt the blast of air as it swiped out at where I\u2019d stood only a heartbeat earlier. The thing\u2019s hands ended in claws that measured close to three inches long.<\/p>\n

The skin along the back of my neck prickled as I once more started to circle away from the bocan, weaving around it in nonsensical patterns. It made another rush and this time, instead of moving aside, I went down and sliced upward. Black, bitter blood covered me as I managed to break skin. It shuddered, but I figured out very quickly that while I\u2019d hurt the demon, I hadn\u2019t slowed it down. It slashed out as I scrambled away. Those claws got closer that time.<\/p>\n

And then again. This time it caught me. I bit my lip to keep from screaming as the claws managed to get me in the belly, slicing me open. Blood flowed.<\/p>\n

Shit\u2014<\/p>\n

A hand came out of nowhere and grabbed me, hauling me aside.<\/p>\n

Dazed, I fell against the crumbled rock wall at my back and watched. I was in a state of shock, I think. I didn\u2019t recognize the man at first\u2026well, not consciously. My body probably would have, if I hadn\u2019t been losing huge quantities of blood through the gashes in my belly. I whimpered and shrugged out of the blood-soaked jacket I wore and balled it up, pressing it to my wounded stomach.<\/p>\n

The flesh was already knitting back together. I could literally feel it, deep, deep inside. It was a bad injury. If I was still wholly human, I\u2019d be dead already. As it was, I was losing a lot of blood. Even us pseudo-immortals get weak when we lose too much blood.<\/p>\n

Sinking to the ground, I watched as the man fought the bocan.<\/p>\n

He was a lot more equipped to handle the thing than I was, that was for sure. The bocan tried to gut him with those lethal claws but the man moved away, quick as a wish. I saw one hand disappear inside the long coat he wore\u2014something about that coat, the way it stretched over his shoulders, tickled a memory. I wouldn\u2019t look at his face. Thinking about it now, I know why I wouldn\u2019t look, because I knew in my heart who he was, and I needed to prepare myself a little bit more before I actually looked<\/em> at him.<\/p>\n

Instead, I focused on his hands\u2026and on the very awesome weapon he\u2019d drawn from inside that long, black coat. It was a black cylinder, maybe two, two and a half feet long. Yeah, I know, that doesn\u2019t sound too flashy. It would do some serious damage to a human, probably even a number of manifested demons.<\/p>\n

But a nine-foot-tall bocan?<\/p>\n

Nope. Right up until he twisted it, I wasn\u2019t impressed. But then he twisted it. I heard the whisper of metal as two edged blades appeared, one out either end of the metal cylinder.<\/p>\n

Now it was five feet long, and bladed on both ends.<\/p>\n

He used it like an artist. He moved like a dancer of death. The silver flashed through the air. His body barely seemed to touch the ground before he was moving off again. Eerie, deadly and oh so lovely to look at. In a rather morbid way, of course.<\/p>\n

Black blood stained the metal as he sliced through the bocan\u2019s scales.<\/p>\n

The bocan hissed.<\/p>\n

The man just laughed. That laugh. I knew that laugh.<\/p>\n

Rip\u2026<\/p>\n

Just before I passed out, I finally let myself look at him. I found myself staring at his familiar profile. An ache settled in my heart and it followed me as I went under.<\/p>\n
