Teaser from Daughter of the Dark

Time for another teaser from Daughter of the Dark. (Yes, I am going to post these until the book is out.) “It doesn’t matter, what is done is done, and cannot be changed. We can just change what happens next.” -From Daughter of the Dark, coming fall 2016.

Cut Scene: Searching for the Vampires ( Part 3)

Time stretched-. My shoulders started to cramp, and I wished my abductors had untied me before they left. When I heard the sound of voices, I was sure they weren’t going to my cell. Because no kidnapper would take a guest to see a prisoner. They would if they plan to sell me. The thought hovered in my brain, taunting me. I shook it off. “ This better be good,” Tony growled. Gwynfar be praised, I’ll get out of this…

Cut Scene: Searching for the Vampires (Part 2)

The rats scuttled deeper into the shadows as I walked by. Around me, the alley were dark. Almost as dark as my mood. I had scoured the docks for days, in search for a vampire. Finally one patron had told me to go to the Broken Rose, at the end of Varne Alley. Varne Alley is long, one of the longer alleys. In a slightly more respectable part of the town, it would have been called Varne Street,and been paved….

This is part of the 1800 words I had to cut yesterday. It is non-spoilery, though,  so I have decided to post it here in chunks. I *might* rewrite it into a short story about how Jenny and Tony met some time in the future.   Tension coiled inside of me when I stepped out. I expected to step into a hallway filled with angry agents, demanding my arrest. To my surprise the hallway was empty. My hand crept down…

Teaser: Daughter of the Dark

This is another teaser from a deleted scene that didn’t quite fit the story. It is non-spoilery so I felt it was a good teaser.   And  if you have missed my previous teasers, I’ve posted a link to them on my brand new extras page. The haggling stopped when I walked past. They glanced at me, a mix of curiosity and fear in their eyes. I felt uneasy. How can the Daughters stand it, living excluded, never really part of…

Teaser: Daughter of the Dark

This teaser is much further into the book, but it is being cut, since the vampire is far away, and she doesn’t have that good nose :). I took a deep breath, and froze. Hidden beneath the smell of freshly baked bread, were the metallic scent of vampire.“ By the Moon. Why are vampire males so stubborn?” I hissed under my breath. I had no doubt that the vampire was Rocha, had decided to follow me. Despite being told that…

Teaser: Daughter of the Dark

I am busy editing Daughter of the Dark, but here is a tiny teaser from the Second Chapter. Even if it isn’t perfect, the draft will be much better when I’m finished.  Which should be, since the last time I revised it was 2009, I have improved a lot as a writer since then. And then, I’ll start looking for an editor in earnest. I’ll probably post the revised first chapter in January. Or maybe on Christmas eve. 🙂 The…

Another teaser from Daughter of the Dark

Another teaser from Daughter of the Dark

I spent yesterday creating a cover for Daughter of the Dark. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Simple, yet it doesn’t scream home made to me. Best of all? All the elements in the stockphoto I found is tied to the plot. So here comes a tiny snippet from Daughter of the Dark:   I knew that the wool was expensive. Very expensive. The money I would get if I sold a bolt of that wool was…
