Welcome to week 124th
week of My
Sexy Saturday. This
week’s theme is One Sexy Girl. Obviously this theme is about a sexy heroine and
all my books have sexy heroines. But this week I’m going to give you a rare
treat from a work-in-progress. I don’t share too many of those and it’s not
because I don’t want to, no, I love sharing. But most of the time it’s just not
the right moment to share something new. However, this one is going to my agent
and cross your fingers, something great will happen with it.
This week has been tough on
the world as we lost David Bowie and Alan Rickman to cancer. They are both
deeply embedded in my life with Ziggy Stardust, Labyrinth, Die Hard and Harry
Potter. No one will ever take their place.
Because I am
on deadline with this current book, I forgot all about Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called
Writing Life last week. This week I’m
already ahead of the game as they are scheduled and ready to go. Hopefully, you’ll
drop in to see what I have to say. Don’t forget about the $25 Amazon Gift
Certificate that is still up for grabs. I will give it out on Sunday, January
31, 2016. So comment often for a chance that at wonderful gift.
This week’s story
is HeartSword: Chronicles
of the Prophecy. It’s
the 1st book in the series and one that sets up the quest to free
two gods and lovers from the Lifesteel they are imprisoned in. There are four
books in the series and each book is about a couple, who are Chosen to keep
evil at bay and free the lovers from their prison. Here’s the setup:
Erin Kesara must come
to grips with her fate as holder of the legendary HeartSwords before she can
begin to confront the Prophecy. Recently widowed, she is stunned to find her
lifemate has been with her for years as her BloodSworn Protector, Malick Pendragon.
Together they must forge an unbreakable bond not only with themselves but with
the swords before evil devours the world in which they live. With the help of
six others and the HeartSwords themselves, they begin a quest driven by the
Prophecy as the events unfold before them.
Here’s my seven paragraphs from HeartSword:
Chronicles of the Prophecy:
Erin stopped dead in the street, pulling Malick around to face
her. He acted like he had won her in a card game, or worse, from one of the
many caravans of nomads which roamed the wastelands of Moran. “Will you stop
acting like I am the prize in some grand game?”
“Do you think this has been easy for me? I have known for many
annua who you were...who I was.” Obsidian eyes looked deep into azure
ones. “Do you know what it has been like to see you with Edwain, knowing what
you two...,” he choked off the words.
No, she had not known...had never thought about it. No, that was
not exactly true. She thought about it ... at least once that she could
remember. Her mind drifted back to the time when she first saw Malick, bruised
and battered from the abuse of his captors. She had been younger and as haughty
as a banty cockra. First, she challenged his captors, then she challenged him
for the right to the rest of his life. Why had he given in so easily? She
always assumed that it was because of the havoc she caused among the blooded
warriors and the fact that Malick had a raging fever. She downed five of his
captors before they acceded all rights of the man to her.
“What made you accept my challenge?”
“My god, woman!” he exploded. “Have you ever really looked at
yourself? With anything other than the critical eye of a warrior?” He watched
her shake her head. “Erin, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
And if we do not get to Orazio soon, I swear by the god in this sword, I will
take you here.”
His hand wound fiercely in her hair, pulling her face to his.
The kiss was anything but gentle, his lips anything but soft. Savagely he
kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth with superb mastery.
Erin, understanding years of pent up frustration were being
released, tried to pull back. But then the kiss took on a more subtle flair.
Like I stated previous, I am
currently under deadline for this book. Once completed or rather edited since
it was finished long ago, she will begin shopping it around and we’ve got high
hopes for it.
