Laugh, little monkeys!  Yes, today the theme is humor, and we picked the opening scene of our upcoming ghost story re-release Some Like it Haunted.  Poor Sara…most of the jokes are on her in the first part of the story, but at least she gets some of her own back later on.  Read more  Read More →

Today’s theme is SETTING! And I fully admit I signed up for this one as a challenge to myself but no little trepidation, because if there’s one thing Donna and I are always pushing ourselves with, it’s our habit of sparse description. I finally settled on a bit from Last Hope, where... Read more

Well, I had hoped to have my technical difficulties straightened out by this morning, but I’m still battling the evil hardware monster with my computer’s guts spread everywhere, so it may not be meant to be! But while I wait for Donna’s help, skip right on to one of the other Snippet... Read more

We’re back to the dark side today!  The theme is a shining moment for the bad guy…and I am going to interpret that as when they are 5 seconds from victory.  Because, you know, that’s pretty shining.  An Excerpt from Crux * * * He nodded toward the dresser. “The amulet?” “Yeah,... Read more

Today’s theme: book openings!  Since we recently finalized the manuscript for Sanctuary’s Price I figured this would be a good chance to post a little bit of it.  It has the bonus of being a little bit of Dylan, and I am biased like a biased thing: I love Dylan. Read An Excerpt From Sanctuary’s... Read more

Today’s theme: Living it Up! What sounds more like living it up than Last Call, the bar people go to in order to live it up?  Today I’m using the first 650 words of Kamikaze but I should warn you–they get dirty. Fast. * * * Read more  Read More →

Snippet Saturday has come again! And today’s theme is pretty awesome…the first meeting with the bad guy! This meeting kinda goes to show that the bad guys in Southern Arcana aren’t always easy to pick out.  The world these poor characters live in is a veritable smorgasbord of grey... Read more

Donna and I have a fair bit of food in our books.  We both enjoy cooking and baking.  A lot.  Left to our own devices the two of us might actually embrace some sort of back-to-the-earth thing where we grow and cook and make everything from scratch…as long as we had high speed internet. So food... Read more

Woohoo! Snippet Saturday is here, and this week the topic is seduction!  Or rather, the topic is failing to seduce.  I think there are a lot of ways to have a failed seduction, but I admit, one of my favorites is self-denial.  And it has to be denial because it’s not nearly so fun if the one... Read more

Snippet Saturday’s running late today because I’ve had a small mishap with having no power. So today I’m posting from someone else’s wireless from a yard sale, which is an adventure in and of itself. (Also, I’m under a tent and it’s raining.) Having gotten that out... Read more
