"I wince at the searing path it trails down my throat, but when the alcohol forces the knots in my neck to loosen, the restless thing inside me finally stops hammering against my mental walls."

"Edgar Quarles is an insufferable and selfish old man."

This is the first line from handsome and mysterious Duke Lugo in my dual POV Gothic horror novel, HOUSE OF HUNGER.

I'm an unlucky girl trapped in Grandfather's cliffhouse,
caretaker of his magic box with 3 human hearts I must feed blood.
They die? I die.
Handsome Duke Lugo offers a blood bargain, but he's hungry to expose the secrets of Casa del Demonio...and me.

After being sick for two weeks I'm excited to revisit my YA romantasy WIP inspired by the elite riding academy and enemies to lovers in Fourth Wing and the vicious water horses in The Scorpio Races.

Since I hate snakes, I had to include them in my horror story. Write what you know. Write what you fear. Right?

Here's my excerpt. I'd love to read yours if you're up for sharing something!

What would you call an adult romantasy inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and Casablanca, set in dystopian Puerto Rico, containing vampires, pirates, a blood war, and a love triangle?
Last night I heard & liked "Blood in the Water" but I'd love ideas! #amwriting #romantasy #writingcommunity

Friday snippet from the WIP I want to finish ASAP because:
1) it rec'd a #QuestPit like from an agent who loved my horror partial.
2) another agent (who loves my horror!) wants to see it the second it's finished.
I'm a fast writer if I'm feeling the fire, and this story is hot!

I have a thing for word imagery, and my favorites involve water and things unraveling.

If you have a snippet from your novel or WIP, please share it! I love reading them!
