It's Book Quote Weds & today's word is COLOUR. In Cursed Under London, urban European dragons are often the colour of bricks. They're also often quite small, especially in Deep London, so there's something amiss here. #BookQW Buying links: farragobooks.com/book/cursed-...
A quote from Cursed Under London. Quote reads: There was a downwards whoosh of air and the great, razor-clawed talons of an immense dragon gripped the rooftops. The huge dragon, the size and colour of a townhouse, bent her neck down towards them. Her head loomed over them in the alley – almost as wide as the alleyway itself, brick-brown, with fiery eyes and great, wet fangs, shining with spit. ‘There you are,’ growled the dragon. ‘I’ve been looking for you.’ ‘Argh,’ screamed Randall and Herbert. ‘Argh,’ screamed Lazare, not to be outdone.

Anyway, happy 1st November
The 'they don't know I'm...' party meme. The people at the party are labeled 'Blueskyers chatting Halloween & Poppy Discourse'. The loner at the party (coded as myself) is thinking 'They don't know I'm waiting til it's JUST close enough to Christmas to start recommending Klaus & Tokyo Godfathers again'

It's Book Quote Wednesday & the word is MISS, so here from Cursed Under London Is Lazare on missing French food, Fang on narrowly missing drunk-kissing Lazare & Miss Amber the little dragon coming in for breakfast (they smoked her a kipper). #BookQW Buying link: farragobooks.com/book/cursed-...
Quote from Cursed Under London. Quote reads: ‘Are you not Buddhist, then…?’ ‘I’m not anything, really,’ Fang admitted, still trying to de-fuzz his memory of the walk home. ‘Technically Confucian, but that was before…’ he trailed off, hit by a horrible memory. Oh no. Ohhhh no, he’d tried to kiss Lazare. ‘Well then there’s nothing to stop you enjoying a kipper,’ replied Lazare merrily, putting a pan and a kettle on the stove. ‘I miss many things about Parisian dining, but the English really excel in breakfasts. I can brew us some coffee too, really treat ourselves.’ Fang groaned again and hid back in his blanket nest. Everything hurt. He tried to concentrate just on the pain from his stitched-up wound, but even that reminded him of how he’d got far too close to that ridiculous Frenchman, far too fast. And worse still, Lazare had turned him down and now he was going to go around acting all gallant, and… urgh. There was a leathery flapping noise, followed by the sound of clawed feet landing on the ledge of an open window. ‘Ooh, are you cooking fish?’ asked Amber. ‘I saved you the heads,’ Lazare told her. ‘Cor, thanks.’

The 'you wouldn't steal a car' meme format. Text reads 'you wouldn't torment a grieving student of forgotten lore from atop a bust of pallas'. The owner of the meme generator asks that I include a link to the website: https://youwouldntsteala.website/editor.html

It's Book Quote Wednesday! Today's word is SELF, which is quite a broad concept, so here's Fang pondering the differences between how the curse affects his own self and how it has affected Lazare. #BookQW buying links: farragobooks.com/book/cursed-... Or see you at #MCMLondon Writers Block!
Quote from Cursed Under London. Quote reads: Fang wasn’t the first to be cursed. And the curse had given Lazare wings. He kept them self-consciously folded over his shoulders like a soft brown leather cape, but Fang could see that they had to be huge – at least as big as a full-grown vampire’s wings. How come Lazare got those incredible wings and he got a weird little gross spell that only half worked? No. Focus, Fang. That wasn’t the issue. The issue was that he now had another cursed person to add to the research, and every bit of new data from him torched all the hypotheses he and Nell had pursued so far. Also, this French guy was far too cheery for comfort. Grinning and twittering away. You have a curse on you, Monsieur, act like it!
