Meddling verse once again; back to Roach POV!
Johnny boy suddenly seems to be showing an interest in the omegas Mam brought home

snips happen in this order, but aren't consecutive like the previous

Iona bristles further when the young girl wanders over to Roach's side. "Whit happent te yer face?" she asks, green eyes big and curious. Before any of the adults can say anything, Roach writes his reply, showing it to her with a grin. {Fought a dragon.} The next several minutes are spent with Aurora ("Ye can caw me Rory, aw ma friends do!") sitting beside him as he relays the tale. Roach used to baulk when anyone - especially children - asked about his scarring, because it's not like he could tell them the truth. The dragon story is something Ghost had helped him come up with during the first few weeks at the Omega House. It's changed over time, becoming more and more ridiculous as they embellished it. Having to use his little whiteboard is painfully slow, and he wishes Ghost were here to interpret instead. Then again, with the way Iona keeps eyeing Roach, maybe it's for the best that he's not. /end alt text. a snippet from ellipsus, off-white text on a deep red-brown background While Neil fetches a plate for him, John glances between his mother and Roach, "Where's the other one?" "Ghost wisna feelin up fer meetin awbudy jist yet," Lorna replies neutrally. John's nose wrinkles, "Whit kind of name is Ghost?" With a small snicker, Roach unintentionally draws attention to himself, the alpha's brow arching, "And ye, whit's yer name then?" So much for not having to use his board during supper. Neil returns, setting John's serving in front of him, as Roach finishes writing. He turns the board for John to see, {I'm called Roach.} The suspicious way John eyes him makes Roach want to squirm, but he simply sets his whiteboard aside and resumes eating. Thankfully, the alpha says nothing, turning instead to his own meal. The rest of supper passes without incident - mostly. Blair does throw some peas at one point, but that's normal for toddlers, really. Made the dogs pretty happy at least. /end alt text a snippet from ellipsus, off-white text on a deep red-brown background {What do you want to know?} The alpha considers him for a moment, "How old are ye?" Reasonable enough. {Almost 30.} "An yer friend? How old's he?" Narrowing his eyes, Roach keeps his reply short, {Older than me.} If this guy is hoping he'll spill some secrets, he's dead wrong - especially when it comes to Ghost. "Peculiar bloke," John remarks, "What's his deal with the-" he motions to the lower half of his face, "He fight a dragon, too?" {Ask him.} Gritting his teeth, Roach waits for him to get a hint. "Much rather talk to ye," the man smirks, "Ye seem better at conversation, an much prettier, too." The flirtation makes Roach freeze, discomfort and unease roiling in his stomach. /end alt text

This week's #snippetsaturday is a visual on how I envisaged the woods to look when I wrote Whisper Of The Wolf.

Not sure who the Wolf pictured would be - Alaric or Radley?

Whisper Of The Wolf is out now - > books2read.com/u/mqx7XO

#SnippetSaturday “determination”

I step in a shallow puddle, splashing water past the top of my boots. Cool moisture wicks up the exposed denim, and I glare down the manicured street as the determination I felt this morning slowly wanes.
(from Sidetracked Part 1)
Choosing the decrepit mansion in the middle of the woods over the address on his license means I can only take the bus so far. No matter how close it can get me to the turn-off, I'll still have to walk down that long gravel road. There's no guarantee I'll even find him there, but my gut tells me it's right, so... I step in a shallow puddle, splashing water past the top of my boots. Cool moisture wicks up the exposed denim, and I glare down the manicured street as the determination I felt this morning slowly wanes. James had better be there when I show up.

Screenshot of Word document; text reads: "He meandered his way to the center of the fair, knowing what he’d find there. The wife market boasted a range of women, some experienced and eager to find a household in need of them, others desperate to leave their homes and start a new life. He gazed at the lines of women, waiting to feel some spark, some recognition. But his magic felt nothing, so he passed them by until he came to a smaller block. These women were bound together, some weeping, some pale, some hard-faced. He felt his magic ignite, a small flame beating in his heart. "

“It’s not the same,” Lelia ventured. “But I sing with my violin all the time.” Ronan did smile at that. “Yeah,” he mused. “I’ll be able to do that when I have the Fiddle.”

Space background featuring the milky way as seen from earth. Text reads: At the top of the stairs, they were greeted by an exhibit on astronomy and celestial bodies. However, Em could already see the entrance to the exhibit for Music Around the World at the end of the hall. She felt pulled to it. “You don’t want the spiel on astronomy?” Lelia asked. And it was then Em realized she’d started walking past the entrance.

I've decided #snippetsaturday is a thing regardless of whether it is or not.

This one comes with art!

#snippet #art #author #amwriting #amdrawing #writingcommunity
And he was kissing me. He was kissing me like he did three years ago. And I was kissing him back. In the back of my mind, I knew I was with AJ, I knew I would hate myself, but right now? Right now, I wanted to stay in Brent’s arms. He broke the kiss “I’m sorry, Maddy. I should've… We shouldn’t.” “I know…” I looked into his eyes and swallowed. “But I want to.” “I want to, too,” he breathed. He brushed my hair out of my face and started kissing me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in close. He walked me to the wall, into the dark and our hands were all over each other. Neither of us really thinking about what we were doing, just doing it. We were breathing heavily, his mouth was on my ear, my hands were in his hair, up his shirt, on his cheek. “Maddy…” he breathed, “we should stop…” “We should…” I whispered back. But we didn’t. A short girl Maddy shares a sweet kiss with taller guy Brent.

For #snippetsaturday I give you suspicion… from my pending debut fantasy book, Beyond the Humming Downs.

It’s so fun to present these fragments out of context. That said, this is a fairly pivotal moment. 😆

On a background of grass and a moody sky, the words: “May I come inside?” She nudged Tohanuh aside, stood back in wordless invitation, and Roh crossed the threshold. Dishevelled and travel-worn, he looked out of place in her family kitchen. […] “Adehl?” Tohanuh’s grip on the club had not eased. He was taller than Roh by about half a head, broader too. He eyed Roh with dark suspicion. She laid a hand on Tohanuh’s arm. “It’s all right… I think. This is Roh. He’s a friend.” At least she hoped so. From Tohanuh’s narrowed eyes and the way he hefted the club, she gathered he drew his own conclusions. Beyond the Humming Downs Ellen Starsmore

#FantasyIndiesAugust Day 2: #SaturdaySnippet #SnippetSaturday

I'm Cassie, writer and narrator of spicy stories. "By Any Other Name" is a novella partially inspired by Ancient Rome.

Screenshot of a Word document; text reads: Rose followed meekly past the enormous open-air pool the Parides was famous for, full of lukewarm water this time of year. Vatia passed the smaller hot pool and headed for the private rooms, and it was then that Rose resisted. “Vatia, please!” she protested, pulling back. “I can’t serve men privately. My master would –” She stopped and swallowed, her heart already beating hard at the thought. But her superior shook her head and laid a placating hand on Rose’s shoulder. “I’ve known him since he came of age. He’s never once asked to be serviced and he always refuses when offered. The private room was my idea. He’s travel-weary and needing a good wash, and you have better hands than any of my own girls.” Rose wavered, biting her lip nervously, and the older woman sighed. “He won’t touch you. And if he does, just say you need to fetch some tool or other and leave. He won’t make a fuss.” Rose nodded reluctantly, following Vatia to the room furthest down the long hall. The older woman squeezed her hand and smiled encouragingly before heading off. She took a deep breath. “May I come in, sir?” she asked, in the way she’d learned to make her voice carry while not being too loud.

Is #snippetsaturday a thing? It's good alliteration, so if it isn't, it is now for me!

I'm hard at work editing Errant Wings, so I thought why not share the opening lines? I think it's a promising start... Asher, however, may disagree.

[ #booksky | #writing | #writingcommunity ]
a snippet graphic for Errant Wings. A black and white illustrated image of Asher, the main character, is at the lower right corner with his right arm extended with a spray-paint can. He has white wings coming from his back. He looks pleased. What he is spray painting is a black swathe of paint with text on it in a more brush-stroke like font. The text reads: "Dawn's light pushed across the hilltop and shined through Asher’s window as a brushstroke of brilliant gold, except that wasn’t what jolted him awake. It was the sudden, excruciating pain." At the bottom near a yellow spray-painted star, is more text that tells the release date and where to find it. It reads: "releasing April 22nd https://linktr.ee/errantwings"

Here’s some “drama” for today’s #snippetsaturday — this time, I’ve found a section using the word, more or less, since the whole book has drama. That’s kind of the point of fiction, right?

on a background of grass and sky: drama Adehl had never seen the firehead trees in bloom. There were several in the grounds of the Vuusah compound, upthrust boughs decorated with scarlet blossoms, long leaves the colour of flame. It was a dramatic display, made somewhat macabre by the blood-red shadows cast over Cloud’s pale flanks as they passed beneath. Beyond the Humming Downs Ellen Starsmore

Anyways, here's some writing of my dumbasses being gross and in love.

“Did you mean it last night? When you said you wanted to date me?” I felt him tense against me. “Y-yeah… I really like you, Stephan… But it’s ok if you’ve changed your mind.” I turned in his arms so I was facing him. I took the cigarette out of his mouth and kissed him. “Mi piaci un casino. I like you, a lot. I haven’t changed my mind, the fact you didn’t fuck off in the middle of the night, and you’re standing on my balcony holding me like we’ve been together for months just makes me all the more sure.” He grinned his goofy grin, his dimple flexing. “Hey boyfriend,” I said softly. He laughed, it was a sweet chuckle, it made my heart skip. “Hey boyfriend,” he replied. I put my hands in his back pockets and kissed him slowly. He had his fingers in my hair, and he
