A sixty-eight #8sunday #ya #metaphysical #romance #humor #paranormal #wewriwa

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I keep forgetting to sign up. Whoops! Anyway, thought I would give you a snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance that came out the end of last year. Here, Kaylee is introduced to, well...Heath's pride and joy. If she can only figure out why.

~ ~ ~

"Shall we go?"
Nodding, I walked out, closing the door behind me and followed him down our drive to an old black car with a really loud muffler. "What is it?" I asked Vane.

"A sixty-eight. Heath built it from the ground up. It’s his baby." Vane opened up the passenger door and pulled the front seat forward for me, obviously assuming I would know what a sixty-eight was. I climbed into the back of the rumbling car, feeling a bit trapped, and yet not about to admit I had no idea.

We'll take it from here #8sunday #wewriwa #dystopian #paranormal #ya

Hello, WeWriWa followers! How are you doing this week?

I'm giving another snippet from Camp One this week. In this scene, Dolce, Courtland, and Mieran are meeting the three most powerful prisoners in the camp they are now a part of.

~~~

“We’ll take it from here,” the redhead said to the guards behind them. The strength in his voice and his bearing were obvious but it was still surprising when the guards backed off and left them alone. Turning his deep blue eyes on them, he gave them a sad smile. “Welcome to hell. My name is Iain. To my left is Devon.” Devon was even larger than Iain was. While the same height, his shoulders were wide, his muscles numerous and when you added in his shoulder length shaggy black hair, deep gray eyes and constant hand twitching, Dolce was sure he was someone to keep an eye on. 

~~~

The Changelings: Camp One

Picture the United States, circa 20-teens.
Only it's not the United States we know. Or is it? 

Every year, teenagers from the ages of 14-16 get tested for a classified, illegal hormone nobody knows anything about, except for the military. Tested as positive for XJ-99Q, Dolce, Courtland, and their friend Mieran are removed from society and thrown into a camp in the middle of the desert. With electrified fencing and face-to-face duels to the death, they don't imagine it could be worse. Until they find out what the hormone actually does; turns them into something else entirely. Faced with annihilation, Dolce and Courtland join up with the three strongest males in camp. While Mieran joins with their enemy. 

When the camp is destroyed, five of them escape, tasting freedom. But when they relax their guard, the military finds them. Captured, escaped, and captured again, no matter which way they move, the military is two steps ahead of them. 

Against all odds, they find a family of humans they trust and wish to stay with. Only, this time, they may have not just doomed themselves, but every human in their vicinity to the fate of Camp One.

The darkness in Elnye is growing.
There is screaming in Exhile.

The mysterious woman, known only as “She”, is in a rage. Her pawn, Maleina has made a dangerous move and severed her communications with the dark mistress. Now as dueling dark forces, master and willing initiate, they begin to jockey for power as the stage is set for the coming war. 

Kaeleigh and her small band of loyal companions have escaped the dungeons of Elnye and found their way to the secret home of the Ehsmia. After breaking the vicious bond that enslaved Daegan to Maleina’s will, the walls between Kaeleigh and her Ferrishyn warrior begin to fall, as their feelings for each other begin to give way to passion.

A dying realm. 
The ancient evil of the Droch-Shúil has been unleashed. 
The Orchids have been silenced… but for how long? 

Daegan, elite of the Ferrishyn warrior tribe of Faeries, is charged with a mission to find the Sol-lumieth, a mysterious new power that could change the fate of all in the realm of Alandria. But he is conflicted by his purpose, and he cannot trust the motives of those he serves. He has too many questions and they must be answered. 

Kaeleigh, a girl abandoned as a small child just outside Missoula, Montana, is now 18. She is trying to discover who she is and where she belongs. In her heart, she feels she has family out there… somewhere. Desperate to unravel the mysteries of her past, she embarks on a journey that will forever change her along with her two best friends, Finn and Chel—who have secrets of their own.

Shadows linger where light is obstructed, and truth is veiled. 
Evil is an untreated disease in the once beautiful realm of Alandria. 

Kaeleigh is faced with a revelation that she must reconcile. She will decide if discovering the truth is worth the unknown consequences to both herself and her friends. 

Daegan, the Ferrishyn warrior, is conflicted by more than his loyalties, and is confronted with emotions he doesn’t know how to deal with. A choice must be made. A choice… that may cost him more than he ever wanted to give. 

The Droch-Shúil—enforcers and servants of the ancient darkness—continue to cast their shadow over Alandria seeking those who can be turned to their side. 

The magic of The Orchids is growing, but not everyone will survive what is to come. 

Veiled Shadows is the second installment in The Age of Alandria series: the story of the Sol-lumieth’s quest for freedom of self and the power to battle the evil of the Droch-Shúil.

Similar but not #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Kaylee's all ready for her afternoon with Heath. Or so she thinks.

~ ~ ~

Walking up to the door, I took a couple deep breaths before opening it, wanting to have a definite glare on my face. That faltered as I took in a face that looked similar to Heath's and yet wasn't. It had the same pale skin and soft pink lips, but instead of blonde hair, his was bright red and instead of dark gray eyes, his were blue. "I'm confused," I said, staring into the bright blue eyes in front of me.

Adding to my confusion the face smiled, a really nice non-smirky smile. "You must be Kaylee. I'm Vane. Heath's twin. Shall we go?"

Eureka! #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. (Just 18 days!) This snippet is a few paragraphs after last week's post.

~ ~ ~

My closet was now a total mess, but after three hours, I finally settled on the perfect outfit to wear around the jerk known as Heath. Who names their child Heath anyway? Was his mother eating a candy bar when he was born and thought, I can't think of anything else, might as well name him the first word I see, and then she looked down and saw the wrapper. Eureka! Good thing she wasn’t eating a bag of Zours. Or Skittles. Or… a Big Hunk. Giggling at the possibilities, I blanked out for a little while as I imagined all of the candy derivatives he could have been called. 

~ ~ ~

I forgot to sign up for last week, though I did do a post, when Kaylee met Heath for the first time.

Hollywood moment #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. Yay! You've gotten to know Kaylee's sense of humor. How about a jump ahead to her first impression of Heath?

~ ~ ~

My eyes fastened on Heath and the world stopped for a moment. Have you ever had one of those times when you meet someone and it's like a Hollywood moment? This was one of those moments, only not in a good way. Heath scared the living daylights out of me. Tall with pasty white skin and blonde hair the color of his mother's, he had pale pink lips that were formed in a smirk. But it was his eyes that bothered me. Dark gray, they were so dark they were practically black. Obviously I’d read far too many vampire and werewolf books because I briefly considered the possibility I could transport me and mom somewhere safe before he decided to attack.

Not quite what I was going for #8sunday #ya #metaphysics #romance #fantasy

Hello Weekend Writing Warriors :)

I have another snippet from Tryad, my young adult metaphysical romance which will be out on December 30th. This takes off directly from my last 8Sunday post.

~ ~ ~

Wait. Where was I?

Oh, right. Princess blanket. Ugh.

Bringing to mind a purple satin blanket with a golden dragon, I focused my mind – well, I tried – and five minutes later when I opened my eyes, I groaned as I spotted a pink and purple blanket with a princess being ripped apart by a dragon. Not quite what I was going for. But then, transporting myself here to there was much easier than actually doing something to an object.
