#SixSunday — My Fair Lady with fangs!

Vampyren, "The Vampire", by Edvard Munch

Welcome to “Six Sentence Sunday”. Thank you for visiting and especially for any comments you might feel inclined to offer.

This six comes from my urban fantasy novel, My Fair Vampire, currently in editing mode. This scene is pulled from late in the book after Dori has weathered many harrowing experiences under her sire’s tutelage. She is speaking with him, after he shows up unexpectedly to take her to a Council meeting.

Dori speaks first:

“Why are you just now telling me? Why such short notice if this is legit?”

“Have you always been this suspicious?”

Arms crossed, I couldn’t keep the scorn out of my voice.  “Yes.  But I’ve especially honed it over the past few months.”

Ha! I think she’s finally grown a pair!

Be sure to check out the host site, Six Sentence Sunday, for links to more tantalizing snippets from some very talented writers.

Lucky 7 Meme Day!

ImageIt’s “Lucky 7 Meme” time for me today! I’ve just been tagged by the uber fun and talented Sandra Bunino. If you’ve never been to her website / blog, be sure to pay her a visit, especially on Mondays or Sundays when she often posts her “All Things Girl” column or Six Sentences from her works.

.

What exactly is The Lucky 7 MEME?  Here’s how it works:

▪                Go to p. 77 of current WIP

▪                go to line 7

▪                copy down next 7 lines/sentences & post them as they’re written

▪                Tag 7 other authors

▪                Let them know

Alrighty then. What’s my latest WIP? Hmm… I’m taking that to truly mean in process vs. nearly released, out on submission, etc.

OK, from My Fair Vampire, Dori is, yet again, receiving instruction from her grouchy vampire sire, Donovan, who speaks first.

“Midnight has large bathrooms.  Get some cowboy to whisk you in there for a quickie–yours not his.”  He smirked.  “But stay away from the doormen.”

“Maybe if you could teach me a little bit of the hypnosis I’d–”

“Damn! You’re like a broken record.”

So…now to tag seven other authors, hopefully ones who haven’t been tagged already. I did check most of these to make sure they’re Lucky virgins.  (Aw come on, you know what I meant!)
