Dancing with a Ghost...The Witch's Kiss #8Sunday

Every Sunday the Weekend Writing Warriors post an 8-sentence excerpt from a published work or a work-in-progress for the enjoyment of readers.

This week's excerpt comes from my newest novel, The Witch's Kiss.

A twinkle of merriment lit her blue eyes as she said, “It’s been an age since anyone asked me to dance. And I do so love a waltz.”

“Of course, my dear,” Sage spoke through smiling teeth, his lips barely moving. “I can’t imagine why anyone might care to call Bedlam when they see me waltzing with thin air.”

Marianne sighed dramatically. “I’m not simply air. I’m a ghost.”

“And invisible to all but me.”

Paranormal Regency Romance

Blurb:

Marianne Grey is a ghost. But, she's not dead. Cursed by a necromancer, Marianne searches for the elusive spell needed to merge her spirit with her physical body. She's not alone in her search. Her neighbor and best friend, Sage Merriweather, has vowed to help her break the curse.

Sage suffers from his own demons. Literally. After surviving a horrific attack, a demon has bonded with him, mutating Sage's magic so he can only conjure fire. Until he can break the bond, he is a danger to everyone near him, including those he loves.

From the glittering ballrooms of London to eerily dark graveyards, Marianne and Sage battle forces of evil destined to claim their souls for eternity. Though their newfound love for each other may be the toughest battle of all.

Fighting the Change...The Witch and the Wolf #8Sunday

Here we are! The first Sunday of the year! What better way to begin a new year with some excerpts for readers to enjoy? I've joined again with the Weekend Writing Warriors to offer an 8-sentence excerpt. Please be sure to check out the other blogs participating in this Sunday event. Also check out #8Sunday on Twitter to find more great excerpts!

 

This excerpt is taken from The Witch and the Wolf. It's the night of a full moon and Lord North has some unexpected guests during a time when he's at his most vulnerable. He's fighting the change that's about to turn him from human into werewolf...

He forced his gaze to the wall and heard Lord Prescott speaking but for the life of him, he could not understand the words. A loud buzz had erupted in his ears. He wondered if perhaps he should release the wolf here and now. It became obvious Lillian had no desire to marry this man, and it appeared clear enough she was being forced into this marriage. If he could help her by destroying these men, by ripping the limbs from their bodies, by chewing on their soft, wrinkled flesh, their sweet blood dripping from his salivating mouth.

“My lord, perhaps you should tell them.” Amery’s voice broke through the buzzing.

“What?” North asked, dumbfounded.

“Tell them the truth,” Amery insisted, his eyes darting back to the men who stood behind him.
