#Sniptober day 16!

Going with 'basic' as the synonym, with a short snippet from Damon's recovery in Violent Angel. He can be very dedicated, but getting back in shape after a serious injury is hard!

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Serious workouts in prison kept Damon from going insane, and he’d kept up the habit once he got out to fill his days between job hunts, so he was in damn good shape. Or had been, anyway. But two weeks after getting shot and basic stretching, along with a short walk, got him dripping with sweat and sliding to the floor. Ready to stay there. Maybe forever. It’s a very nice floor.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Violent Angel.” Apple Books.

#Sniptober day 15!

This one was tricky, so I'm going with vibes and sharing the story before the story from Violent Angel. Elliot's origins are an important part of how he becomes a skillful merc. It also shows why he struggles to form attachments.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Hot metal bars dug into Elliot’s little hands, but he wouldn’t let go. Hauling in stuffy air stinking of rust and garbage, he swung his weight—along with the one hanging on his leg—to reach the next bar. Then the one after. Almost to the warped wood platform… If I can do this, I can do anything! Elliot would prove he was strong enough to be a hero, just like in his favorite stories. Suddenly, the weight disappeared. A hero doesn’t let his men fall. Twisting while still holding on with one hand, he glanced down to where Lux had been clinging to his leg, but the toddler was gone. If he’d hit the sand, he’d still be there, trying really really hard not to cry like he always did. There weren’t even any marks from where he’d fallen. Confused, Elliot dropped down, crouching in the shadows of the jungle gym to scan the park full of skinny kids and bored adults. In Elliot’s old red T-shirt and jeans, his curly hair almost white, Lux should stand out unless he’d been trampled already. All the other orphans ran around like uncaged zoo animals—spotting his tiny friend under the stampede would be almost impossible. But…there, a big man with a sunburned, shaved head who didn’t belong. The bow of his massive shoulders, the way he strode directly through the park, was off. And even with his worn leather jacket billowing around him to hide it, he obviously carried something.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Violent Angel.” Apple Books.

#Sniptober day 14!

Going with vibes for this one, in No Escape, one of the more lighthearted scenes where everyone gets to have fun. It's the first time Lyric's ever celebrated his birthday, which makes it special 💕

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Dragged into the tent, Axton laughed as Lyric stopped short, looking like he had no clue where to go first. There was an actual freaking ferris wheel in here, and a decent-sized roller coaster. A merry-go-round took center stage, several bouncy castles and slides positioned around it, and what looked like a funhouse set up in front of the doors to the bar. There were even a few games, Cody and Hershey already at the water gun one, spraying everyone who passed and laughing like loons. All the draftees were rushing around, shouting to each other about where they wanted to go first. The scent of popcorn and cotton candy, corn dogs and some kind of cinnamon treat filled the air with an aroma of all the best memories from childhood. Memories Lyric didn’t have. Which probably explained why he kept spinning around until it made Axton dizzy to watch. His little pixie was overwhelmed with all the options.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “NO ESCAPE.” Apple Books.

#Sniptober day 13!

Coming in late for this one, but mostly because I got caught up re-reading No Shame for the umpteenth time lol

Really proud of this book. And I love the friendship that builds between Vero and Solomon. Solomon is adorably creepy 😂🥰🤗

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Vero got their stuff and glitched out with Solomon to the local library. The blueprints had been simple enough to find online, and he chose a storage room where they wouldn’t be seen popping in out of nowhere. This early, the place was empty, and the librarian didn’t even look up when they slipped out of the short hallway. Focused on the books he scanned, the balding man bopped his head to whatever was playing on his earbuds. Trendy, multi-color-rimmed glasses perched low on his nose, a few silver stud earrings winking in the light along one big ear, his fitted plaid shirt pastel pink and blue instead of the darker colors most of the other men around here preferred. He seemed pretty chill. Which was Perfect. After warning the nightmare to let him do the talking, Vero approached the desk. The librarian lifted his gaze and smiled at him, taking out the earbuds. “Good morning, young man. My name's Henry…and I don’t think I’ve seen you around here before. Are you visiting family?” “Vero. And no, we’re actually here as part of a school thing. Or that’s the excuse I gave my parents for needing to come up here.” Vero lowered his voice, like he was sharing a secret, and the librarian leaned in, nodding with understanding. “I do have to get my project done while I’m here, though, or my dad will cut me off.” “We wouldn’t want that.” The librarian glanced over the counter at Solomon, his brow furrowing slightly when the nightmare sat on the floor with one of the books from the cart. He took off his glasses, cleaning them with the hem of his shirt. “We have a nice comfy reading nook, why don’t I show you where that is while you tell me how I can help?” “That’d be great.” Vero reached down, hooking his hand to Solomon’s arm to tug him to his feet. “We—” Two sets of blood red eyes blinked at him, matching those of the monster on the book cover.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “No Shame.” Apple Books.

#sniptober for "pastel". This one comes from Under Compliance, my scifi novel currently out on query! The word pastel didn't show up in the text, but I think this is more than close enough.

#snipshare #writingcommunity

"Two Handlers stood in the open hatch, wreathed in pressure equalization fog. Their tidy, pale blue uniforms were surprisingly bright to my mine-adjusted vision. The ramp extended from the hatch, forming a steep angle to meet with the landing bay deck. The crowd was murmuring softly, a susurrus of whispers passing like wind through tall grass. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next."

I love being able to snip from this chapter. it's my absolute fav! 🥰 There's a lot going on here and this is the middle of that, but i loved putting them through it
#Sniptober #WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Hey, am I an offering? Have you decided that I should just become an offering to the gods? Am I such a burden?” Loke’s eyes barely opened but he could see they weren’t focused on him at all. “You're delirious from the fever. You're not an offering. And you're troublesome, but you're not a burden. And Votan's stupid to think you're strange.” Magnar blurted the last part unexpectedly. He’d still been mulling over her question from the day before and he often got caught on her analysis of how Votan perceived her. “That's nice. But why have you laid me here like an offering?” Her words were slow and quiet, but Magnar was relieved to hear them. They sounded much closer to her true self than before. “I'll take you down from there. But let me find a good spot-“ Loke cut him off and lazily reached a hand out to him. “No, join me. We can both be offerings for a better world.” It was clear she still hadn't completely returned to her senses despite how she sounded.

#Sniptober day 12!

Rip and Otto from Street Smarts, after they shared their first kiss...while Otto's at work lol

So it's a very 'to be continued...' type of situation.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Rip leaned against the car, willing his pulse to slow and his legs to start working again. “Sure. I can stay.” “Good.” Otto kissed Rip softly, not looking any more ready to move than he was. “Coffee?” “Coffee.” Rip pressed his eyes shut as Otto moved away. How messed up was it that he was less concerned with being seen than with how physically painful it was to have to stop. He’d never been in this position before. His body had never been quite so demanding. He looked up at Otto’s soft curse. Otto shot him a sheepish smile. “Sorry, I’m just wondering why fate is fucking with us.” “Fate?” Rip laughed, not sure if Otto was about to use a line on him. “Not sure what fate has to do with this.” “Probably nothing, but guys like you are usually out of my league.” Otto shrugged as if he hadn’t made the most ridiculous statement of the century. “Maybe some higher power wants me to behave myself. Be easier if you weren’t so fucking tempting.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Street Smarts.” Apple Books.

#Sniptober day 11!

Scene from Inversion (Winter's Wrath Book 3), using 'soothing' as a synonym for 'mellow'.

Balthazar is one of my favourite characters in this series, getting in his head almost always made me feel more relaxed and grounded. 💕

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Connor dressed quickly, wishing he had time for a run before he had to face both bands. He still wasn’t sure how the men he’d known for years would react to learning about his…issues. Now he had to pretend to be normal in front of virtual strangers. His hands shook as he pulled on his shirt. He tangled his hand in the long sleeve, cursing when he shoved and the fabric ripped under the arm. “Slow down, Connor.” Balthazar came over, stopping him from yanking the shirt off, unbuttoning the buttons he’d left done up when he’d tried to pull it on. “This is one of your concert shirts.” “Which I just fucking ruined.” Connor threw the shirt on the bed and glared at it. “I brought five nice shirts. Now I have four. Fucking awesome.” “We’ll buy you another one tomorrow when we’re in Rome.” Balthazar’s soothing tone made breathing a little easier. He didn’t make Connor feel stupid for freaking out over a shirt. “This is a casual meeting between the bands to discuss the collaboration. Why not wear something comfortable?” “All my T-shirts are worn out and have holes in them.” “All my T-shirts are worn out and have holes in them.” But he had three-hundred dollar jeans. He groaned, raking his fingers though his hair. “I don’t want to look like a slob.” “Would you like to borrow one of my shirts?” “What if I ruin it?” “I doubt you will, sitting there having a conversation, but I’m not that attached to my clothes.” Balthazar hooked his arm around Connor’s neck and kissed his forehead. “Stay here. I’ll get a shirt from the bus. Do you want me to grab you some coffee while I’m upstairs?” “Please.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Inversion.” Apple Books.

Lanta, the town I didn't name until I wrote 7 more books and was forced to 😅 (the one benefit to writing for a decade before going back to edit and release!)

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare #Sniptober

“We should probably press forward. There are a lot of small villages along the main roads we can stop to rest in along the way. We don’t have any nocturnal birds that are out to destroy anyone, so it should be relatively uneventful.” Uneventful was something Loke suspected all of them would be looking forward to. “I haven’t been to Lanta since I was a child, but there is a lot of open area and the beaches were actually lovely if I am remembering properly.” She had a lot of mixed emotions about returning to Lanta for the first time in nearly two decades. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to continue to repress her grief longer or if the visit would trigger something deeper. For now, Loke decided pushing forward was the only thing she could do, regardless of her own emotions.

#Sniptober day 10

This one's from Backlash (Winter's Wrath Book 1)

Only mention of 'lovely' is sarcastic lol But it is lovely how Danica and Alder can talk about anything, including the hi-jinks of Alder's band mates 😂

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“You want to head over to the warehouse early? Is that where we’re meeting again?” Alder cocked his head, his brow lifted. “Yeah, we’re meeting there, but I figured you wouldn’t be in a hurry to be around our lovely Madame Croissant.” Croissant? Danica snorted. “That’s Madame Courchesne. Not sure how you got ‘Croissant’ out of that.” His lips tipped into a sheepish smile. “I may have stopped listening to her when she started being a bitch to you. I heard Tate call her that a few times, so I thought that was her name. Might be that he’s not a fan of our choreographer either.” “Probably not. Did you hear her lecture him about how he should be sitting straighter behind the drums? If it wouldn’t have screwed with the sound, he’d probably have laid his head right on the snare.” Alder laughed. “There’s still time. I wouldn’t put it past him to mess with her today.” “After we almost got all the moves perfect yesterday? No way.” Danica hopped to her feet, popping one last blackberry in her mouth before heading to the bedroom to get dressed. “I bet he’ll be on his best behavior.” Joining her in the bedroom, Alder tugged on a fresh shirt, then gave her a challenging smile. “What are you willing to wager?” She touched her tongue to her bottom lip and smirked at him. “I think I might enjoy having you as a slave for the day.” “I think you get whatever you want from me either way, so winning won’t mean much.” His words were sweet, but there was a cockiness to his tone that had her arching a brow at him Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Backlash.” Apple Books.
@woldry.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 12:29 PM

“You’re quick, Peg. This is not, as the movies say, my first rodeo.” Jacqueline sipped her coffee and smiled over the rim of the cup. “Lovely. The coffee.”

The praise, the smile, the dark eyes, brought heat again to Peg’s cheeks.

#Sniptober day 9!

This is from Upper Class, right before Ward meets Miguel and they get testy with one another lol

Wonderful first impressions and all 😉

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Hey buddy, did you get lost?” He noticed the collar on the dog’s neck and his brow shot up. Louis Vuitton? Damn. Who spent that kind of money on a dog collar for a puppy who’d grow out of it within months? Probably someone who’d be missing him now. And has their servants out looking. His lips thinned as he shoved away the bitter thoughts. He didn’t have the best impression of rich people lately, but that didn’t matter. The puppy had a license with his name and address. No need to have anyone wondering around in the rain. Rich or not, his owner would be relieved to have him home safe. “Doesn’t look like you got too far on your little adventure, Boots.” Ward smoothed the puppy’s damp black and white fur away from his eyes as Boots gave him a sleepy look. He needed to be dried up, but he was trembling less and looked about ready for a nap. “Not a lot of houses around here. Let’s see which one’s yours.” Excerpt From: Bianca Sommerland. “Upper Class.” Apple Books.
