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

“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.

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.”

I have *ZERO* uses of "helper" so I went with "assistant"

Very mildly NSFW joke? If you squint.

#Sniptober #SnipShare #VeilOfStarlight

The next time Lu ran into Sorrel was surprisingly in the city library, funded by the Queen for research and open to the public with special permission. Lu had been recently granted total access, after proving he wouldn't burn any books by simply touching them. Before then he'd had to request books by title or subject and hope the librarian's assistant at that time would find what he wanted. And he had to read them within sight of the front desk while also wearing elbow-length leather gloves which made it nearly impossible to turn the pages.
Now that he was old enough to show 'proper discipline' over his magic, he could actually roam freely. Like he was incapable of controlling his own flames.
Alright, he sometimes wasn't, but that had only happened with a book once.
Maybe twice…
They were his own books at any rate.
And he doubted the royal library had any smutty half-copper paperbacks anyway.

Going with vibes and 'help' here lol

Snippet from a book I don't share nearly enough, Untamed (Feral Bonds Book 1). This is when Zaire saves Lathan after a brutal loss in a shifter/human fighting ring.

www.im-no-angel.com/untamed.html

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“ “Why did you help me?”
Zaire smiled, serving up the eggs and bacon with toast and bringing the plates to the kitchen table. “You needed me.”
Lathan’s brow furrowed. He folded his muscular arms over his broad chest, leaning against the doorframe. “There’s got to be more.”
“Does there?”
“Yes. People don’t just help strangers.”
Considering where Zaire had found Lathan, and how desperate his situation had become, he couldn’t really blame the young man for being skeptical.
Besides, Zaire hadn’t helped a stranger. He’d helped a man his beast recognized belonged to them. Not that he could tell Lathan yet. The unblooded were too human to immediately sense a bond. They needed to be coaxed a little more carefully to accept their mates.
So he told Lathan just enough of the truth to answer his question without making him bolt. “I was hired to deal with one of the men involved in running the fighting ring. Come, sit with me and I’ll tell you more.”

Gravel being very painful in this snippet, where Boone fought attacking seelie and was taken out...by the road and some trees.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Edric hit the brakes. Threw the door open and jumped out of the jeep, immediately spotting the unseelie on the side of the dirt road. Running to him and catching him before he collapsed, he took in the damage.
The rich brown of Boone’s skin was caked with mud and blood, gravel embedded in scratched up parts of his cheek. Under his hand the fabric of Boone’s suit was ripped open, his skin slick and gritty.
“Come sit down and let me take a look at you.” Edric helped Boone to the passenger seat of the jeep, then grabbed the medkit from the back. “Tell me what happened.”
“Fucking seelie. They ambushed me. I was holding my own—you know I can take those bastards.” Boone gritted his teeth as Edric made him lean forward, exposing skin torn to the bone on his back and shoulder. “Rainer was coming out of the woods to back me up. Prince Helios stepped out behind him and I knew…I fucking knew he’d kill him. When I brought up a shield to protect him… Damn it, I don’t even know what they hit me with. I took out a few trees before[…]”

#Sniptober day 6

This one's from Polished (New Rules Trilogy Book One) and it's Luther and Alec discussing how to 'elicit' a certain reaction from Xavier.

A tough job, but someone's gotta do it! 😂😉🔥

#SnipShare

“It would be up to me to seduce him.
Luther was watching me, a sly smile on his lips. “Him wanting to be distracted would be very good. But it won’t be easy to get him there.”
“Which is why you’re going to teach me how.” I licked a crumb off my thumb, grinning around it as Luther’s gaze dropped to my mouth. “You must be good at it.”
“I like to think so.” He inhaled slowly. “But he keeps me too busy to tempt him as often as I’d like.”
I sucked on my finger. “Is that why you found him a new toy?”
Shaking his head, Luther laughed. “You’re cheeky when you’re well fed. I like that. Now finish eating and stop teasing me. Unless you want the one thing I ask of you is to bend over my knee?”
My lips part. I gulped. “You’d do that?”
“I will, eventually.” He lifted his shoulders. “Pass me the syrup, please?”

Going with Backlash (Winter's Wrath Book 1) for this, with a synonym since I went through several books and didn't find delux anywhere! lol

A high end model on a tour bus is truly experiencing 5⭐ luxury 😂

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

“Danica’s shoulders lifted slightly. “I guess. She gave him the third degree about the tour, but it wasn’t too bad. He made it clear I would be fine. Actually, he made the bus sound better than a hotel.”
“He did?”
“Clean sheets? Meals on-the-go? This is going to be awesome!” The twinkle in her green eyes told him she was teasing. He let out a sigh of relief and she laughed. “I don’t expect a luxurious ride, but he did tell us enough that Sophie isn’t worried and I’m pretty sure I can tough it out. I’ve never seen the inside of a tour bus, so who knows? But my grandfather had a mobile home for the first few years after he got his property, so I grew up in small spaces. He built a nice little house now, so I’ve been spoiled for a bit, but I’m used to finding my own space when I need it.”

I 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 like working on my dream sequences.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

Glasset looked different than I remembered. Deep brambles and thorns along the path wove a tapestry of regret.

I need move. I don’t belong here…

The cloudless sky thundered at me for a sin I could not remember. My body felt strong yet hollow, an entire ocean filled with only a single drop.

One foot in front of the other is all I need.

Tears from the forest, as course as sand, failed to echo through the quiet trees, their blacked bark stifling the air. The path was painful, but I accepted the burden with unfeeling grace.

"I opened my journal, and began to write." Is a line that is repeated as the ending to many chapters throughout the story.

#WritingCommunity #SnipShare

But somehow, I slowly managed to open my eyes, and push myself back up. For the first time since the tragedy in Vizthara, I felt compelled to record what had happened.

I rummaged through my bag and pulled out my journal. It’s roughly textured cover reminding me of home, when Lusana had first handed it to me. Things were so simple back then.

In a land of darkness and shadows, I sat alone on the small bed in the safehouse.

I opened my journal, and began to write.
