In this week’s excerpt from Dominique, I’m skipping ahead a bit. A stranger has come to Dominique and asked him to paint a miniature for her, and in exchange instead of money or blood, she offers him something useful.
Dominique is scheduled for release on November 1st. A limited number of ARCS are currently available at Booksprout.
Halloween is almost here. Are you ready? I thought I’d be more ready. It’s coming fast!
Excerpt from Dominique
“Please come in Señora.”
Dominique painted her miniature, and afterward, she spread a deck of black and gold cards on the polished wooden table in his parlor and offered him advice.
“You’ve been alone here for a long time,” she told him. “Longer than most people can ever imagine, but you’re growing restless with your solitude.”
Dominique could smell liars or frauds. His kind generally could, but this woman believed in her card readings, and she was correct. Dominique longed for companionship, but only the right kind. He would rather be alone than with someone who didn’t stir his passion and touch his heart. Finding both was difficult, no matter how long one lived.
“An opportunity has presented itself—relentlessly,” Señora continued.
