Hello! It’s time for the WeWriWa blog hop. Every week, writers post 8-10 sentences from one of their stories. Last week in my snippet from Fangs and Fists: Haylen, Maddy was helping Haylen recover from the surgery that removed the tracking device implanted by his demon masters. This week continues that scene.
“Just… come on.” She moved closer to assist him, but he held her at arm’s length.
“I can walk,” he said.
He didn’t miss the slightly hurt look in her big blue eyes, but she nodded and turned away to gather her tools.
Haylen climbed back into the RV and sat painfully at a small table near a window framed with rainbow-striped curtains. The aroma of herbs and spices from the small wooden rack in the kitchen mingled with the tang of gasoline and oil from the recently repaired engine. Wind chimes with the words “blessed be” hung over the dining table. Haylen’s stomach clenched and he scowled. Few things were more nauseating than happy witch decor.
About Fangs and Fists: Haylen
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Faith healer turned resurrection demon, Haylen served the masters for centuries, creating legions of the soulless. By bargaining with the rebels fighting the demon masters, Haylen was freed from a tracking device viciously implanted in his spine and reinforced with evil magic. Now armed with both his demonic powers and his former angelic gift of healing, he can choose his part in a world where good and evil are constantly at war.
Maddy, a young mechanic with magical powers, has studied Haylen’s history and finds the demon fascinating, but she’s even more intrigued by the man he can become. Haylen appears to return her interest, but will the good witch save the demon’s soul, or will he corrupt hers?

Wouldn’t he be surprised if that happy witch decor ends up helping him.
“Happy witch decor…” What an evocative phrase. It simply begs you to stretch your imagination.
The term “Happy witch decor” is priceless! It sets the scene so well as otherworldly, and just made me laugh. So like a man to disparage a woman’s decorating scheme! Great snippet!
