Hello and welcome to the WeWriWa blog hop, in which writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories. I’ve been neck deep in working on a new series, so it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’m finally caught up, which is a great feeling!
This snippet is from my new release, Snake Charmer (Confessions 1).
“What are you staring at?” a dark-haired demon sneers in my direction, his black eyes glittering.
I don’t speak, but stride toward them, hands flexing at my sides. My inner wolf awakens. Time for my nightly workout.
“Hey, ugly, are you deaf? Mute? Maybe you’ve lost your tongue?” taunts the blond.
Ugly? I nearly laugh at that bullshit insult, but I’m not about to break my silence because it can be more intimidating than the loudest words.
The three pull daggers — common weapons for their kind.
About Snake Charmer
(M/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Skye: I’m a lone wolf, but I’ve left the forest to fight against demons who’ve taken over the world. Right now I’m with a pack in Baltimore, but their alpha respects my ways. I take assignments from him, but I live alone and fight alone — until the night I’m attacked by a swarm of bat demons and a hot little snake dancer jumps in to back me up. For me, it’s lust at first sight, but it’s more than that. I think this adorable little tough guy is my mate, even though he’s not a wolf.
Erik: I’m called Snake Charmer. Dancer. Contortionist. Spirit twin to an alien serpent who has always been my protector. My life has been a series of horrors with some beautiful experiences tossed in. I’ve learned to be independent, especially after my best friend and I were brutalized in an attack that left her dead. Now I’m out for revenge, and it’s brought me to Maryland, directly into the path of a gorgeous werewolf who makes me feel things I never dreamed of. It can’t last, though, and nothing, not even desire this deep, will come between me and my vendetta.
Warning: While set in a futuristic paranormal reality, Snake Charmer includes references to previous child abuse, rape, and murder that may be triggers to some readers.

Somehow, I feel they’ll regret threatening him.
So true about silence being intimidating. Nice view into his thoughts. 🙂
Congrats on the release. Best wishes for a successful launch. 🙂
This interaction with the demons really drew me in. I’d like to know more about the snake dancer.
Cool character in all respects, liked the snippet!
This is intriguing, can’t wait to see what happens. Also the character bios at the end are very interesting.
I suspect that the three demons will get what’s coming to them.
