Things have been a little crazy for me lately. A lot of family health issues going on, which is why I haven’t been posting much.
Today is the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog Hop. In it, writers share 8-10 sentences from their work.
This snippet is from The Lighthouse, a story included in All Their Midnights, my newly released collection of vampire short stories with a romantic flavor.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“Where’s Collin?” She glanced around in a panic.
They searched the water. Collin surfaced momentarily, his limbs flailing in desperation before he disappeared beneath the violent waves.
“No!” Kenna tore off her cloak. “He’s always been a terrible swimmer.”
“So are you!” Drew grasped her arms hard before she could dive in.
That’s my 9 sentences, but here’s a bit more, if you like:
“He’ll die!” She snarled, sinking her claws into Drew’s hands. “Let me go!”
“No!”
“If he dies, Drew, I’ll never forgive you! Never!”
Drew clenched his teeth. “If you feel that way, I’ll get him!”
“Then do it!”
Drew dived back into the sea.

All Their Midnights is a collection of vampire poetry and short stories with a romantic twist.
The Lighthouse – Imprisoned in a dungeon and forced to do battle for a cruel lord, Drew lost his sanity long ago. Kenna’s passion for Drew never faltered, even when it drove her from the only other person she’d ever loved, her twin brother, Collin. Kenna and Drew escaped the horror of their past to live a quiet life as lighthouse keepers. Their hard-won happiness is threatened when Collin arrives, stirring past memories that hurl him and Drew toward possible destruction.
Blood and Whiskey – Despite his thirst for blood, Danel has never wanted to cause permanent harm to his prey. He’s spent his life learning to control his violent nature. Then he meets Yori. She rouses his bloodlust, but will he curb her wild ways, or will she lure him into a life of savagery?
Don’t Drink the Blood – Rene is a young vampire scraping by while fighting for her life in a world that has shown her little mercy. While on the hunt, she’s attacked, but a strange, beautiful man rescues her. Oliver suffers from a disease that affects vampires. Only Rene’s blood can save him from a slow, painful death. They make a deal—her blood in exchange for his tutoring. Can he transform an uneducated, struggling cynic into a sophisticated vampire warrior? Even more, can he win her hardened heart?

Well, I’m glad one of them could swim! I was having fits as they argued while Collin was obviously drowning. I hope she’s in time to save him! Great snippet!
Somebody go rescue the guy, please! Really a terrific snippet, very intense.
Thank you, Veronica!
LOL! I know, they’d better get moving. 🙂
