<\/a><\/center>Good morning! It’s Sunday and time for the Weekend Writing Warriors blog hop! In it authors share 8-10 sentences from their work.<\/p>\nThis week’s excerpt is from Shauna’s Silver Swordsmith (Silver Hearts 3). This story is now available for wide distribution. Until March 02, 2025, it will be specially priced at $0.99 at several retailers, including Apple Books<\/a>, kobo<\/a>, and Smashwords<\/a>.<\/p>\n Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n Taking my face in his hands, he stares at me with such intensity I think I might burn up right there. “It won’t be just one night, Shauna. If we do this, I’ll want more.”<\/p>\n My breathing quickens. Oh, how I hope he’ll want more.<\/p>\n He closes his eyes tightly for a moment and shakes his head. “You’re young. You’re\u2014”<\/p>\n And a bit more:<\/strong><\/p>\n “Old enough to know what I want. From the moment I saw you I wanted you. The question is, what are you afraid of? Commitment? I\u2019m not the clingy type, and I’m not a vampire, so you don’t have to worry about having me around forever.”<\/p>\n The emotion that glistens in his eyes shocks me. “Don’t say that, Shauna.”<\/p>\n “It’s true. Even vampires aren’t really immortal, right?”<\/p>\n “Then you don’t want more?”<\/p>\n “I know what I want now, in this moment. What about you? Do you want it, Daniel? Do you want to make love to me? Do you want my blood?”<\/p>\n Daniel \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Reared by the master swordsmith who taught me his craft, I\u2019ve dedicated my life to forging steel. I never thought about the occult, until a foreign man with unimaginable power stops at my home and forge. He takes me to Japan where I study under an ancient swordsmith. Nothing and no one, especially a woman, can tear me away from my craft, or so I think. While visiting New York City in 1927, I meet Shauna, and everything changes.<\/p>\n Shauna \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Working the streets with only my abusive pimp Jack to look out for me is no way to live, but I don\u2019t have much choice. When a rich weirdo takes me to a ritzy hotel and offers me a way out, I\u2019m not sure what to do. Then he shows up at Jack\u2019s juice joint with tall, gorgeous Daniel whose mixed messages make my head spin. Can a vampire swordsmith fall in love with a former pro skirt, or is all his heat only in the forge?<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Shauna\u2019s Silver Swordsmith is a short vampire romance with a stubborn hero, a resilient heroine, historical settings, some spice, violence, and a HEA.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Shaunas-Silver-Swordsmith200x300.jpg\")
