It&#8217;s time for the WeWriWa blog hop, in which writers post 8-10 sentences from one of their books. I&#8217;ve shared some snippets from my paranormal romance Fangs and Fists: Grit. The snippets have focused on the secondary character Haylen, a demon who had once been a faith healer. This week&#8217;s snippet is from Fangs and Fists: Haylen, in which Haylen is the antihero and becomes romantically involved with the witch Maddy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Haylen\u2019s nightmares were intense &#8212; even for a demon. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He heard howls and gunfire. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He smelled magic and blood. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>He sensed death all around. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maybe he wasn\u2019t dreaming at all. The throbbing pain from nape to tailbone felt real enough. Lying on his side in an unfamiliar bed, he gazed at his surroundings through half-open eyes. He was inside a small caravan &#8212; or RV, as the modern version was called. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>His last memory before blacking out was a painful descent down metal stairs in the warehouse where he\u2019d endured a gruesome surgery. Only the physical and magical support of the young witch Madeline had enabled him to reach the bottom of the stairs and crawl into the RV parked below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7912\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/KH_FangsFists4Haylen-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/KH_FangsFists4Haylen-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/KH_FangsFists4Haylen.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/>About Fangs and Fists: Haylen<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #1f1f1f; cursor: text; font-family: 'Lucida Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 14.86px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\">(Erotic Paranormal Romance)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>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.
