Sunday Snippet - A Hell Hound's Fire - A Little Movie Magic


Welcome to the Weekend Writing Warriors! Thank you so much for visiting. If you choose to comment, I really appreciate it. Most of these snippets are unedited, works in progress, and while my snippets aren't consecutive, they are in order within the story. You can read last week's snippet HERE.

Today, I'm offering another snippet from my paranormal romance AVAILABLE NOW entitled A Hell Hound's Fire. Best part? It's free! :D Ahem, definitely not excited in the least. ;) In this snippet, Sarah and Alex just finished their kiss (broken up by the pot boiling over). Sarah's trying to regroup. This is in Sarah's POV.

True Mate. Her Sister self seemed so certain.

She wanted to scoff, but she didn’t want Alex to think she didn’t believe him. “It’s all right. I’m sure it’s just the ‘poor me’ attitude I was giving you. Isn’t there a line in Under the Tuscan Sun where the bloke says she has to stop crying or he’d be forced to make love to her? I’m sure it’s just something like that.”

Did she just suggest he’d been thinking of making love to her? Can you be any more forward with a man trying to help you? Chewed bones. She felt her face flush and ran a hand over her hair.

Alex chuckled and shifted his hips as if his jeans had become too tight.
 
At least she knows what she wants, lol. ;) There are several great authors on the Weekend Writing Warrior list and a few of my favorites are Sarah Ballance, Charmaine Gordon, Goran Zidar, Karla Doyle, and A.S. Fenichel.
If you're interested in A Hell Hound's fire, here is the cover and blurb:

Love can be found in the most unlikely places, even the heart of a Hell Hound.

Alex MacLaren figures he'll never find love again after his mate dies. As one of the rare Hell Hound werewolves, his chances are slim to none. And slim went home. When the local Morukai shaman calls on him to protect a lovely Irish werewolf and her young son from demons, he can't help but take the job.

Sarah Flanagan is desperate to save her son Liam from the deadly monster trailing them, but she's out of options and places to hide. She lost her mate the last time she encountered a demon, and with Liam depending on her, the stakes are far higher this time. After meeting Alex, she's not sure about the Hell Hound, but she’s no fool. He’s their best hope for survival... and hers for another chance at love.


You can also find this on Amazon, but it's not free. If you'd like to help me get them to price match, please go to the Amazon page and click on the like "tell us about a lower price." Just put in the Smashwords URL and hopefully they will get the hint soon.
Thank you all for stopping by and happy reading! :)

  3. You are such a trooper to visit me the past few weeks even when I haven't been able to make the rounds. I'm downloading your book right now and will submit the link to Amazon. I hope you get to the top of the lists. :)

    I'm a little confused what "chewed bones" means. Is it a reference to an earlier part?

  16. Intriguing. Love the "chewed bones" remark. Obviously fits werewolves. Great bit.

  18. Ha, I love how her inner monologue is freaking out! Great snippet, Siobhan!

  19. "I’m sure it’s just something like that"
    Like that line.
    Could be misinterpreted as a throw away remark, but then, in a book, there's seldom room for such frivolity.
    Will be interesting to see how it comes back into play.
    Well done!

  23. My mouth gets me in trouble like that sometimes too, so this really makes me identify with her. Love his jeans dilemma. Great snippet!

  24. Your details are always wonderful, and this is no different with him shifting his stance. Those are the things that pull me in and you always have 'em.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Haha! Wonderful, Siobhan. Your writing flows so smoothly. I really liked this: "Can you be any more forward with a man trying to help you? Chewed bones." Nice!

  26. Very good and I like how you worked in the book reference into the story, in the OOPS! I said to much off the top of the head thing. Very realistic.
