Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound

This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.

Time to choose between truth and lies.

Usually the easy answer was to lie, but I couldn’t think of a single fib that would convince Davis to translate the glyphs. So I did the unexpected. I told the truth. “I need your help to get this unattached from my skin.” I yanked down the neck of my tank top and flashed him.

Curious? Here's the blurb:
All Toni wanted was to steal the artifacts, get paid and then spend some time relaxing on a beach somewhere. She wasn't planning on being bound to the spirit of a dragon, or becoming part of the prophecy predicting the end of the world...

Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound

This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.

I slid my fingers around the edges (of the pendant) in the hope I could pull it free, and all I found was a perfect oval seal, holding it tight.

But there had been no glue. Surely I would have felt it before, and I hadn’t. All I’d felt was the cool amethyst and the texture of the dragon. That must have been what inspired the strange dream.

What else besides glue could bind the thing to my skin?

My mind whispered one word. Magic.

Curious? Here's the blurb:

Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound

This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.

Be the wall. Be the stone. Be invisible. I chanted the mantra silently as the temple guards strolled past. Frank, a heavyset older man, was no more than three feet away, yet he wouldn’t see me. I called it blending, but whatever the skill was or however I came to have it, the ability to become nearly invisible had saved my ass hundreds of times.

Curious? Here's the blurb:

Six Sentence Sunday: Walking with Synn

This Sunday my six are from Anom'tan 1: Walking with Synn

With one hand, she carefully drew back the blankets to reveal thick, tangled, brown hair. When he didn’t object to being uncovered, she pulled the blanket back further.

His face...he was so pale. The man’s white skin glistened. It was almost bluish, with pale smudges of tan. He looked fragile and ill, but behind that terrifying exterior was a stark beauty so breathtaking she thought for a moment he must be an angel.

Curious? Here's the blurb:
Sometimes mortal souls must be guided when the sun is high. A special class of Tascryn demons called Anom'tan, (soul walkers) are paired to offer the strength walking under the sun requires. When Sayvor and his brother are attacked, both their lives will depend on his ability to remember the ones who stole his brother. But without his brother, Sayvor’s strength is failing and his only hope is within the arms of a willing lover to help him recover the memories his team needs to save them both. Dr. Sasha Washington never expected therapy to be this much pleasure.

Six Sentence Sunday

Dee Carney (word warrior awesome) suggested I check out Six Sentence Sunday  and so I did and found a nifty little blogging inspiration.  This idea is to offer up six sentences from a story. How cool is that? Enought o get a taste without being so much as to slow anyone down. Love it!

So here's my 6, taken from A Lover's Touch.

I blinked my eyes open, meeting the bright blue eyes of a stranger whose face was only inches from my own. “How?” I asked in wonder. How was he holding me without messing with my magic vibes? I let my fingers brush lightly over the back of his hand and gasped as the deep ever-present hum changed to a purr of pleasure.

“Shh…” The purr quieted at his command.

Well that was fun, wasn't it? Go check out the 6 other authors have to offer and come back here next Sunday to see what else is happening.
