Look! Show and Tell!

Blog Sister, Tracey Livesay tagged me for a fun game and explained it this way:

"My friend, Debra Kristi, recently posted a blog about a new meme making the rounds.  It’s called “Look” and the rules state that I do a search for the word in my current work-in-progress and paste the surrounding paragraphs. Afterwards, I tag others and the game is afoot."

I love a good game, so here's my section from my current Work-In-Process - "Aces Down":


He shook his head, though he dropped the cuffs into my hand. "You'd better hurry up with those. Hawkins won't stay down long."

"Really?" I muttered as I maneuvered one pair over Hawkins' feet and up around his ankles. I yanked them tight and then rolled Hawkins onto his stomach. He was heavy as a damned log. After I secured his hands behind his back, I pushed myself to my feet, stepped over him, and leaned over to look at Tristan's wound. As far as I could tell, the bleeding had slowed. Thank the stars for shapeshifter healing.

"How're you doing?" I asked, looking at him to make sure he was in full control of his wolf. We needed to get him inside, but I didn't think he could do it without a little help. Help that would put me way inside the wolf's personal space.


Thanks, Tracey for tagging me and I'm gonna tag the following talented bloggers/writers/poets: Shawna Christos, Joanna Lee, Erica Orloff, Meg Medina, Gigi Amateau, Shann Palmer. Check them out!

Tracey & I also blog with a group of Virginia writers of romantic fiction. the Wise Wenches. You can find the link to our blog here.

    1. Hey there, Shawna! Can't wait to see what you post. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I'm having way too much fun with my contemporary paranormals. Wait, there's no such thing as too much fun, is there? Guess I'm just finding myself playing there more than expected. As for your snippet, I'll be waiting...

  4. Thanks, Nara! I'm almost done, working on continuity and stuff. BTW, Collector's Item, coming soon at The Wild Rose Press is a shifter story as well. Check my Books tab for a bit more info.

    1. Hi Leah! Aces Down is in the same world, but doesn't actually "touch" the Collector's Item storyline. Aces Down is still trying to decide what it wants to be when "it grows up" a novella or a novel. LOL!
