Today’s #snippetsaturday is brought to you by a smidge of #southerngothic in #vitapersequens that may or may not be inspired by my own homestead…minus the manor house. Too many stairs to climb and windows to clean. Very pretty though. #fantasyindiemarch #paranormal #booksky💙📚

For today’s #snippetSaturday, I give you the first pages of each of my books. The first is #MorsObliviscens, which is published. Snippet two is #VitaPersequens, currently in progress. Third is a novella, #Interim, which explores the POVs of other characters. Which is your favorite #booksky💙📚?

Since I missed #snippetsaturday yesterday, I think I’ll combine it with my #favoritetrope in #vitapersequens which is The Calm Before the Storm. The protagonists are gathering supplies and decide to be a bit silly together. But moments like this tend not to last 😈 #fantasyindiefebruary #booksky💙📚

snippet from Ellipsus, white text on a gradient rainbow background

Unimpressed with his commentary, the dog simply huffed. He was reeling back to throw when something caught Whisky's attention and she let out an excited whinge.

Following her line of sight, Soap laughed, "No wonder yer so excited, been ages since ye've seen another pup, hmm?" A group of three had just entered the park, a young Golden Retriever bouncing along beside them. When Whisky whinged again, the puppy noticed her, nearly pulling the girl holding the leash off her feet. 

"Honey! We've talked about this," the girl, a small blonde teen, scolded the pup,  "Just because you want to be friends with every dog doesn't mean every dog wants to be friends with you!"

Looking down at his own dog, Soap nodded, "She has a point." He was pointedly ignored.

Another voice called out, "Ello! Is your dog alright with others?" Turning, Soap grinned at the boy. (Also blond, likely the same age as the girl.)

"Thank you!" The girl smiled, finally allowing the puppy to come closer. There was a moment of silence, everyone watching the dogs as they inspected one-another. "Oh! My name is Beth, and this is Honey, she's just turned six months."

"She's pure bonnie," Soap smiled, "I'm John, an' tha's Whisky. She's aboot a year and a half, I think." It was amusing to see her interact with Honey, laying down and nipping playfully at the younger pup's paws.

"I'm Tom. Tom Riley." the boy piped up, holding out a hand for Soap to shake. Polite lad. "The giant there's my brother, Simon." Right, there was a third - though he was hanging back, watching the younger two from a short distance. Sunglasses hid his eyes, but with short sleeves, Soap had no doubt.

Simon Riley.

HW Verse once again for #snippetsaturday :3

that weird moment when you meet your alley hookup from two weeks ago at a park while he's chaperoning some tweens

Screenshot of text:
Az’s eyes hazily take in the room’s darkened decor, the cluttered desk before him, the kitchen and seating area, the riot of plants arranged to either side of the front doorway. His gaze cuts to the back right of the room, staring intently at the unassuming doorway down to the basement. 
The first part of their ruse had been the date, then Az following Madison home. The home with the concealed entrance to it's basement.
Azri'a's heart pounds in anticipation, the taste of Madison's mouth forgotten as he pushes himself off the door and, as if divinely compelled, towards Hancock, who waited him below.
Rhalgr destroys, so he may forge you anew
-and what perfect destruction Hancock would deliver.

Post image Screenshot of Word document: “Don’t touch me!” she said. “I don’t need to,” he replied. “But you will need to stay still.” They stared at each other for a few heartbeats before she looked away, and he smiled to himself. This was only the first battle of many. He approached her slowly, reaching out a hand until his fingertips neared her throat. She whimpered at how close he was but remained still. Tarnos focused on his magic, weaving basic spells for binding and protection. Once finished, he sent the spellwork out to wrap around her neck, and the dark green tendrils encircled her gently. “All done,” he said lightly, pulling his hand away. She frowned and felt at her neck, her fingers passing through the immaterial collar. “You won’t feel it unless you try to run,” he explained. “Then it’ll tighten about you until you pass out.” Her lip trembled and her eyes went glassy, and he sighed. “It’s only temporary. You won’t need it once we reach home.”

Post image A burly guard led him to a smaller tent where the girl was sitting on a stool, her meager belongings in a pack at her feet. Her hands were bound and tethered to the tent-pole, her eyes red-rimmed as though she’d been crying. “This is your husband now,” the man said gruffly, pointing to Tarnos. She shook her head, eyes wide. “No, he can’t be!” “You’re lucky you found a proper husband instead of being sold to a brothel, a delicate elfling like you,” the guard retorted. “At least you only have to serve one man now, eh?” “But he’s not a man!” she wailed. “He’s a – a – a monster!” Tarnos worked to keep the smile off his face. This was better than he’d hoped.

Post image Screenshot of Word document; text reads: "It was spring again, and his purse was heavy at his waist. He walked the wife market deliberately, without expectation. The auctioneers all knew him by now, knew he liked to be left alone to inspect their wares. So they didn’t try to chat him up as he eyed each face, one by one, in search of something he’d never yet felt. He knew in his bones he’d recognize her though, this woman of his dreams and desires. And he did. His gaze alighted on a scrawny face with eyes as wide and dark as a deer’s. Her dark blonde hair was streaked with gold, her lips were full and sad. He stopped before her and they trembled, then hardened into a frown. She jutted out her chin and glared at him as if to say I’m not the one you’re looking for. "

The wife market boasted a range of women, some experienced and eager to find a household in need of them, others desperate to leave their homes and start a new life. He gazed at the lines of women, waiting to feel some spark, some recognition. But his magic felt nothing, so he passed them by until he came to a smaller block. These women were bound together, some weeping, some pale, some hard-faced. He felt his magic ignite, a small flame beating in his heart. "

Post image Screenshot of Word document; text reads: But she was determined to help him somehow. The idea came to her after he turned down an invitation to the Parides – he hadn’t been to the bathhouse for a while, she realized. Normally he went every few days, asking her each time if she wished to send a message to Vatia. Surely he must be feeling uncomfortable by now, when this time of year many Enerians patronized the baths near daily. Of course he washed his face every morning, and she made sure to clean his hands after meals. But wouldn’t he be itching to rinse off his body, or even just to wipe it down as she and the servants did?  A day passed before she voiced her suggestion. He was mulling over his lunchtime fare, eyes distant, and she summoned the courage to speak. “Master,” she said softly. “Hmm?” he replied, still staring down at the food. “I don’t mean to overstep, master… but it’s been some time since you last visited the bathhouse.” “So it has,” he murmured. “If you don’t wish to go out, master… then perhaps… I could help you bathe instead?” He looked down at her pensively, and she lowered her gaze, trying not to fidget. She breathed slowly, willing herself to be patient, until he finally nodded. “A bath would be good. Tell Ovidia I only need a pot’s worth of boiled water added to the cold.”  She nearly sighed with relief. “Yes, master.”

He couldn’t let that happen. Abruptly he stood, making for the stairs. Reaching the second floor, he strode down the hall to the open door of her room, startling her. “Master!” she cried, making to stand from where she was leaning against the wall, covered in a blanket. “Don’t get up,” he ordered her, and she stayed on the floor, eyes open and afraid. But he was too angry to calm her fear. Spying her small bundle next to the mat, he squatted and began untying it. “Master?” she whimpered, but he didn’t reply. Taireus opened the cloth and lay it flat on the floor, then began spreading her belongings about. A comb, some ribbons, a covered dish. He opened this last item, finding a pungent ointment he recognized as healing salve for the hands. Returning it to the floor, he surveyed the rest of her paltry possessions until he saw a small pouch. Warily he picked up the string bag, feeling it full of something finely ground. He pulled it open and gave a small sniff. A distinctive, smoky scent wafted out.

Post image Screenshot of a Word document. Text reads: "Taireus took a deep breath, standing up from his bedroom couch. Hostur had already helped him change out of his robes and outdoor shoes, bringing a fresh tunic and his indoor sandals. He smoothed down the fine silk fabric of his garment, dyed a deep green. It was a color his mother had favored, and wearing it brought on a bittersweet feeling. He felt he needed a touch of melancholy this afternoon to sober his riotous thoughts. Rose’s mere existence in his home was like a beacon in the night, a scent to a hound, impossible to forget. But he’d do his best to act as he normally did – calm, collected, in control. Descending the stairs, he made for the small dining room where he’d eaten with his parents as a youth. There had been debates and declamations and much laughter in those days, but now the room was empty save for him. Taireus reclined on the chaise, leaning on his left arm to leave his right hand free. Absently he wondered what Talia had managed to prepare for him, when he’d been expected to eat lunch at Opiter’s home. He’d been prepared to wait, but Hostur had informed him the meal was ready to be served. Awaiting the slap of sandals to announce Ovidia’s presence, he startled to see Rose enter carrying the food tray instead. Her bare feet padded nearly soundlessly across the mosaic floor as she retreated, and he realized guiltily that she must not have any shoes to wear. Still, he kept his face neutral as she returned with a second set of dishes, arranging them carefully on the low table before him. "

Post image Screenshot of a Word document, the text reads: Absently she rubbed at the spot on her inner forearm marked with a modulla, symbolizing her lifelong servitude. It didn’t hurt anymore, though it had taken months to heal. But she’d been fortunate her master spent the money to have her mark tattooed, not branded like she’d seen done to others. Their cries of agony still echoed in her dreams, some nights. Rose was pulled from her thoughts by Vatia’s voice calling her name. She turned to face her superior, hoping she wasn’t about to be summoned to yet another private room. “Here,” the older woman said, holding out a silver coin. Rose stared at it uncertainly, and Vatia sighed, pulling her hand out and placing the coin in her palm. “He left this for you, along with his thanks,” she explained.  Rose stared down at it, still processing the meaning of the shining thing in her hand. “Is that her first tip?” exclaimed Mirelia, one of the younger bath slaves. “And it’s silver?” “Who got a silver tip?” asked another slave, poking her head through the door. “It’s Rose!” gasped yet another voice, and soon she was surrounded by jostling figures eager to catch a glimpse of a coin rarely seen by slaves, worth twenty copper ones. “What did you do?” asked Ganuta, a pleasure slave who’d taken Rose under her wing when she first arrived.
