Check out the WeWriWa blog for snippets from some fantastic authors!
It’s late, I must get this online.
Summary – Tau Scorpii
When Taryn rescues another human from a marauding band of Caerule, she is reunited with clansmen from her past. It puts her at odds with their new chieftan, as well as her own partner, a powerful privateer. They discover, there are more imminent problems, ones they cannot control, and must unite to survive. Easier said than done, when each of them are strong-willed, intense, and have their own plans to set in motion.
Sedna is home to hundreds predatory alien species. Humans are one of them. They’ve been there long enough to adapt, but not so long that all of them have forgotten, it’s not their world. The weather is changing. Humans are no longer at the top of the food chain.

This snippet is Taryn and Skye, about to have a fight. He wants to scare her in to going home, fearing she’ll get caught in the middle of a fight she knows nothing about. Problem is, Taryn does scare easily.

“Out here, it’s different than following Asher around his Keep, watching for trouble.”
“It is,” Skye agreed, not wanting to get confrontational. It was the only way to make her stay away – from Garrett, and from him. “Playing in the Keep is nothing like a real battle, with swords, and blood, and death, don’t pretend to think it is.”
Taryn blinked, surprised.
“You draw pretty pictures and study books that might not mean a thing. You cross the Carule and say ‘don’t draw weapons’,” he went on, a knot in the pit of his stomach. “You don’t belong out here, looking for lost cities, or facing warriors that aren’t afraid of you because of who Asher is. Go back to Argent with the stewards, before you get hurt, or before you get someone else hurt.”

I’m hoping to have a release date figured out soon for Tau Scorpii.
I have a stand-alone Wildblood novel happening, and the box set from the first trilogy is available now as an ebook. Individual ones as ebook, and paperback. Just click the pic to go to my webpage!
Well he definitely is trying! I hope it doesn’t function like reverse psychology though and make her even more determined to stay! Lots to ponder, enjoyed the snippet…

She seems to be getting a verbal beating. I wouldn’t like that.

Oooo I agree she’s getting a stern talking to, but I have to say that I love the dialogue!

I’m not sure it’s enough to scare her away. 🙂 IT’s tough to argue about it when he points out that she might get someone else hurt, though.

He might not want to be confrontational, but that’ll be how she takes his words, I’m sure.

I’m curious to know how she’ll respond to his words that practically scream: ‘get lost.’ 🙂

If she’s the headstrong sort, the things he’s saying are likely to make her do the opposite of what he suggests. We shall see!

I suspect his words are going to have completely the opposite effect to what he intended!
