Hello everyone!

I’ve been sharing from my current WIP, The Blood Key.
Weekend Writing Warriors.
HOW IT WORKS
It’s simple and fun. Sign up on the linky list with your name, blog url, and email address on Mondays, 8:00 AM EST. Each week, the list remains open until Saturday, 11:59 PM. Then on Sunday, post 8 to 10 sentences from a current writing project, published or unpublished. Visit other participants and offer opinions, critiques, support. Writers hanging out with writers, a good time with a great group of people.
~~~~~~~~~
8 sentences – I can manage that, can’t I? That sounded like a challenge and I was off!
Yes, it’s late in the year but what the heck! Maybe this will turn into a regular thing. I ‘ve been thinking I should share more snippets anyway. I’ve had some issues with my links in the past few weeks, let’s hope it’s all straightened out now. Keep in mind, this is truly a first draft. So here goes:
~~~~~~~~~
Dune Jasper stood in Shaya’s doorway filling the space entirely. Even without his armor, he was massive.
Instant heat surged through her body.
Wavy dark locks hung down over his shoulders, reminding her of the Highlanders she’d bedded in the sixteenth century.
His eyes were dark with the shadows of horrific deeds he’d witnessed. His facial features were perfection. She wouldn’t dare speak it aloud, but he was more handsome than her liege, Brogann. Broad shoulders, bulging biceps, forearms, and his hands were more than double the size of her own.
~~~~~
The title of this one is called The Blood Key. It is going to be a novella from my Fae series that I’ve been working on for some time now. This one is hopefully going into a paranormal fantasy anthology – fingers crossed that I make the cut!

That’s the general idea- yes! But there is more to him than just brawn!

This is one huge dude. I’m tall (my dad was a basketball center in school) so when I meet someone taller, I’m a bit intimidated.

He is! Think Drax the Destroyer! Dave Bautista was my inspiration for Dune. He is mining class Fae, much like Conan built his massive muscles by turning the wheel on the millstone, Dune has spent his life swinging hammers and pickaxes, hoisting boulders. IMpressinve on any planet!

Highlanders she’d bedded in the sixteenth century–that struck me more than the description of him. Wow. Good luck on the anthology.
