Happy (belated) Teaser Day, and I hope you have a great weekend! ๐
Kara dropped her battle-axe, as if to emphasize that she was not, in fact, going anywhere. Her blue gaze shifted toward Roseโglistening like ice, piercing Rose to the core. โYou want me to betray you?โ she said, her voice a low growl.
โWhy not?โ Rose said with a weary shrug. โYouโd betray anyone else.โ
โBecause youโre not anyone else,โ Kara said. Her shoulders relaxed, and everything about her seemed softer, all of the sudden, as if sheโd cracked herself open, left herself vulnerableโfor the first time in her life.
Iโm a little late (again) because of internet troubles (again). Thursdays are clearly bad luck. ๐ Buuuuuut…I have something new for you! ๐ Iโve been working on my lesbian pirate WIP a lot lately, and I finally felt comfortable enough to share a scene this week! ๐
(Keep in mind this is definitely a rough draft, still. ๐ )
I havenโt decided on a title for it yet. In my computer, itโs called Lesbians, Pirates, and Dragons, but uhh…obviously, thatโll change. ๐ But it follows Emilia, a dragon-commanding sorceress who joins a pirate crewโand Captain Maria Welles, the pirate captain sheโs totally not in love with (wink, wink). These characters are so much fun, and I canโt wait to tell you more about them. But for now…hereโs a fun scene:
In which my witch-turned-pirate threatens to steal my pirate captainโs shipโand my pirate captain is simultaneously appalled andโฆinto it??? ๐ Like I said, theyโre fun. ๐ Happy Teaser Day! ๐
(P.S. – Ignore the title in the teaser. I change it like once a week. ๐ )
I havenโt started making teasers for my next book yet. So, today is another one from The Reignof Darkness. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
But I do have some aesthetics and character pictures for the new project to share with you soon. So, keep an eye out for those! ๐ Iโve also been talking about my new project on Twitter. ๐
I hope you have a great weekend! ๐
โAre you telling me that the fate of the world rests in the hands of a nerd with fangs and her crazy, battle-axe-wielding girlfriend?โ
I completely forgot to share our teaser on Thursday, so for the last teaser of Pride Month, hereโs Kara being โvery proud of herselfโ …instead of preparing for an apocalypse. ๐
Rose gave her a skeptical look. โYou havenโt had time to warn them that theyโre all going to die, but youโve had time to tell them Iโm your new girlfriend?โ
Kara grinned, her light blue eyes sparkling. โIโm very proud of myself.โ
Rose tilted her head, flashing a sassy smile at her. โArenโt you always?โ
โUhh, hello?!โ the vampire interrupted. โYou said the world is ending?!โ
Happy 3rd Teaser Day of Pride Month! ๐ค๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ค๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ค
โIโve defied fate at every turn for you.โ
โI know,โ Kara sighed. โAnd I have no right to ask you to do it again.โ
Rose turned toward Kara, studying her with a frown. โAsk me, anyway.โ
Karaโs light blue gaze shifted up, meeting Roseโs. โWhat?โ
Rose stepped closer. She reached up, brushing her fingertips over Karaโs face. She watched as Karaโs eyes closed, as she leaned forward. โAsk me, anyway,โ Rose repeated. She tilted her face, her lips brushing Karaโs. โBecause Iโll say yes.โ
Her voice was barely a whisper, now. โIโll always say yes.โ
For the second Teaser Day of Pride Month, hereโs Rose and Kara having a Totally Normalโข๏ธ bedtime dispute. ๐
โYouโre not keeping a battle-axe in the bed that we share.โ
Kara stepped closer, before taking another sip of her drink. โWhy not?โ
Rose lifted both eyebrows, unable to hide her smile. โBecause itโs sharp!โ
Kara leaned closer. โSo are you,โ she said, tapping Roseโs chest with the bottom of her glass. Her lips curved into a smile. โBut I still keep you in my bed.โ
Rose opened her mouth and closed it again, blushing at the implications. Finally, she managed, โMental sharpness doesnโt hack peopleโs heads off, Kara.โ
โชAlways relevant, I think, but definitely right now. โค๏ธโฌ
โHatred doesnโt win with numbers or weapons. It wins with silence. It wins when people sweep it under the rug or try to justify it. It wins when people defend the indefensible. It wins when weโre too scared or too apathetic to fight back. And I wonโt let it win. Not today. Not ever.โ
Rose may not be scared of ancient vampires, vengeful telepaths, killer queens, entire armies, bombs, or world wars. But going on a date with the woman sheโs loved for months? Truly terrifying. ๐
Happy Teaser Day! ๐
โIโm not sure I even remember what a real date is!โ Rose squeaked. โLikeโฆdoes it involve flowers? Murder?!โ
Kara snorted, โBoth, in my experience.โ
โWhat I do remember,โ Rose said, โis that Iโm terrible at them.โ
Kara raised an eyebrow. โYou said you were a terrible girlfriend, too.โ
โI am!โ Rose said defensively. โIโm a total disaster.โ
Kara sat up, slowly, leaning toward Rose. โYeah?โ she said, affection and amusement sparkling in her intense, ice-blue eyes.
