Snippet – Breathing Fire

Whatโ€™s great about this is that you know Emโ€™s discussed it with her dragons at some point. ๐Ÿ˜…

Maria leaned forward conspiratorially. "And it wasn't to breathe fire at my quartermaster?"

"Well... no," Emilia said. "Dragon sorcerers can't breathe fire. Some of them can wield fire, but we can't breathe it." She waved her hands. "Our bodies are too soft and fleshy."

Gosh, this has been an overwhelming week already. I really hope youโ€™re all doing okay. ๐Ÿ–ค

Snippet – Trust Me

I guess itโ€™s not hard to look well-behaved, standing next to Captain Maria Welles. ๐Ÿ˜…

"The captain wasn't an easy child," Judith said. "Trust me. As the girl who always got in trouble with herโ€”even though I've done nothing wrong in my entire lifeโ€”"

Emilia lifted her eyebrows at that.

In case you missed it:

The very entertaining literary podcast Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma’am discussed Pirates of Aletharia last month. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’™

Listening to this episode left me both giddy (because holy-cow-thatโ€™s-my-book-oh-my-gosh ๐Ÿ˜…) and with a sore stomach because I laughed so much. ๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s so much fun. ๐Ÿ’™

Iโ€™ve included links for anyone below whoโ€™d like to check it out. ๐Ÿ’™

โ€œ12 - It's Britney, Bitch! (Pirates of Aletharia)โ€

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am!

โ€ข Nov 8 โ€ข 2 hr, 33 min

In our Season 2 Premiere, we discuss Pirates of Aletheria by Britney Jackson.

Pirates, Dragons, and Lesbians Oh My! This tale has the Ma'ams impressed and ready to surrender to Captain Maria Welles.

I have a new snippet to share with you, an announcement, and a newsletter to send out, but until then, happy New Yearโ€™s Eve! ๐Ÿ’™

Siren Teeth

Silly human. ๐Ÿ˜…

Snippet on underwater background:

"I wish you'd been a little more clear in your descriptions."

From the breathlessness of Maria's voice, Emilia figured she could only be talking about one thing. "You mean the breasts? I didn't think it would bother you," she admitted. "You grew up in a tavern, for Aletha's sake."

"Not the breasts," Maria threw out her hands in frustration. "The teeth, Em!
The f*cking teeth!"

Several curious heads poked out of the water.

Emilia took the shouting pirate by the arm and led her away from the hungry sirens. When they were out of earshot, she whispered, "I told you they had smiles like sharks."

"I thought you meant not to trust them," Maria said.

With a puzzled frown, Emilia said, "If I'd meant that, I would've said it."

This weekโ€™s snippet fit the #lesficfri theme on Twitter, which was โ€œwish.โ€ ๐Ÿ’™

I know this was a bit of a random one, but I hope you enjoyed it, anyway! ๐Ÿ’™

Iโ€™m on a mission right now to hunt down all of the messages I missed when my physical and mental health were taking turns being awful. So, if the message can be found, I hopefully will find it and reply soon! ๐Ÿ’™

I hope you have an awesome week, and for anyone already celebrating, happy holidays! ๐Ÿ’™
