Snippet – Rule One

Rule one of dating a dragon sorceress: Itโ€™s best to save the affectionate threats for when her dragonโ€™s not standing behind you. ๐Ÿ‰

"Did you just compliment me, Captain?"

"No." Maria tried to wipe the blood from Em's eye with her thumb, but the steady flow made it impossible. "I was complimenting myself, actuallyโ€”for my brilliant instincts in hiring you."

Maria ripped part of her sleeve and tried to use the fabric to slow the blood flow, but it soaked through before she even found the source.

It was in Em's hair, on her neck...

Maria jerked her hands back. "Em, you keep bleeding!"

"Mm." Em closed her eyes and swayed. "It's just a head wound."

"Just?" Maria caught her by the arms. "I'm going to kill you."

Maria didn't realize her mistake until the dragon behind her growled.

I shared this snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) for the #lesficfri theme, โ€œhairโ€ โ€”because Iโ€™m sure blood-soaked hair was exactly the direction everyone else went with this. ๐Ÿ˜…

Anyway, I hope youโ€™re all doing well this week. โค๏ธ

Iโ€™m finally feeling better (after what feels like a year), and Iโ€™m planning on sending out our newsletter tomorrow. So, keep an eye out for that. โค๏ธ

Snippet – Eyes

A snippet from Book 1 this week. ๐Ÿ–ค

"The first law is simple."

"You're mine until death," Maria interjected.

Emilia glanced at the pirate captain, her eyes wide.

"That's not exactlyโ€”" Zain shook his head, clearly not amused by Maria's humor. "Unfortunately, Em, it seems our good captain is not taking this seriously."

Was it a joke, though?

Because those dark eyes of Maria's looked capable of stealing a lot more than gold.

If you follow me on social media, you might know Iโ€™ve been mostly useless for over a week now because of a migraine. Iโ€™m currently entering that post-migraine depression where my mind punishes me for being a human with chronic illness. This is good news, though, because it means Iโ€™m nearing the end! ๐Ÿ˜… (It also usually means my blood countโ€™s returning to normal!) 

Anyway, if you go through this a lot, too, consider this your periodic reminder that youโ€™re not alone. ๐Ÿ’™

I hope this week brings you all the lovely things. ๐Ÿ’™

Snippet – Change of Heart

Maria loves being the bad influence. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

"Maybe, then, you'd have a change of heart."

Emilia stared blankly at her. "You want me to get drunk and be okay with murder?"

Maria spread out her arms. "Isn't that what piracy is?"

This snippet from Goddess of the Sea (Lesbians, Pirates, & Dragons: Book 2) was for the #lesficfri theme, โ€œheart,โ€ and I definitely meant to add it here on Friday or Saturday, not midway into the next week. But you knowโ€ฆdepression spirals. ๐Ÿ˜…

I hope youโ€™re all holding up okay. ๐Ÿ’™

I feel like Iโ€™m saying that a lot lately, but I mean it.

Sending love. ๐Ÿ’™
