Sunday Snippet from BloodVault

It's Sunday Snippet time, so here's a tasty little teaser from BloodVault, due out Nov. 27th.

"With dagger in my sweaty palm, I raced up a set of steps leading to a bridge that spanned the frozen moat. I prayed no henchmen would spring into sight. Surely the crunch of my boots on the snow would give me away? Where were the woods? Terens said to make for the woods. A whistle split the silence. My heart leapt into my throat and like a startled rabbit, ran for the nearest clump of trees. Ahead of me, a figure loomed. Alec? I couldn’t tell and I couldn’t risk running directly into the arms of a rebel. I changed direction, caught my heel on a rock, my ankle turned and I went down.
Blood thrummed in my ears as I scrambled to my feet.
Someone grabbed my arm. I screamed, withdrew my knife and stabbed out wildly."

For readers new to Dantonville, I hope this whets your appetite. It's not too late to catch up with the series before Book 3 comes out. Amazon US  Amazon AU  Amazon UK  Amazon CA

 

Until next time ...

Bleeding Heart Blog: Best Paranormal Book Award.

This month has been amazing. First, Bloodgifted came runner-up in the Bleeding Hearts Blog Readers Choice Award for Best Paranormal Book for 2015. What a thrill to have even been nominated, let alone come so close to a win. I thank each and every one of those lovely people who voted for me. I'm humbled. And who knows, maybe next year I'll win.

Secondly, I completed Blood Vault, Book 3 of my gothic romance series The Dantonville Legacy. But more on that in my next post. 

For now, I'm basking in my award and awaiting my official certificate in the mail. There's a space on my office wall, just above my desk, specially prepared.

I delved into my archives and found the post of my dream cast, should a film ever be made of Bloodgifted. Like I said, I can always dream.
And if you want to find out more about me and the inspiration behind The Dantonville Legacy Series, check out an interview I did in 2013 with the super-talented best selling paranormal romance author Lindsay J Pryor on the Hot Pink Typewriter.
