Excerpt snippet #12 Dec 7

His eyes widened. It wasn’t disbelief I saw in his blue-gray depths. It was acceptance.

I let out a relieved sigh. He didn’t think I was crazy. Still, my head was spinning. Time travel? Maybe I was dreaming.

What do we have here?” a male asked from behind us.

I turned in King Roan’s arms.

Another man, one just as handsome as the king, entered, his eyes lighting up. “Who is this dark-skinned beauty?”

I had to bite my lip to make sure I wasn’t stuck in a dream.

The sharp sting burned my eyes.

Queridos dioses. I wasn’t dreaming.

Excerpt snippet #11 Nov. 30

Since my bandmates and I had gotten different rune tattoos that had mystical powers while on tour in Romania about seven years ago from an old gypsy witch, tattoos we hadn’t chosen, we’d had to fumble our way through our new shared destiny. We’d only recently learned that we were supposed to be trained. I guessed it was my turn to face my destiny, and listening to my gut seemed to be the best way to cope. Right now, my intuition urged me to be honest.

I looked up at him and whispered, “I-I’m from the future.”

Then, I cringed and braced myself for his reaction, which could be harmful for me, though my gut and my tingling Gateway rune told me time travel wasn’t too far out of the realm of belief for these elven-like beings.

Excerpt snippet #10 Nov. 23

 King Roan narrowed his eyes at me.

A sudden stab of dread pierced my gut like a cold blade. “I-I’m sorry. What year is this?”

The king sneered. “The Christian monks call it the year of our lord 450.”

I gasped, struggling to breathe, and staggered right into the king’s arms. When the commander tried to intervene, the king waved him off and steadied me with his strong embrace. He smelled of sandalwood and sweet woodland herbs, and my body tingled, my knees trembling.

Excerpt snippet #9 Nov. 16

He extracted his hand but not before I noticed his long, graceful, and manly fingers, with sprinkles of blond hair. They spoke of strength.

“You speak our language, outsider. Where are you from? Your skin is dark but lighter than a Moor.”

Something was very wrong.

I furrowed my brow. “I-I’m from Los Angeles.”

He rubbed his chin. “Is that across the sea? Their customs are strange. It would explain your odd clothing and your different dialect.”

“What is this place called?”

He tightened his lips before answering. “Ireland.”

Panic set in, my heart pounding.

“How the hell did I get to Ireland?” I blurted before I could stop myself, though this fantastical elven place didn’t resemble any pictures I’d seen of Ireland, past or present.

Excerpt snippet #8 Nov. 9

 His perceptive gaze swept over my snug T-shirt, resting for a moment on my breasts, and then he appraised my sleeve tattoo of DC Comics characters on my right arm with a creased brow. He shifted his focus to my face, narrowing in on my nose and eyebrow ring before meeting my eyes.

He jerked his chin toward my hat. “Remove your helmet.”

Helmet? My senses prickled. I took off my baseball cap, stuffed it in my pants pocket, and stood still while he touched the highlighted red tips of my black hair.

“Strange, beautiful coloring, like flames against a moonless night sky.”

I swallowed hard. That was the most romantic line I’d ever heard from a guy. My cheeks grew hot.

Excerpt snippet #7 Nov. 2

King Roan grunted and put his finger beneath my chin, coaxing me to look at him. “What is your name?”

“Dina.”

His touch produced strange tingles. I quivered beneath his stare, the blue-gray in his eyes flickering and softening for a moment, his jaw set tight.

He quickly withdrew his finger and cleared his throat as if the brief spark of emotion when he’d touched me surprised him. “Rise.”

I slowly got to my feet and, finding some courage, straightened my posture, raised my head and thrust out my chin. He towered over me, well over six feet to my five foot four inches.

Excerpt snippet #6 Oct 26

The king prodded me with his leather-booted foot. “Who is this? She wears strange clothing.”

Huh, I’m thinking the same thing about you.

The ninja leader unwrapped his headscarf. “We found her inside our barriers.”

“A human breached our barriers?” A slight tone of alarm filled the king’s deep voice.

Human? What?

“I-I don’t know how I arrived here.”

The ninja leader seized the back of my neck, causing shooting pain, and I winced.

“Do not speak to the king unless told to do so,” he growled.

King Roan waved his hand downward. “Release her, Commander.”

He did but roughly pushed my head before he backed off. I turned a glare on the commander, cringed beneath his withering stare, and then faced the king, deciding it might be wise, at least for now, to keep my eyes lowered. These people were acting strange, and my gut was warning me to be careful.

Excerpt snippet #4 Oct. 12

My captors pushed me toward the bridge spanning the river.

I scowled at them. “Hey, dudes, easy.”

“Walk or I will have you dragged across,” the leader grated between clenched teeth.

I lifted my chin and walked, the two men holding my arms. They led me up marble steps to an arched doorway. The leader stepped ahead of us, motioning for all four men to wait with me. After a few minutes, he reappeared, and then my captors thrust me inside the huge domed building I’d seen across the bridge. Gripping my upper arms in a painful hold, they ushered me down an entryway lined with torches and steered me around a central stone fire pit. They shoved me forward and released me so abruptly I fell to my knees, landing hard on a bearskin rug. I started to stand and was forced back down.

“Kneel before King Roan,” the leader rasped as he pushed on the back of my neck.

Excerpt snippet #2 Sept 28

My senses prickled. It was that feeling of being watched, yet I saw nothing. Then, the trees shimmered, and five figures stepped silently from the woodlands like ghosts. Armed with bows and bronze swords, they were clothed in leather of woodland hues that helped them blend into the forest, only their eyes visible, their faces and heads covered in hoods and scarves like ninjas.

I gaped at them. Had I stepped into a LARP gathering?

Surrounding me, the ninjas pointed their weapons at me. Fierce blue eyes met my wide-eyed gaze. Uh-oh. I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore. I didn’t move, my shoulders stiff as fear seized me. Something wasn’t right.

“How did you get in here?” one asked, the voice low and guttural. He was speaking some strange language, but my Gateway rune tingled and helped me understand his words.

I answered him truthfully in the same tongue. “I don’t know. Where is here?”

He grunted and scowled at me.

Excerpt snippet #1 Sept 21

I landed on a hard ground of rock and grass. The air knocked from me, I gasped for breath. For long moments, I couldn’t move, and I fought the urge to vomit, my stomach roiling. I slowly sat up. The bench, Selena, and the cemetery were nowhere in sight.

For as far as I could see, rows of trees filled the view, not the trees I was used to seeing in Los Angeles. The pines and oaks here differed from the ones I remembered from Big Bear, the forest…primordial, the moss-covered trees so thick and tall they hid the sunlight.

Where was I?

Fragrant pine and earthy scents permeated the grove, and I stilled. Odd. There were no car engines or airplane noises, just singing birds. It was both serene and eerie.

I pulled my cell phone out of my pants pocket. No signal.

“Mierda,” I muttered, turned it off, and put it back in my pocket.

Medieval Monday: White Rose of Avalon Final Excerpt #medmonspring20

Welcome to the final day of Medieval Monday. This snippet is the ending to my excerpt from White Rose of Avalon.

Blurb:

Do you like captivating, passionate historical fantasy featuring King Arthur, Gwenhwyfar, Merlin, Nimue, Morgaine, and Lancelot? Inspired by The Mists of Avalon, this sensual retelling of the Arthurian romances brings these legendary characters to life.

Destiny cannot be altered.

With Britannia falling to the Saxon hordes, Morgaine, Queen of the Faeries, has no choice but to make a pact with the Christian monks. She promises to give them a High King who will unite the Britons against the Saxons if he takes a queen from the faery realm. Morgaine hopes this will restore the Goddess faith and return Avalon to its rightful place. She sends Lancelot to guard the future High King, but when a love potion falls into the wrong hands, all seems lost.

Gwenhwyfar is the only hope for the future, but betrayal, revenge, and forbidden love surround her, all of which could send both Britannia and Avalon into ruins.
