A little sneak-peek...

Here's a neat little peek at what I'm currently writing. It's paranormal romance/urban fantasy with a really cool cast of characters and a lot of fun elements and a beautiful cover and a protagonist named Minerva/Mindy who I really love. Mindy is a down-to-earth meta, sassy kind of girl, but not mean sassy, very good-natured sassy. It's fun.

Quote:

“I’m sorry,” I said simply, fumbling for words. It was all I could come up with.

“So am I,” he whispered.

He stepped closer, his gaze deepening. “I never meant to hurt you, Min. You know how much you mean to me.”

Butterflies rose in my stomach, comforting old friends that reminded me of the excitement of falling for him the first time. Not much had changed, truth be told. I was as much his as I’d ever been.

“You know I’ll always love you, no matter what happens,” I assured him, gravitating toward him. The inches between us were rapidly shrinking. “Right?”

His eyelids shuttered as the folds of our clothes brushed, tantalizingly close. “I know,” he stuttered. “I know, Min.”

The sound of footsteps drew our attention. Court was coming through the dark dining room, Capri following right behind her. She flipped on the overhead lights, flooding the dining room with light, and by the time they reached the lobby Hugh had fled out the front door, up to his room. He’d retreated again, and I probably wouldn’t see him for the rest of the night. I sighed in defeat. At least it felt like we’d made some progress.

This is a scene between Mindy and her ex Hugh. A little sliver of it at least. I'm currently at 7k words and I think it will be two or three more chapters. At least. I'm calling it Rescue. Or Crossroads. But probably Rescue. The motel it's set at is named the Crossroads Motel, though.

I'll also write a chapter of Lovely Omens today once I'm done this, but I do have to finish this first or I'll break my really good stride. I love when inspiration strikes.

Literally nobody is reading these blogs because I'm not cross-posting about them on other social media. I'm kind of enjoying writing in a vacuum. I'll just start sharing these blogs later this month once I'm ready to focus energy on that kind of stuff. It doesn't ultimately matter, just the writing matters. The fact is I just like documenting it for my own sake and memories.

But this novella is neat af, and future me will be grateful I shared this. Also, not to future self: Scott probably deserves his own spin-off.
