“I thought they were going to kill me up there! They broke me until I was nothing! Nothing! They cut me to ribbons for fun and were going to use me for fuel when I lost value! I didn't think I was going to be saved, and I never asked to be. If I thought she was going to be hurt, you think I would have let her come along?”
“Nothing would have stopped her, but–”
“Exactly! If anyone’s to blame for not
protecting her, it’s you.”

Yeah. This scene is fun to write. I've never written a love triangle before, and it's been a fun addition t the story. Especially since I've officially decided on Riley's secret. And oh boy, is it nasty. Anyway, the release of the idea that spawned Dark Sky, the short story Lost Sky, will be featured in the Avast, Ye Airships! anthology in just a couple weeks, so I'm working on helping with promotion. It's going to be an exciting book, lots of adventure and gadgets.
This month is also Women In Horror Month, so Mocha Memoirs has been doing a lot of promotions for their horror titles, which include my own Call From The Grave and Hotel Hell. It's so great to be part of a publisher that takes the time to support and encourage their authors.
Anyway, be on the lookout for more news and promos. Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday, and remember to read the snippets from all the other WeWriWa/8Sunday authors! Great stuff out there!
Cheers!
