But
it’s easy to let him think he has the upper hand.
“Thought
you war-scions were tougher than this,” the Heritor taunted. “Guess Ares’ blood
is thinner than water.”
I
grinned, gripping the sword tight in my hands. “Maybe.” I got to my feet,
ignoring the pain from my battered body. “Maybe I’m being nice and taking it easy
on you for the first round.”
The
Heritor laughed, and I let him. It wasn’t my fault he wouldn't believe the
truth when he heard it.
I can't tell you how much fun it is to write this story. I'm always thinking about it and I really can't wait to plan the next adventure and learn about this new world I made. I think it's really cool and can't wait for the end result.
Speaking of end result, I have a favor to ask some of the WeWriWa writers, especially if you like steampunk. Since I want to begin releasing my new trilogy Dark Sky early next year, I'm looking for Beta readers and professional/semi-professional editors for the first novel, Crimson Sky, as well as the two sequels and two prequel novellas. I'm flexible with dates, and am willing to offer free Beta reading and reviews in exchange. If you're seriously interested, email me at amybraunauthor (at) gmail (dot) com so we can go over the details. If you're not interested, but know someone who might be, please shoot me their email address so I can contact them. Thanks, Warriors!
Everyone else coming by the blog today, thanks for stopping by, and remember to give the authors at WeWriWa some love. They've earned it!
Cheers!
Amy
I have a feeling someone's about to get a beatin'! :-) Isn't it great when a story is fun? It makes it easy to write when you can't wait to get back to it.

ReplyDeleteThis guy clearly can't imagine going easy on someone... which is his loss.
Haha That's the perfect way to describe this scenario! Thanks!
DeleteSomeone is about to go a-pummeling. He's going to find out that his preconceived notions can steer him very off-track.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. >:)
