I wish you all a

Join the fun and read our snippets.
I am posting snippets from
my new release, Gargoyle Hunt, Book 3 of Secret Supers. Sorry, it’s not really
cheerful holiday reading, although all will end happily.
Blurb
Danger is the last thing on Estelle’s mind when
she visits the University of Oxenford for a summer course. But, mysterious
thefts and shadowy figures spur her into action. With Toby five thousand miles
away, Estelle and her winged horse must hunt for the culprits alone. Soon they

impossibly long between her miniskirt and the stiletto heels.
“Toby!” Estelle hissed.
He turned to face her, “I have to
talk to her.”
“What?” she screeched, clenching
fists hot with flames.

Enjoy your holiday!
DeleteToby is being unusually careless.
Sounds like there's going to sparks flying. Happy Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry, spark-free Christmas!
DeleteOooo, flames of jealousy.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI wouldn't be happy either, if I was Estelle, but I'm betting Toby has a reason other than the obvious one LOL. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
DeleteDoes Cynthia have some kind of power, or is she being used by someone who does? Hmm...
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays, Aurora! :-)
Possibly!
DeleteHappy New Year!
I think I detect a note of jealousy in that screech.
ReplyDeleteYes - a high note!
