First, I wish
you a wonderful New Year!
At the end of
the post, you can check my special offers.
Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences.
Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today, I’m continuing
the scene on the ocean planet from my new release Grand Master’s Mate. By this
stage, Athanor has learned not to trust entirely to his powers since their
enemies can nullify them. In this scene, he and Violet wear protective
underwater suits with air and jetpacks.
I’m skipping a few
lines from last week’s snippet, which you can read here –

The sun sank into the
green ocean and the crescent of a moon rose into the sky before they reached
their goal. At length, Callama’s shell slowed to a halt, and rocked in the
gentle swell of the green, foam-flecked waves.
The great shell
hummed, “Weep, deep, Callama dives.”
Bollerol translated
through its spout, “Callama enters the deeps. Shell sections will seal
together. Ride inside or out?”
“By thunder, I’ll
swim outside the shell and see where I’m going,” Athanor growled, pulling down
his faceplate.
“Pull me with you,”
Violet said, attaching her breather tube. The Grand Master could travel
underwater as easily as in the air. Wrapping his arm around Violet’s waist, he
vaulted into the water and grasped hold of a ridge on the exterior of Callama’s
shell.
To
celebrate completion of the Trilogy, Grand Master’s Pawn is only 99c this month
As a
holiday special, The Lady is Blue, book 1 of Atrapako on Eden, is 99c for another
couple of days.
And, my two
Novellas, Captured by the Hawk and Rosemary’s Quest are 99c.
As always, your comments
are welcome.
