How to Open a Door in the Most Awkward Way Possible (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of the first draft reaching 60,000 words, here’s an excerpt (everything is subject to change, as this is a first draft): Someone knocked at the door, and Nadin yelled, jumping back before he clued in. Then, feeling sheepish, he went to see who it was. He remembered at the last second that he was still holding the book. Flustered, Nadin tried to find a place for it. All too far away to reach quickly. “Art thou well?” The voice was

Of Course There’s a Fairy Prank (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of the first draft reaching 50,000 words—I won NaNoWriMo! Although I haven’t finished writing the book yet… xD—here’s an excerpt (everything is subject to change, as this is a first draft): Laehem hadn’t finished setting up by the time Adren arrived.

It was real. It was real. It was real. A tightness in Adren’s abdomen burned up her throat, pressed against her eyes. She took a deep breath. And another.

That Time Adren Cared About Being Polite (a Hunter and Prey excerpt)

In celebration of the first draft of Hunter and Prey now being at 20,000 words, here’s an excerpt from Adren trying to teach Nadin the dialect the magical creatures speak: …he wasn’t exactly a quick student. “Okay, I think I get it,” Nadin said. “Shall means will and an means if. Except when an means an and not if.” “Correct.” Then again, maybe the information was starting to soak in. “But if you can say methinks, can’t you say, I
