Happy Mother's Day
to all the moms out there. I've been watching a James Bond marathon on Cloo all
weekend so yeah, I'm having an excellent Mom's Day. :D
Great week of
television. Gotham had a pretty great
finale. For a show with something of a wobbly premise, I actually enjoyed most
of it. The Flash and Arrow, again, kicked major ass. I don't
know, I've really enjoyed how both seasons have played out. Had some
reservations about The Flash, but I'm
quite pleased with the show.
Orphan Black continues to deliver quality episodes. I
kind of love the addition of the Castor collective. Really creeped out by
Virginia and Gracie's mom, though. I don't wish either of those ladies a happy
day… ever. LOL
Looking forward to
whenever Strike Back graces my screen
again and patiently waiting for The Last
Ship to return. Also about halfway through season three (part one) of Teen Wolf. If I thought the first two
seasons were a little crazycakes, I'm totally blown away by the bat shit
insanity of three so far. LOL
Tonight's post is
from Rack and Ruin, a novella with my main characters give free rein to their
vices only to discover they might need something else.
Here's the tagline:
And a preview snippet…
Vespa Thorn held court at a
corner table, with smoke from her cigar hanging over her head. She drew two
cards, clamped her teeth down on the stogie, and shifted it between her lips.
Laying her cards face down, she used both hands to shove her pile of chips into
the center of the table.
Glancing up she met each player's
gaze before declaring. "I'm all in, boys." She settled back in her
seat and crossed her arms over her chest.
Hale Walterson shook his head.
Vespa never did anything on a small scale. But she could figure out what needed
fixing on a piece of equipment, sometimes just by listening to the device run.
Then she found the correct spell to make it hum.
Her blonde head tilted sideways
when one of her opponents questioned her bet. She didn't say a word, simply
quirked an eyebrow. The guy shut up and Hale went back to observing Vespa.
The woman fascinated him and she
flirted up a storm, but Hale doubted she could keep up with him even if she
showed a true interest. Not when the cards always seemed to call. Tonight, for
instance, she didn't even change out of her coveralls, just yanked the top down
and tied the arms around her waist. If the head of technical maintenance caught
her, she could very well lose her job. Yet she couldn't resist a new game,
usually held in some backroom in a high end hotel such as The Harley.
He glanced at the time. Shit.
Speaking of hotels, he had a suite reserved and two extremely hot and ready
women waiting for him. The entire reason he never called Vespa on her bad habit
came down to the fact she didn't say jack about his.
As a special forces solider in
the Mage Ministry of Defense, he had something of a code of ethics he should
adhere to. But the driving need for sexual release held him in thrall and he
used every pass he got to explore his wilder nature. Shoving away from the
wall, he worked his way through the tables toward the exit.
Sending one last look over his
shoulder, he bit back a smile when Vespa threw up her hands and stood, shaking
her hips in a victory dance. Judging from the number of chips on the table, she
scored a huge win.
Tugging the door open, he did a
quick scan of the corridor and ducked out, quickly closing the thick panel to
keep the noise and smoke at bay. Straightening his jacket, he walked out into
the main concourse and took the escalator up to the seventh level, where his
suite waited, stocked with two of his favorite things—whiskey and women.
The next forty-eight hours were
his to indulge in both.
Vespa loves a good
wager and Hale might just lose if he keeps betting against her interest. Should
be fun to see where this one goes.
That's it for this
week.
Cheers!
