Hola Snippetteers!
I’ve been MIA lately, the combination of the DJ being extra-Evil and many author duties has been brutal. That condition should continue at least through June but who needs sleep, right? 😉 Hopefully I’ll be able to participate in Snippet Sunday regularly again—I missed everyone!
Before I get to the snippet I have two announcements. The witch story (Jeffrey and Michael)—The Pinch of the Game—will go up for pre-order on May 22nd! I have a cover reveal planned, with a Rafflecopter giveaway, so stop by here or Facebook for a link. This cover is a beaut!
The book formerly known as the wrecking yard romance has a new title, Torque, and is scheduled for release in February of 2016 by Samhain! I’m over the moon about this, so i’m sharing a bit from Torque today.
In this snippet, Mick (MC#1) is hanging out with Scotty (MC#2) at his place. After pizza, movies, and beer, this is what happens.
He thought for a second that Scott leaned toward him once or twice, in a way that was a little more than friendly, but it had to be the beer. Mick Randall wasn’t a stranger to self-medicating with alcohol but before he found Bell’s he hadn’t had a lot of money to spare, and lately he hadn’t had the time. Together, those circumstances had turned him into a lightweight.
Mick wasn’t capable of walking in a straight line by the time he hit the can, but it didn’t matter. Four beers was plenty and he’d take the other two out of Scott’s fridge the next day and remember not to bring more. If he wanted a drink, he wouldn’t have to drive far. When he left the bathroom his thoughts centered on that warm, happy feeling, and what he could get up to the next day. Before he knew what was happening, Scott had him backed against the wall, both hands spread across his chest.
Thanks for reading!

You’re a tease … you can’t stop there! 🙂 Look forward to reading more …..
Thanks, Iris! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😉
Pizza, movie, beer, it might be time for dessert.
Exactly! Thanks for commenting, Linda. 🙂
Charley’s back! \o/ Hi, Charley!! We missed you.
I’m with Iris: just one more sentence? Or two? 😀
So glad that PInch is out soon–I’ve been waiting.
Thanks, Sarah, glad to be back!
Hmmm… i’d love to, but maybe after it’s been edited. I think next week i’ll go back to Pinch–far less comma abuse there thanks to my wonderful editors. 🙂
Welcome back! Congrats on the upcoming releases. *tries to turn the page on the blog* More? I wanna know what happens!
Thanks, PT! February isn’t THAT far away… 😉
Kudos on all of your terrific news!
So it seems that Scott is taking control and making it happen – just hope that it’s not just the beer acting…
Thanks, Chelle! Nope, Scotty has poor impulse control but he doesn’t drink. 😀
Reblogged this on Cecilia Corona.
Welcome back and congrats! Always love to read your snippets, a tease as always.
Thanks, Cecilia! 🙂
Oh ho, guess he’s not the only one affected. Great snippet and congratulations on having a release date, Charley. 🙂
Thanks, Siobhan! *hugs* And thanks again for your beta–your comments gave me the courage to send it to Samhain & i’m so glad i did!
I’m so glad I could help. It’s a great story and I’m so glad they accepted it. 😀
Nice to see you again, congratulations on the book news, enjoyed the snippet!
Thanks, Veronica! Always nice to see your smiling face in the comments! 🙂
Welcome back. Hmmm… Scott isn’t holding back. Guess it’s in Mick’s court now. 😀
Thanks, Gem! Holding back isn’t one of Scotty’s talents. 🙂
Not cool to end things like that. You’re mean. 🙂 🙂 🙂
