Chapter 2: Body Snatched

Tess jumped up, charging Rohan, and then she was on him, clawing and screaming, a silver glow emanating from her skin.

Rohan pushed her and held her at arm’s length, but she swiped his arm away, pushing it aside as if it were nothing. Supernatural strength! He hadn’t expected that.

He couldn’t strike her. Even if Altemus was inside her, it would hurt Tess, and she was innocent.

They stumbled backward and collided with a wall.

Something metallic hit him on the head, and suddenly the room was spinning and he was on the floor.

Pots and pans clanged around him, and seeing blood on one of them, he realized that must have been what hit him.

Hands were around his throat. He grunted as Tess spoke, and this time it was Anne Altemus’s voice that said, “You tried to destroy us. But we waited, we recovered our strength, and now it’s us who will destroy everything you care about.” (more…)

Chapter 1: Blind Date

Rohan climbed onto the crowded metro bus with a bouquet of flowers in hand. With a burst of energy, he sprung up the steps and into the aisle, where he became immediately aware of eyes. Passengers, who had been sullenly gazing out the window during the evening commute, had stopped to stare at him.

It must have been the flowers. He gave an awkward smile and weaved between the riders who were standing or sitting with their feet jutting into the aisle.

Soon the people went back to their routine. A newspaper rustled. Rock music blared through the headphones of a nearby teenage girl. Someone was eating Chinese food in spite of the bus’s no food or drink policy, and the smell of fried rice reminded Rohan of the Chinese restaurants in L.A.

Ever since he had moved to Virginia, he’d gotten stares. Maybe it was in his mind, but regardless, he just couldn’t feel at home here, even though he had started over. Saving the world and catching a glimpse of a better side of the afterlife while saying farewell to your dead fiancé tends to unbalance even the greatest of minds. At least, that’s what Rohan told himself every time he started to feel a bit dizzy or like he didn’t belong in this world.

A woman’s voice sounded from the back of the bus.

“Rohan, over here!” (more…)

DEATH MARKED – SNIPPET 3

As we prepare to release book 3, I thought I’d share a couple snippets of Book 1 and 2 with you. So here’s some of Death Marked (Modern Necromancy Book 1). Here goes!

They ran down the steep mountain slopes that had taken them several days to climb. More than once they had to hide in crevices in the rocks, cramped against each other, waiting with paused breath in the darkness as snowmobiles zoomed past, headlights casting long shadows across the face of the mountain.

“They’re relentless,” Rohan said, after they climbed out a crevice for the fifth time.

Altemus joined him, then patted the velvet bag around his waist. “Let ‘em try to take it from me.”

It was grueling and nerve-racking, but they made their way down the slopes without being caught. After a day’s travel, the snowmobile patrols let up as the snow gave way to rocky ground. The trio had the advantage on foot, and now that they were in the clear, they picked up their speed and descended twice as fast as they had climbed.

The sky changed from gray to bright blue with wispy clouds. The sharp, snowy peaks of the Urals rose into the air behind them. The air grew fuller, too, and Rohan loosened his jacket collar as the temperature rose and he found it easier to breathe. Every once in a while, he looked over his shoulders at the peaks, glad the temple was far away. (more…)
