Hello, Snippetteers! — you can see why this is a little late, I’ve been in cryogenic suspension and it’s taken me just a little while to thaw out. (Seriously, if I’m going to live where the air hurts my face, I’d better be getting SOME benefit out of it!)
I’m attaching pretty much the hottest-off-the-presses excerpt I have — I’ve been snowed and frozen in all day, so I’ve been spending my time writing, and as of this moment there are only two sentences beyond this point in the WIP. And for once, it’s actually six sentences — and, really, needs no introduction.

Fae were naturally immune to human diseases, but it hadn’t taken Conall long, after his arrival in the human world, to learn that he was as prone as any human to tension headaches. And he could feel a dandy coming on. Yet another wellspring had emerged within shouting distance of the great nexus. His partner’s ex-boyfriend was trapped in it, and Conall would eat someone else’s shorts, since he never wore any himself, if the trap had been laid by anyone other than the incredibly touchy daragin and Gille Dubh. And then there was the problem of Tiernan Guaire’s newly-arrived long-lost nephew, who claimed a SoulShare bond with said ex, not to mention the right to blood vengeance for the crime that had originally gotten Tiernan thrown out of the Realm.
At least there’s nothing left to go wrong.

Ah, just another day in the life…..;)
“At least there’s nothing left to go wrong.”
I think he’s going to regret those words…
Almost immediately, actually. *winks*
Uh oh, Conall *really* shouldn’t have said that last sentence! 🙂
Brrr. At least it’s good writing weather. 🙂 No immunity to tension headaches. Heh.
I love this series 😀 This one looks as complex and intriguing as the rest
That sounds horribly cold!
Ah, tension headaches…universal in any language.
Knock on wood, quick!
Famous last words! I’d say this fae has earned his tension headache. Goodness!
Nothing left to go wrong? That’s what he thinks… Twinklebritches is always optimistic. 🙂
