Weekend Writing Warriors- Enjoy a snippet from Teresa Cypher's WIP.
In her words...Setup: Earth has been invaded by aliens. Our MC, Lily
fled on foot. Her and her dog, Jobe, were just captured by the aliens.
I've skipped ahead a couple of paragraphs. Lily is on the ground with
her wrists and ankles secured. The aliens are falling asleep, and she's
having a moment of reflection of what brought her to this moment. Jobe
is right next to her. http://dreamersloversandstarvoyagers.blogspot.com/2016/04/weekend-writing-warriors-april-10-2016.html
Author of Jack and the Christmas Journey, which is featured in Have Yourself A Merry Little Romance anthology.

Snippet Sunday at Karen Michelle Nutt's Blog:
Update from last week's snippet of Flowers and Fangs: Tim tried to kill
Derek, but he fought the vampire off and wounded him. Tim escaped,
leaving Derek to face the hysterical Sloane who is chanting Omigod over
and over again. Derek is not sure if she's been bitten or has already
turned and her hysterics is only a ploy. http://www.kmnbooks.com/flowers-and-fangs-chapter-4-3/
Here's your chance to win a Kindle eBook copy of my paranormal tale, Flowers and Fangs. https://giveaway.amazon.com/p/4d9f55c40f8ee030

News From Cecilia Corona: I’m already
starting on new ideas for a second installation of Scotlynn’s story. So
keep your eyes peeled for another story in the Afterlife collection!
Also, I am finishing up a story at the
moment about a werewolf and a nymph. One’s a little bit country and the
other lets just say he is a mix of Neo from the Matrix and Arthur Bishop
from the movie Mechanic. He can totally kick butt when he needs to but
he is super smooth and stealthy and you would never know what hit ya
till it hits ya. ha! Enjoy a snippet form AFTERLIFE featured in the Be My Everything anthology: http://www.ceciliacorona.com/snippet-sunday-afterlife-2016-be-my-everything-valentines-day-collectioin-snippetsunday/
