Yesterday and a Mercy Blade Snippet
Yesterday disappeared in a wash of words and a satisfying page count. I wrote 10 pages in Mercy Blade (book 3 in the JY series) and just never got here! So here I am on a Sunday, wondering what I can say. I mean, it isn’t like anything interesting is happening in my life. Except for the writing.
So I thought I’d share yesterday’s favorite lines from Mercy Blade.
I walked to Bitsa, took out three handguns and belted two into a special holster at the small of my back. I checked the loads on them all, chambering silvershot rounds. I slid two knives into my waistband. I could have called for backup, either Derek Lee or the cops. I didn’t. I did slide a pair of brass knuckles over my right fingers. I had never used brass knuckles, but right now, they felt pretty good.
I took a breath, studying the door locks. Settled my grip on the H&K nine mil in my left fist, though I was a far better shot with my right. I’d be up close. Aiming wasn’t going to be important. And I’d need the power behind my right hook. I wanted to wound, not kill. I strode up to room 114. Drawing up Beast, letting her flood my system. Unleashing just a bit of my fury.
Hope you like!
Hugs,
Faith

I just heard from my editor that Mery Blade is coming out in Jan. 2011. A whole year!!! I knooooowwww!
This is coming out when?
Sounds like a great day to me. I’ll pack the picnic and a cooler of beer, a couple of good cigars, and we’ll head into the hills. I have a new bag of books to stuff in saddle bags too!
Ahh one of my favorite web pages to escape to when the weeks been rough..Id like nothing more than to grab a few hand guns, a pair of brass knuckles, and maybe instead of jumpin on a bike I’ll grab my horse North, a Percheron and go for a looooong ride..Take Blood Cross to read, and a few other things and hide out in the mountains…Yep, sounds like a plan..No cell signal, no internet access..Ahh heaven…I gotta say tho I can not wait for Mercy Blade….
Happy writing Faith!!!!
