And we’re back with more of In Pain and Blood, which continues to grow on me. Will be hitting the next 10k milestone today. Almost feel like taking bets on how big the final first draft will be.
As always, if you want the raunchier chapters, as well as the ordinary ones earlier, then consider signing up for my spellster series exclusive newsletter.
For now, my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk, here’s another teaser.
Blurb: When a routine inspection goes awry, Dylan is left unleashed and alone. Afraid he’ll become prey for the King’s Hounds, he struggles to make his way back to the only safety he’s ever known. Or is it?
This piece jumps forward a little from last week’s one because we’ve already a fair few spoilers here. So, in brief, old roomie Sulin and new fwb Tracker have cooled down enough not to kill each other in the next breath, but something new comes to the fore with previously in-the-closet Dylan.
Surely, [Sulin] couldn’t guess such a thing from a single kiss. “What makes you think…?” Dylan managed to squeak before falling into a fit of coughing.
“So you are sleeping with him?”
“I-it’s not like that,” he stammered. “It just kind of… happened.”
The alchemist threw up his hand. “Happened?” he echoed, one brow lifting. “And how does that just ‘happen’? You two were naked together and you—what?—fell on him? Repeatedly?”
Don’t forget to check out the other excerpts at Rainbow Snippets, too.
LOL! I can just picture this scene, the expression on Dylan’s face, while the alchemist waves his hands in the air! 🙂

Dylan deserved that, trying to fool an old friend will just get you snark.

It’ll probably be less amusing in context. I’m busily writing around this spot now (chps 52/53) and quite a bit of excrement is hitting the rapidly rotating blades.
