    Teaser Tuesday – Release Day! Release Day! The Charmed Bracelet

    \"TheToday is the day!  Today is the day!  I’m so excited.  The Charmed Bracelet is release into the world for your enjoyment, Dear Reader.  And for Teaser Tuesday, I figured I’d give you a snippet of the story by Rachel Wilder and I, called “Lost and Found.”

    * * *

    It looked like any corporate conference room, and Shannon suppressed her disappointment. She’d half expected an interrogation cell like on a cop show, complete with one-way glass and a little ring fused into the table for the handcuffs.

    On the other hand, since her imagination was doing its best to freak her out, this was probably better.

    “Thanks for coming down to meet with me.” The detective held out his hand. “I’m Detective Delgado; we met last night.”

    She nodded. “I remember.” His hand was warm and dry. Little prickles went up her arm, and she released him, wishing she could rub her palm without looking like she was, well, rubbing off his handshake. Or cherishing it.

    He beamed at her and then motioned to a chair. “Please, have a seat. You seemed shaken up last night.”

    “Yeah.” She swallowed. “Pretty unexpected.”

    He sat opposite her and flipped open a pristine manila folder. Then he set that to the side and pulled a white legal pad from under the stack. “Start at the beginning. Tell me, in your own words, what happened.”

    She surprised a sudden urge to giggle and blurt out, “Who else’s words would I use?” but she managed to control herself. What was with her?

    He was as hot as her memory told her. Talk about distracting. Why couldn’t he look like Serpico and smell like old cigars?

  • Teaser Tuesday – Sapphire Dream

    In our series, the Persis Chronicles, Rachel and I created a universe where Keepers, short for “housekeepers,” are prized helpmeets who can command a high salary for their work.

    One too many days dusting and doing laundry, two jobs that seem to create themselves if left alone for five minutes.

    As we get our heads together to finish the draft of the third book in the series, Sapphire Dream, I figured I\’d share a little Teaser Tuesday fun with you:

    They got underway after the Winds stilled.  Sami sat next to Cheula, concentrating on the track.  The swoosh and rustle of the sandsail lulled Cheula.  He stirred finally, and craned around to look up at Sami.  “You hungry?”

    “I could snack on sommat,” the Driver admitted.  “We’re a quarter hour out from the Oasis, though.”

    “I can get you some seeds,” Cheula decided.  He crawled around Sami’s legs and stood in the back of the sail, holding onto the rail for balance.

    He turned to say something and a large green mass flew at him so fast he couldn’t duck.  It landed in the center of his chest and he felt a prick against his skin.  Then he saw what it was.

    A leaper.

    He screamed, a high-pitched sound that hurt his throat, and flailed.  The leaper, startled, clutched his robes and flared its wings, clicking.  That only made it worse.  He tried to get his silks off and let go the railing.

    Sami turned.  “What’s wrong?”

    The sail belled out and the craft leaped forward.  Cheula, off balance, flailed and missed the railing.

    “Cheula!” Sami cried.
