June’s AbsoluteWrite Blog Chain prompt was to post a scene that describes or defines your main character’s attitude. Callista Shea is a combat-trained Fire Witch trapped in an office job. This scene, from my urban fantasy HUNTING IN THE DARK, where she has been asked by her friend Minerva to watch over Minerva’s flower shop, illustrates her peculiar way of dealing with men. I hope you enjoy.
WARNING: This scene contains profanity, and incompetence.

"my brain shrinks to the size of a pea, rolls out of my ear and disappears" LOL, great line :-) Sounds like those two are in for some fun later, cause he doesn't strike me as the sort to let such an opportunity pass.
ReplyDelete"He probably liked things to be symmetrical. I glared at the flower arrangement. It could only be considered nice if you liked things like hydra, or explosions." - Awesome. Is Hunting In The Dark published? If so, I'd check it out.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this scene, mysticcrossroads. You have a great way of drawing the reader right into your story. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletecollectonian, They will be having some amusing encounters, as the plot permits.
ReplyDeletemysticcrossroads, thank you so much. Alas, it is not yet published. I'm currently querying.

I knew the scene would be funny and you did not disappoint!!
Thank you for stopping by, folks. I do appreciate the comments. Kay, good luck on your pitch!
ReplyDeleteWell that was delightful. I loved every word of it--so charming and funny. But you had me after the first paragraph describing Dylan, truth be told. Rrrroooowwwrrr.
ReplyDeleteOh if only Dylan were real...I echo Claire. Rowwrrrrrrrr *licks lips*
