Weekend Writing Warriors / #8sunday /
This week I'm sharing another never before seen excerpt from Rising from the Darkness Book 4 in the Lustful Possession Series, which comes out tomorrow. (August 10) Yay!
“Arnie! Arnie. Wake up. You’re dreaming about Neve again.”
Lana yanked his shoulder.
“I’m sorry, Lan.”
She turned away from him and punched her pillow. “Must be coming up on the anniversary of Cairnnon crumbling,” she mumbled. “The nightmares are starting already.”
Arnie sighed heavily and got out of bed. Sleep would evade him now. He
would leave his wife in peace. No need to keep her awake while he tossed and turned.
In the kitchen, he poured himself a stiff drink and silently toasted his lovely
wife. She must truly love him. Not many would tolerate the dreams that plagued him. Nor the fact that most of them centered around another woman.
When mired in the darkness seek the light…
Against his mother’s wishes, Mishel Hewes decides to accompany his “uncle” Arnie Rollison on his yearly sabbatical to Ireland. Not a pleasure trip by any means, but to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the day that Cairnnon Castle fell.
But once in Ireland the pair find that Castle Cairnnon is being resurrected at an alarming rate, by some unknown benefactor. And Arnie’s first concern is for the body of the young intern he’d lost when the Castle toppled a quarter of a century before. A proper burial for the young woman was something Mishel’s uncle had always wished to provide for her, when her remains were finally unearthed.
Hoping to provide some solace for his adoptive uncle, Mish gets himself hired on the construction crew, which isn’t a hardship with all those hard bodies around. However, once inside the creepy stronghold Mish is plagued by the same strange phenomenon that had once threatened his father, many years before, on the ill-fated trip. Sick and suffering from the horrible affects of the elemental within, Mish falls to his knees, convinced he is at death’s door. But what he finds instead can only be described as a miracle. Or perhaps, one blessing is just another curse.

I hope the nightmares go away. Great snippet
ReplyDeleteNice scene. Really tells a lot about the characters in just a quick glimpse. Sets up questions that make you want to read on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe his wife sticks by him because the dreams of another woman are nightmares. Wet dreams might get a different reaction.
ReplyDeleteOh, that last line is a zinger! Good snippet. :-)
