Teaser of the week

So, on FaceBook I started posting a little snippet of my novel once a week, just two or three sentences.  I figured I'd do the same here, but longer.  This is from my prologue.

She wore a pale blue skirt that just touched the back of her knees. His eyes traced the moon pale curve of her bare calves, down to her black stilettos, then back up to the raven hair cascading halfway down her back in loose curls. And although she was turned away from him, he knew her face – the full lips, thin nose and most of all the deep green eyes. Green like a highland meadow or a piece of lustrous sea glass.

Only twenty feet separated them now. He moved forward with calm assuredness, closing the distance. Ten feet. He could smell her now, her soft fragrance of blossoming jasmine tingeing the air. Five feet. Reaching out a thin hand, his fingertips touched one perfect obsidian curl. Taking a deep, focused breath, he called on the dark magic that would end her existence, not only her body but her soul as well. His only regret was she had no idea what was about to hit her.

Adventures in internet marketing

So, to say I have become net obsessed in the last couple of days might be the biggest understatement in the history of understatements... I have created a website, created this blog, created a Facebook page for Eternal Memory, created a LinkedIn profile and joined lots of groups for writers and urban fantasy (the genre for my book). This has all distracted me from checking my email a hundred times a day to see if the agent has responded yet. I'm rather proud of myself, I only checked it about five times yesterday :) It's been really exciting to get feedback on the website and have people become fans of Eternal Memory on Facebook. The internet really is an amazing thing!
