Okay, I don’t have any snippets/quotes/etc. to share today so taking yesterday’s lines/teases, I’ll reveal the context of each one listed. Sound like a plan?
Licking someone’s face is a quick and 100% foolproof way to end a conversation.
This line comes from Sean, my favorite seat-of-the-pants Wolf. It’s said around the “campfire” and in the hearing of DJ Collier, our intrepid Deputy US Marshal and heroine of BLUE MOON. I leave it to your imagination as to what DJ’s reaction will be.
New Orleans doesn’t forget but she does forgive.
This is something Roman, the gargoyle, once said to Sade and she will be tossing it back at him as a reminder when his book comes around. It’s book 3 of the Penumbra Papers. I’ll get there eventually.
In my family, we didn’t have leftovers, we had evidence.
This is a line Lawyer Guy tossed my way and had to do with a mother who was a notoriously bad cook. In this case, it’s something a grown-up Liam might say to someone regarding his mom’s cooking. Hannah is NOT known as a good cook. However, I don’t want to wait so long to use it. That said, not sure where it’ll pop up but it will somewhere and in some context.
He was wearing nothing but a tattoo and a smile.
Again, this could be either my biker book or in the Hard Target series. Not sure. But yeah, some heroine is going to get an eyeful!
I’ve made note that y’all gave me your best guesses. As I get the next few projects finished, I’ll toss out the chance to beta read and each of you can let me know if you’re interested. Until then, what good words are you reading or writing?
[EDIT: Well…d’uh! I hate when I preset a post and screw up the time. Better late than never, right?]
Oh Silver, you planted a fixated character in my head. Now I hear her going off with, “He was wearing nothing but_____” and “_____ a tattoo and a smile.” She runs through one of these choices with every hot man see sees.
OMG! This actually makes a great writing prompt, Jan! LOLOL Have fun with your character and let us know when she finds “The One.” 😉
Eh, I screw up on post times, too. Stuff happens. What’s important is that it’s here now. =o)
I didn’t get ’em all right… but I was close. Still great lines, Silver. Can’t wait to read ’em in finished books.
I’m reading a book called Godhead by Ken Mooney – it was one from a book bomb for an author who’s just had brain surgery. So far, it’s pretty darn good, but no lines to offer from it yet.
