SFF Saturday - Jan 07


Happy New Year everyone!
Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday is back!

On January 02, The Eternal Knot, the final in the The Lancaster Rule trilogy, was released by Champagne Books and its new SFF dedicated imprint, Burst Books.

Today, I share an encounter Josie has (from her POV) with a particular woman whom she has a keen dislike for.  For obvious reasons, of course...
         


She greeted me with a wide spread of her arms. Several gold bracelets jangled at her wrist and caught the afternoon light. She’d been lounging on a bench, posing, seemingly enjoying the gardens when I had walked in and stood aloofly motionless. A true stage diva, she played her part perfectly. Upon seeing us, she allowed her face to light up with pleasure and airily walked towards us, certain that we’d see her near-naked body through the sheer dress. Even Loeb, conservative and stoic as ever, proved he was still a man and not a robot, flicked his eyes to keep time with her jiggling boobs.
I would have rolled my eyes if I didn’t have to maintain a pleasant face.


If you're interested in participating in next week's SFF Saturday, stop by their sign-up blog which is open every Wednesdays.  And don't forget to follow the rules.

Cheers!

    I think I've met her (girls don't seem to like her as much as the guys, for some reason).

    Seriously, though, awesome snip - really like the description here. Can't wait to get to the whole book.

    LOL! I love it! You capture everything about their relationship in a few short sentences.

    Great snippet! I couldn't help but laugh when I read it. Very concise but descriptive at the same time.

    Haha, great snippet. I can really get a sense of the woman from your description. And Loeb - typical man. :p

    Do I detect a wee bit of jealousy?

    I enjoyed seeing a reaction like that from Loeb. It gives him and the situation another little layer.
