SFFSat - June 09
Welcome to another SFFSat, where a bunch of us post snippets from our written works and shoot the breeze. Thanks also to everyone who stops by and leaves awesome comments. Much appreciated.
Today, I'm still keeping with The Eternal Knot (final in the Lancaster Trilogy) which was rated Best Book by Long and Short Reviews. (Voting for Book of the Month is over and I'm waiting for the results -- to those who voted for me, I so appreciate it. Thank you!!)
In this scene, Josie and her husband are in a huge medical shuttle, heading home after some 'adventures.' Josie is pretty banged up (of course, what's new with that) and they are having a little conversation about their future.
"Well, I'm luckier to have you." Josie smiled smugly. "And I can't wait to get home and start behaving like a proper wife."
"Fern hit you really hard on the head, didn't she? I'm sorry, did you just say you're going to behave like a proper wife?" John blinked, feigning incomprehension.
"No, she didn't. And yes, I am." Josie grinned despite the crippling pain that shot up her leg. "Besides, I have to."
"You do?"
"I do. What do you think all that shouting from Simon was about?"
"He was concerned for your well-being. Staying in bed to rest is not an unreasonable request, considering you've just been battered to bits and then some." John shook his head wearily.

SFFSat - June 02
Welcome to another SFFSat,
where a bunch of us post snippets from our written works and shoot the
breeze. Thanks also to everyone who stops by and leaves awesome
comments. Much appreciated.
Since The Eternal Knot (final in the Lancaster Trilogy) received a very cool review and was rated Best Book by Long and Short Reviews, today I'm going back to a snippet from it.
In this scene, Josie has just discovered that maybe she is not as alone as she originally thought. Informing her of this alarming news is my favourite character, Loeb, the trusty assistant, while her husband, John tries to comfort.

Loeb squirmed. "Quite. She makes mention of a man she met, a random dude, she calls him."
"But how? She must've been like close to seventy when she went to sleep again. She had Brandon in her forties or something. But her seventies...won't her bits have...you know...menopaused?"
"Josie, with modern science, you can continue to function normally well into your eighties." John's sobering voiced calmed her somewhat. He noted her near emotional reaction; it disturbed him. "Go on, Loeb."
"She'd conceived about five years prior to her sleeping. She had the child, a girl, and placed her in a home. She then tracked the girl for nearly twenty years, while she slept. There are some gaps in the tracking, but she resumed again after another twenty years. Her latest search ended when the girl would have been roughly sixty years of age."
Josie sat listening, biting her bottom lip in concentration. "Who is this girl then?"
