Weekend Writing Warriors 17 February 2019 (ER, LGBT, PA, RO)


A week had passed since Tobias Walton caught Felice Navidad’s would-be rescuers planning to free the Frost Queen from the clutches of the bloodthirsty, megalomaniac head of Xquenda Industries. Negotiations were at a stalemate. Each day was more hopeless than the last, and Felice was certain that this would be the last day of her very long life if she was not able to replenish her energy. She found an unlikely ally in the unhappy Sonny Walton, who had tried but failed to release Felice from her cell several times. Tobias’ wizard lackeys would not be swayed.
“Queenie, guess what, we’re moving you to nicer quarters.”
Tobias descended the stairs with a guard. They opened the cell door and put magical shackles on Felice’s wrists and ankles and a metal collar around her neck to lead her by a chain.

    1. Indeed, and with Tobias in charge, it's not as if things are likely to improve for anyone else.

  3. What makes me thing that "nicer quarters" doesn't necessarily mean nicer treatment?

  4. The book releases in three days and you have only a tentative title? You must have a high tolerance for uncertainty. I would've chewed my fingernails to the elbow if I faced that sort of pressure!

    1. Eh...I know the publisher.
      Hint: I am the publisher. So it isn't as if I'm going to get any more of a dressing down than me rolling my eyes at myself when I pull a Trent Lane and decide to change the title.
      The original title seemed like it would work better with a forthcoming book in the series rather than this one. :-)

  7. I don't think any "nicer quarters" could really compare with being free, but... it's something. Kinda? Will it give her a chance to replenish her energy?

    1. As far as Tobias is concerned, he believes himself to be wonderfully generous. As far as anyone else's feelings are concerned, he really doesn't care!

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I have ADHD and anxiety and sometimes I need to work myself up to be able to respond to comments. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops. I share your work on the monthly Roost Recommendations posts at ornerybookemporium.blogspot.com so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
Sorry, the Captcha is back and this time it's staying. I was inundated with spam comments when I turned it off. I wish butt rash on all the spammers out there.
