Every Sunday I share Six Sentences from one of my books or current WIP
As it’s the height of summer, I thought I’d share an excerpt from my current manuscript where a grouchy vampire is stuck on a tropical island. In this scene, he’s transformed into a bat to trail after the hot man who trespassed on his private beach. He accidentally turns back into a man and falls off the palm tree into the sand at Laiken’s feet.
“Are you okay?”
A dangerously handsome face with a dribble of pink juice down the neck filled my vision. I flailed. There is no better way to describe my limbs wafting about the sand as if I could swim my way to my feet. Sand erupted from my panic, dousing my clothing even more and sending the grains falling down my backside. All it did was dig me deeper into the ground forced to stare in unending embarrassment at the bemused turquoise eyes.
“Hi,” he said and extended a hand.
