But just to ease some of the anticipation, I have decided to
release a little teaser to all the fans as a sneak peek of what’s to come in
this giant novel. Fair Feathered is a beast. Even bigger than Broken Wings.
Although I’m sure my editor will size it down so it’s reasonable but this one has so many plot twists and turns
and SO many details that I am grateful to have an editor that tells me to cut
back on some scenes. Maybe one day I’ll release the deleted scenes from the
books because there has been many deleted scenes.
I also plan on doing a cover reveal of Fair Feathered soon
so stay tuned! My cover designer, you all know her as the wonderful most
amazing Adrienne, is hard at work designing this cover and what little I have
seen of it so far, I am so proud of this one. This cover is going to be
AWESOME!! But then again, all the cover’s that she makes are freaking awesome
so I can never complain. I can’t wait to let you all see it!!
I’m sure that after reading this whole blog you’re sitting
there thinking: ‘excuse me, can we just get to the teaser now?’ and to that
question I answer yes! After sifting through pages and pages of what scene I wanted
to release, I settled on this one. It has a little bit of Gregory, a little bit
of Damon, and of course, drama. Enjoy!
“She chose me.” Gregory stared down Chris as I tried to push them
apart. I was going to need a two-ton tractor to get them to back away from each
other. Ever since Gregory had ‘returned from the dead’ Chris had a hard time
believing anything I said. He took it as I ‘wasn’t ready to be more than
friends with him’ and that’s why I lied about Gregory. Um, no. Chris and I were
never going to be anything more than friends but he still hadn’t seemed to
understand that.
“Oh so it was a
competition?” Chris sneered and I tried to get him to move away. “Last I
checked you were six feet under but you just magically returned from the dead?
Livy just wasn’t ready to choose me yet after you smashed her heart to bits.”
Chris narrowed his eyes. “Did you make her lie about your death too? To get
pity?”
I put my hands on
Gregory’s chest and he responded by taking a step back. “I’m not a prize either
of you can win! I make my own decisions so don’t fight over it.” Boys were so
frustrating.
“Oh I love a good
brawl,” Damon laughed as he approached our trio with his typical smirk on his
face and his lazy walk. He tossed a green apple in the air and caught it in his
palm before taking a huge bite out of it. Damon’s timing was less than
welcoming.
“Damon, stay out
of this.” Gregory threw a darting glance over at his cousin.
“Both you and
Chris need to stop or I will pick
Damon. At least he’s neutral!” I walked over to stand beside him and he put an
arm around me.
“See? The bad boy
always wins. Sorry losers.” He was smug and took another bite of his apple. I
gave him a reprimanding look and he blew me an air kiss. “Love you babe.” He
winked and I let out a long huff and rolled my eyes. Chris had his fists
clenched and I swore I could hear him grinding his teeth together. Gregory was
taking deep breaths for I knew he was angry with Chris and now probably beyond
irritated with his smart ass cousin.
I sighed and
folded my arms across my chest. “Look, just stop fighting okay?”
“Livy,” Chris
snapped at me and all eyes flew to him. “You’re honestly going to sit here and
debate about this when clearly there’s nothing he can give you and I can?”
“This isn’t for
you to decide. I love Gregory and that’s not going to change.” I didn’t want my
words to sound so harsh but I knew that in his mind they would. It didn’t
matter how I said them, they would still hurt Chris.
“You’re lying to
yourself. You don’t know what you want.” Chris sneered at me and I could feel
Damon’s arm around me tense up. My anger was beginning to flare. “Damon lied to
you about Gregory being freaking dead and Gregory left you and created this lie
for Damon…why do you trust any of them?”
Oh how wrong he
was about everything! He didn’t know anything! “Chris! That is not true! You
don’t even-”
“Then what is
true Livy?” He shoved his hands into his pockets and threw Gregory one more
glance of hatred. I can’t believe they used to be friends.
“Shut
up Chris.” I knew my words were like ice but even I was becoming frustrated
because Chris was just adding fuel to Gregory’s internal fires he battled constantly.
“Fine. Keep lying to me and everyone else. Your lies will catch up to you one of these days.” His words were cold nd it was like they formed icicles and were piercing my heart. Turning his back to us, Chris stalked off in a hurry; never once looking back. I knew I had just lost my friend.
