Six-Sentence Sunday: An Excerpt from CROWN OF ASH

Welcome to Six-Sentence Sunday!

Is it possible you’re tired of excerpts from CROWN OF ASH?  Maybe?  Well, too bad, because it releases on 8/20 — barely over a week from now! [Insert manly "Squee" here.]

Over the course of the novel, Kane, Ronan and Maur are forced to work with some criminals in the employ of a gangster named Klos Vago.  One of those criminals, a witch named Jade, has gotten a bit more under Kane’s skin than he’d like…

Kane turned and saw Jade approach him with a smile on her face.  He didn’t want to trust her.  Her disarming personality was just a way of getting him to lower his guard, and he knew it.  He hated that he found himself liking her, wanting to talk to her.  But he couldn’t take his eyes off her: she was radiant, even in grungy and weather-worn fatigues, even with her long dark hair disheveled and wild-looking, even though he knew her interest in him only extended so far as making sure that Klos Vago got what he wanted.

Get your head together, he told himself.
