Since Blood Red Roulette turned into a misfire (back to the drawing board) I decided to find something else to share. However, it’s a crazy busy weekend so why not something that’s already out there in the wild. And since I’m working on Dad’s computer right now with a version of word so old that it can’t open docx files, I’m rather limited.
Here’s a little something from Soldiers of the Sun, my 1930s demon hunters (menage, more action/adventure than actual romance). Temple has just met his new partner who is related to General Taglioferro, head of this faction of the Soldiers of the Sun (Taglioferro is the he Temple’s referring to).
“He said he was going to castrate me if I touched his niece!” Temple blurted out as his partners nearly doubled over, laughing at him. “I can’t believe that he partnered me with a bird,” he moaned.
“I can’t either. We all know what you’re like. You’re going to look stupid neutered,” Caleb wagged his head.
“He will get fat and doughy. With his coloration he will look like a plump snowman with a bloody head,” Agni said, rubbing his chin.
Blurb Caleb Davies and Agni Pradesh are worried about their teammate and lover, Temple Chevalier. Not only has he lost his long-time partner, Fu Li, but he nearly died fighting a demon himself. Also, Temple isn’t sure he’s ready for a new teammate after Li. Caleb and Agni are even more concerned that their three-way relationship with Temple exists less because he loves them and more because he’s hiding from the pain of Li’s loss.
1932 shapes up to be a terrible year for the Soldiers as they welcome the New Year fighting demons and then end up investigating a case that pairs them up with the Knights Templar. This would normally be a good thing, but it forces Temple to face his painful past. Worse yet, the case leads right to Astaroth, a Prince of Hell, who might prove to be an unbeatable foe.

Thanks. I’m glad you liked it (and hope you like it when you get to it on the TBR pile which is probably as daunting as my own.)

It’s been so long since I’ve seen the word ‘bird’ used this way. It brings back childhood memories of reading old Archie comics. 🙂 Cute banter, too!

Thanks. It took a lot of research trying to get some of the 30s flavored dialogue down.
