Welcome back everyone to another week of snippets in 8 sentences from authors of all genres. Each week we share a sample of a previous book or upcoming book or sometimes a work in progress. Go here to check it out www.wewriwa.com. This week I’m continuing with the next book in my Warlord series so it’s a work in progress. I’ve managed to avoid getting the blurb done but I’ll have to face the music soon. LOL.
The story is about the best friend of my hero in Honor Bound. Last weeks 8 showed Argan, a warlord who thought he knew exactly what he wanted from life, watching two of his friends who have found love and he’s starting to reevaluate things. My heroine is just what the tough warlord needs.

“Hettle,” she cursed as her feet skipped and slid down the rocky incline, kicking up red dust on the trail.
