Aul-Bac gazed up to the sky. “To set my small feet moving away from the Great Sand Expanse on a perilous journey.” He raised his hands. “Guide me, Sky Snake. Come to me in the smoke!” tinyurl.com/58c4ru7b #booksky #fantasy #ya #novel #fiction #humor #comedy

Blenley displayed his book’s cover, bearing the title World’s Best Grim Creatures of the Night. “I’m reading up on them. Burr-bats. They crave blood and will lay in wait under a bed for weeks just to sink their fangs in a human neck.” surl.lt/hxhpqr #booksky #fantasy #ya #fiction #humor #novel

There’s a strange killing at the Volcano Lounge in my mystery comedy Murder in Murk City: “I don’t care how many suckers you’ve lured into your shady eruption racket, Muggett. Not even the smell of burning magma can cover the stench of this killing.” bit.ly/3MoHq5u #kindle #kindleunlimited #booksky

"It’s the sacred hour when every Moonhead gathers in the very center of the Moonitorium to hear the earthly conduit relay of the Crater Men’s latest utterances. As the official living conduit, I must ritually prepare myself to channel their statements." #mystery #booksky #crime #detective #parody

Margaret Muggett answered the door as if she’d been expecting someone else, like a swinging lounge singer with a weekend reservation in an exclusive Las Vegas penthouse. Her hair was done up in tightly rounded rolls, like a small stack of glamorous brunette baguettes. shorturl.at/2HaZK #booksky

4 out of 5 stars to Other People by Martin Amis. In this virtuoso writing performance, Amis puts the reader in the mind of a young woman recovering from amnesia. Unfortunately, she quickly falls in with a series of shady characters in London. Recommended! #booksky #fiction #novels #amis

Shakespeare’s not the only one who can write good insults: “You moving dirt, you rank stark muck o’ the world, you oven-bats, you things so far from souls, like dogs, you’re out of Providence’s reach, and only fit for hanging” – John Dryden, The Duke of Guise #quotes #booksky #dryden
