Sexy Snippets #7: Revelations

Good morning and Happy Sunday! Yesterday I received an awesome new review of Revelations, so I'm going to post a snippet from that today. You can read the review here. And you can follower the rest of the blog hop here.






Today's snippet is taken from Lucifer's POV (he says it's about time too lol) I hope you enjoy it, and have a great rest of the weekend!

           I don’t believe I’ve properly introduced myself—or the self that my adoring followers have come to know and love. Mr. Lassiter, at your service—founder and leader of the Citizens Opposed to Carnal Knowledge group. Or  C.O.C.K. for short.

            I do find it amusing, does that answer your next question?

            They are so insufferably self-righteous and intolerant—and very easily led. Not an independent mind among them. Makes things much easier for me.

Blurb:  Judas has never been very popular, not in any incarnation that he and Jesus and the others have lived through. But he doesn't care about that. All he cares about is following the instructions of God as set forth in the script that they follow. And Jesus. For Judas has secretly loved the son of God for over two thousand years.

But now he decides that enough is enough, and he's tired of watching Jesus die far too early, and for what? This time Judas is determined to see that Jesus lives a long and happy life, no matter what price he has to pay to accomplish it...no matter if he has to make a deal with the devil himself.

Revelations is a story of what could be, told by those who play it out, time after time after time, unbeknownst to the rest of mankind.  They've come back again, for yet another round.  But this time is going to be different.

Revelations is available from MuseitUp Publishing, as well as Amazon and ARe. 

Until next time, take care!

Sexy Snippets #5: Revelations

Hello and Happy Sunday! Today I'm taking my Sexy Snippet from my novel, Revelations, because of a great review I received yesterday! I hope you enjoy it, and those of you in the US, hope you're having a great holiday weekend! Don't forget to visit the rest of the Sexy Snippets authors here!

Today's excerpt comes from a scene between Judas and Lucifer, as Judas negotiates for what he wants most in the world - to keep Jesus safe and not see him die. Enjoy!

“Well, I know what it is that I want, but let me hear from your own sweet lips what you wish in return.”  He actually moves back, crossing his arms expectantly against his chest as he regards me, waiting for my reply. How can he not know? Apparently he doesn’t know everything. News flash. Or else he’s simply toying with me, which wouldn’t surprise me at all.

            “All right, I’ll spell it out for you. Jesus lives and I die."

Blurb:  Marie Antoinette. Beheaded in the prime of her life. What if her fate was changed? What if she escaped that night the castle was stormed? What if she was mistaken for a common woman? What if she found herself aboard a convict ship bound for Australia? What if she had a second chance at life and love? 

Excerpt:  Fear slid its icy fingers up her breastbone and took hold of her heart. How long would a mere dozen guards hold the unruly mob outside before they were overpowered? “Has my brother in Austria not sent word of his protection yet?” Marie held up her arms so Adele could slip the nightdress over her head.

    "No, Your Highness. I fear the missive you sent him was waylaid or deliberately not delivered.”

    There is no help coming. What am I to do? It has been whispered all about the palace for weeks the commoners are calling for our heads. Her hands trembled with distress. Is there no hope? I do not want to die. I have many years left to live. Desperate tears trickled down her cheeks. Oh why did my father give my hand to the French heir to the throne those many years ago? I gave up my home in Austria, my precious pet dog, my family and friends to forge a bond between my country and the prince's. It has all been for naught thanks to my husband, now the King of France for only a few short years since his father's passing. Wastrel. Simple minded wastrel.

    Anger hardened her emotions and she swiped away the tears. It is not fair. I could have ruled better, however even the Queen of France has less authority than a common woman. Damn my husband. Her hand came to rest upon her still flat belly. Will the commoners really behead me when I am with child? Would they be so cruel and heartless to kill an unborn innocent babe?
