Welcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I’d change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.
If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here’s the link. Chapter 1 #2
Set up: Calli Angelis stole the Hecate’s Stone … well sort of… A man, dressed in ancient Greek attire is blocking the only exit from the museum. Since he’s in the museum after hours, and he couldn’t possibly be a guard, she threatens to call the cops with the hopes he doesn’t want to chat with the police any more than she does.
***********************************************************
He didn’t quite react the way she thought he would. Oh no, he had the audacity to laugh, a deep guttural laugh. “You amuse me human woman,” he told her.
“Human woman?” Okay, this nut-job was off his meds. “Fine, you stay here and this human woman will say good evening. It’s been a long day. I need to head back to my spaceship before E.T. calls home and tells Mom and Dad I’m late.”
***********************************************************
Human woman? Not exactly what you want to hear from a guy blocking your only exit. lol
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at The Gryphon and His Thief.

Blurb:
Some Treasures are Priceless…
A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.
Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate’s Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.
As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.

The last line, loved it. Can’t wait to read more.
Wonder if the Greek has anything to do with Hecate’s stone/
I like it!
Somehow I don’t think she’s going to be in denial about his true nature much longer. Really relishing this story! Excellent excerpt!
He might have surprised her, but she does know how to answer. Too funny!

As usual, the snark-o-meter is pinging. As an aficonado of quality snark, I love reading these snippets. Nice work.
