The splendiferous Noree Cosper has tagged me to take part in the Lucky 7 Meme.
If you’re unfamiliar with the meme, the rules are:
- Go to page 77 of your current MS
- Go to line 7
- Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating.
- Tag 7 authors
- Let them know
So here are my lines, drawn from my debut novel Lichgates (its sequel, Treason, isn’t in a good enough shape to use it for this). They actually capture the tension of the entire chapter perfectly, so that was pretty kick ass.

“Even if you did wait, Vagabond, he could never join you in the other kingdoms and would be forced to wait while you went on. You are alone in this. Braeden, retire to your guest. All but Richard and the Vagabond must also leave.”
The dismissed council members stood. Braeden nodded to the Queen and left, frustrated, but the hair on his neck stood on end when he passed through the door. He turned in time to see Kara watch him leave, her eyebrows pinched with concern as the door slowly shut in his face.
