I totally forgot to sign up for Six Sunday this week. As far as updates go, the second Araneae novel is with my crit partners and I’m working on revisions for my August release, Wicked Kin. Since it’s on my mind, I’ll be sharing a snippet from that novel. 🙂
A warped metal arm extended from the wall and sagged beneath the weight of a battered television. A pay-per-view skin flick he’d already seen playing in dozens of seedy hotel rooms like this one flickered across the screen.
He crossed the room and glanced at the nightstand.
Pictures lay spread out like glossy fans across the chipped laminate surface. He looked away for all the good it would do him. Soon he would know the contents of those photographs as well as the man responsible for taking them.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.

You’re soooo good at using details (like the chipped laminate) to bring a scene to life.

Now I need to know what he sees in the pictures. Great title too!
