This book has wrapped. The end. Now to get proofing. 
I’d won independence from my past. Severed the only tie I’d ever wanted, to the only male I’d ever loved. I curled tight, rocked against the frigid planks. I couldn’t move. Minutes passed. I counted them by the frantic thump in my ears. Strange how steady my heart beat long after it was broken.

Here we go again… 
Five years, I dealt with his death every morning while my mind teetered on the brink of waking or never waking. Every night when I cried until breath left my lungs and my soul wept for him.
God, I never would have… So many things I wouldn’t have done, had I known.
Shame glazed my skin with a thin sheen of sweat. I’d failed this beautiful creature.

I’m over the halfway hump! Wheeeeeee! (Sorry, I’m excited. Can you tell?) Here’s more from Evermine, which has spun in my hands and turned into something completely different than anything I would ever have imagined.
I wanted to run my hands through the shaggy length, twine my fingers, tug his scalp and bend him to my lips. Would he taste of dates and cardamom? He had once, when we lived in another realm, in another time. Before the private war raging against his race’s enslavement by mine held him prisoner. Before he ripped my sister and me from our homeland, saved us, brought us here to Earth to live among his people. Act human, look human, and all will be well.

It’s been a big week for me. First time in print, first time signing a book, first time seeing my family really “get it.” Dad asked me to drive him to Michael’s tomorrow. He wants a shadowbox for his copy of Everlong. How cool is that?
Lots of little things happening, but I’m so hopeful I can nail Evermine. It’s a different book, for sure. There’s an underlying fear on every page, for me, that Harper or Emma will say “goodbye” this time and mean it.
“I found your candles and matches.” He came out wearing a lopsided grin…and no glamour. I licked my lips, swore I already tasted him there. “I thought we could watch a movie.” He shrugged dark muscles, adjusted his wings. “I’m sure we can find something to do after.”
I’m sure he thought so.

Welcome back! Six Sunday is in full swing after a short holiday break, and I’m glad. I’ve missed snooping in all the WIPs floating around the SSS site, so let’s get right to it. Here’s another Six from Evermine:
Shame churned my gut, but hope was my antacid. Maybe she and Clayton had fought. Maybe she had come home. Maybe she was waiting in her old room, upstairs, across from mine.
“Maddie?” I strained my ears, but heard wind and the promise of thunder.

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.
