It's Book Quote Wednesday! Today's word: JAM. #Excerpt is from THE COMING OF ARABELLA. #Mermaid #Fantasy #bookqw

I flinch as a small Ulthian extends a purple tentacle gripping a silver tube through the haze toward me. Another with an identical tube approaches Gore. I want to knock the tube away or snatch it and jam it into Ranclath’s eyes. I don’t want to be injected with nanites or anything else, harmless or otherwise.

Allison doesn't like needles… #yabooks #fantasybooks #wip #bookqw
