Image is a book snippet graphic. The background looks like a chalkboard menu with a light wood frame. At the top in a white, modern font reads #FridaySmooch. The snippet is in a white, bold serif font and reads: The menu at the Snarly Yow was a hodgepodge of classic comfort food and Harlan’s favorite foods from his many excursions around the world as a young man. All of it was DELICIOUS. As I scanned the options, one stood out and I dropped the menu with a grin. ©2025 Wild Spirit: Almost Like Magic, book 3

📚💙 Hey, it's #fridaysmooch time! Thanks to @sadirastone.bsky.social for this week's word: DELICIOUS.

I had to go to Wild Spirit to find the word...well, it was in Bad Company once, but I didn't think referencing *that* sandwich was the way to go... IYKYK 🍞🕷️🍞

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. The tip of the silver tube opens, revealing a small, sharp needle. I scramble to my feet, sloshing in through the water and backing away.

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