Bonus Content!

For all (one) of you who read my blog, here is some bonus content just for YOU!

Removed from chapter six:

"So," Gabe said. "What now?"

"I donno." Seraph shrugged.

"You don't know? How can you not know?"

"I was told to get the thing, not what to do with it after. I don't know."

"Have you heard anything else from... you know?"

"Anything from the voice in my head?"

Gabe winced.

"Nope. I would'a mentioned that," Seraph said.

"You know," Gabe fidgeted in his chair. "I'm not really comfortable calling... it the voice in your head."

"O-okay..." Seraph drawled. "I don't really see what we can do about that."

"I think we should name it," Gabe said.

"No."

"Come on."

"I am not naming the voice in my head."

"But talking about the 'voice in your head' sounds crazy."

"And naming it is not a healthy coping mechanism."

"Bob. We should call it Bob."

"No, we shouldn't."

I was going to have them ( and by 'them' I mean Gabe ) settle on either 'Mab' or 'Puck'.

I was thinking about Puck because he was male and I don't want people to try and guess who the voice is, and if they start thinking of the voice as male, that is another red herring in the way. Even though I clearly state that the voice is female in a previous chapter ( I see that a lot of people tend to miss things like that ).

I was thinking about Mab because I was fairly certain that at some point Seraph would try to get Gabe to stop by reminding him that the voice was female, in which case he would pick a female name.

And of course, both are clearly fae names.

In the end I just removed this whole section. *shrug* It's funny, but I don't think it really fits like I wanted it to.

The Quest: Chapter 6

Seraph stared at him. "There are no such things at werewolves."

That's right, there are no such things as werewolves, or vampires, in my books. An urban fantasy with no werewolves or vampires! What will they think of next? The horror!

Heh.

I didn't want to do what has been done, and done better, a million times before me. And worse (I'm looking at you, Twilight).

So, this was a exposition explosion! I will always try to make my talking heads chapters funny, this is my promise as an author.

I haven't gotten to it yet, but rest assured that the fae histories and such things will explained, as I have bastardized them quite a bit.

Lets see, anything else about this chapter? Hmmmm- The different spellings of fae are not a mistake. Mitch Hedburg is a great man who is missed. Cliff-hangers are fun... to write. And Vicodin is the shit.

The Quest: Chapter 5

For those of you who don't know what a skinwalker is- wikipedia is here to save the day! Click here to enlighten yourself.

Now, I know full well that it is unlikely that a native Navajo anything will be spending much of its free time in Maine, but it's my book and I what I say goes. Skinwalkers kick ass, and in this case, Seraph's ass.

This will be the first of many hospital visits by Seraph. I hope she still has insurance.
