 From Hell with Love A Demon Trappers® Short Story PART FOUR The fiend came to a halt on one of the wide grass strips between the runways, its smirk even wider. The same taunting laughter came Riley’s way now.
As she and her apprentices lined up against the threat, her mind whirled with questions. Who had the kind of power to cloak those Threes and help a Four enthrall all those people? An ArchFiend? Maybe, but even that was a stretch. Fallen angel? That was a possibility.  From Hell with Love A Demon Trappers® Short Story PART THREE The demon delicately flipped another page with a frosted pink nail, then looked up at them with cunning eyes. “Blackthorne’s daughter, come join us! We’re almost to the part you love the most.”
 From Hell with Love A Demon Trappers® Short Story PART TWO Since the concourse was still open, at least for the moment, Riley knew there was no way they’d get through the screening process with the stuff in their trapping bags. The X-ray machine would absolutely freak out over the steel pipes and Holy Water spheres so she headed for the closest TSA agent. Holding up her trapper’s license, she smiled to break the ice—because every now and then that tactic actually worked.
 From Hell with Love A Demon Trappers® Short Story PART ONE Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport
Atlanta, Georgia May 2019 It’d been a day from Hell. Literally.  Or . . . where are the ebooks for Books 1-4 in the U.S.?
What happened is actually good news, so read on.  I'm currently listening to my spouse try to understand the repairman who is here to fix our boiler (it supplies hot water to our radiant heaters). It's a flurry of Portuguese, the majority of it I don't get, and bless him, the repair guy is being quite patient. My husband is hanging in there, but it's not easy. Which is pretty much a metaphor for this last year.
 One of the curious side benefits of spending so much time at home is trying new recipes. I thought I'd discuss my new obsession with curry. (photo courtesy of Minimalist Baker)
 Who knew history could be fun?
Back in the day when I was at that University of Iowa my minor was history. I was fascinated with the Tudor period (think War of the Roses, Henry VIII and his numerous wives, as well as Queen Elizabeth I.) Court intrigue! Illicit romances! Religious turmoil! You name it, the Tudors were doing it long before Game of Thrones came along. As I watched this video I knew I had to share it with you. This is how the people in the Tudor era celebrated the Twelve Nights of Christmas, both rich and poor. It’s amusing, informative, and makes me very glad I live today and not in 1509. Also, Dr. Lucy Worsley is a KICK! The photo above is from the BBC's webpage on this one-hour series. Here is the video: https://youtu.be/rDREWMdU8Rg Have a Very Merry Christmas!  Image courtesy of www.IlonaAndrews.com One of the key elements of the Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series has been the wide-open environment that allowed for a myriad plotlines. What does this have to do with the Demon Trappers? A lot, since the Andrews' series was one of the catalysts for my own. Read on to find out what's up.
Not everything I write makes it into the final book. This scene was originally in VALIANT LIGHT but was cut due to pacing. I thought you might like to see Riley and her apprentices on a trapping run at Beck’s favorite bar. |
