Here's my teaser this week:

"As Madrigal had said, the general's fetish for purity was hypocrisy: He himself had been through many resurrections, and his hypocrisy was twofold — not only was he not "pure," he had not been born high-human.

"The Warlord was Hartkind, with a stag's head: creature aspect, as were his wives, and so had been Thiago, originally."

Here's my teaser this week:

"Suddenly she felt someone—most likely the Goodwife, and boy, had she ever underestimated intestinal fortitude of that lady—running for the switches which governed the circuit-breakers in her head.  Goody had seen tendrils of smoke starting to seep out through the cracks in the closed doors of those panels, had understood what they meant, and was making a final, desperate effort to shut down the machinery before the motors overheated and the bearings froze."

Here's my teaser this week:

"Tangs in a variety of colors shot around the reef, anemones flared and larger fish appeared as well, one giant grouper, a curious barracuda that politely kept its distance and, beneath them, a number of little nurse sharks.  Katie, in her light dive skin, hair flaring out around her, eyes large and beautiful behind her mask, made a perfect subject for quick takes with his camera."

Here's my teaser this week:

Lonnie Ray Inman was sitting in a worm leather easy chair listening for noises to shift from upstairs.  He had loaded and unloaded his Colt Python .357 Magnum four times, nervously fumbling its deadly weight as he alternately entertained fantasies of vengeance and prison."

Here's my teaser this week:

Darryl was getting close—too close.  I took the staff in a two-handed grip, like a six-foot baseball bat, and started whirling it over my head."

Here's my teaser this week:

With that the preacher replaced his hat, tugged his lapels to adjust the hang of his jacket, and walked back into the woods, where he vanished so quickly into the shadows that the whole encounter might have been a dream.  Tom and the other stood where they were for a full five minutes, listening first for Preacher Jack's soft footfalls and then to the forest as the ordinary sounds one by one returned."

Here's my teaser this week:

I notice the maps in these memories are slightly outdated; the street they're calling Jewel has been renamed.  The sign is newer, a fresh primary green, and instead of a visual icon it has an actual word painted on it."

Here's my teaser for this week:

What if Dad comes out of his shower and sees the full trash and wants to recycle, and as he's sorting the trash finds brains all over the paper plate?

"So I groan and empty the trash, lugging it out to the curb while looking around to see if maybe the neighbors can somehow see through the can and spot the brain crumbs drying as me speak."

Here's my teaser for this week:

The monstrumologist returned to the reason for our visit. He found philosophical discussions like this distasteful—not precisely beneath him, but useless in the sense that the unanswerable was a waste of his time."

I have to admit that this teaser is not random and longer than two sentences . . . I loved this quote too much not to share.  So, with that, here's mine:

You know that move every girl lead makes in kung fu or horror movies?  The one where she is wearing head-to-toe black leather and she has a kicky haircut and she crouches down on one knee with her opposite foot sort of laid out and then she slices and dices . . . While looking super doable?

"Well, Kate Beckinsales and urban fantasy heroines of the world lied to us.  This does not work."

Here's mine:

"Signums are extraordinarily painful. we are taught to meditate into a trancelike state, but nothing keeps the bite of a signumist's from getting through. The sacred gold is heated to a threadlike consistency so it can be stitched into the skin."

Blood Rights by Kristen Painter, 192

"Depressed, I picked up my way through the devastation to get my scrying mirror, breathing shallowly to avoid the dust. Feeling awkward, I sat beside Al, the slight curve of the bench between us."

I nodded. "Yeah. My friend Ostin was with us, but he went back inside to get his jacket."

"I stared at him for a long second, shivering and startled into silence. My mother's name was Margaret."

Death Masks by Jim Butcher, 230

"Echo Van Helsing and Kate Warne spent the rest of the day fruitlessly going down the list supplied by Charles Tiffany, ticking off the possible dealers in gem-quality rubies one by one. They reached the last name, Mr. Solomon Morowitz, just as the sun was setting and the lamplighters with their long poles were beginning to move up both sides of Maiden Lane."

Here's mine:

Bones shot me a look that said my humor was wasted on this subject, handing me a two glasses full of already smoldering safe. Then he took two for himself, leaving the other two lit containers in the car.
