I loved "Into Thin Air"... One section I loved was when Christian tells Gawan to make the best of his situation. It is a long section but here is the part I liked best...

you are given, whether that be little or
bountiful. Either way," he said, fading away,
"'tis far more than a ghost shall endeavor
to have."
In light of your upcoming release, "Thirteen Chances", it seems he will be in for a surprise! ;) - Kala
Yay Angie! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAnd love your song choice -- it's my 10 year old's favorite at the moment. Sweet boy.

Oh my, there are so many funny passages in your books, but it seems I can never recall where they are and how I can find them again. However, I loved when Mademoiselle Bedeau frightens off the Stovers in "MacGowan's Ghost":
ReplyDeleteOut of nowhere, Mademoiselle Bedeau's lovely powdered-wig head began tumbling from the far end of the bar, rolled and rolled until it came to a halt directly in front of the Stovers. (...) With a sqeak, Mademoiselle's head turned and faced them both. "Oui, I would say that, indeed, this is the smoothest of mahogany. No need to refinish."
Killigrew and Ramsey are one of my favourites, too. I loved that passage:
"Bloody fools took to a duel-"
"Aye, and over a lass,", said Ramsey.
"I daresay she wasn't worth it," said Killigrew.
They all laughed.
Allie shook her head. "You shot each other?" she asked.
Killigrew grinned. "While I, too, fell to my demise, I've no doubt, miss, that my aim hit its mark first."
"My arse it did," said Ramsey.
So, these are only two of all of the favourite passages I have. But please don't include me in the drawing, because I already have all of your books and my bookshelf is bursting at the seams already.
Hi Cindy: I love the new website - it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love in Spritied Away when the joust. One of my favorites is when Andi comes upon it the first time and not properly dressed and Tristian is the black knight:
"Lucifer's tail, woman!" Tristan jumped from his horse. "What in the bloody fires of hell are you doing out here?" He looked down at her and his eyes sparked a dangerous gleam. They traveled, starting at her feet, and raked slowly upward. "Garbed like that?"
I laugh each time only because I know something like that would happen to me.
Thanks, guys, for the great posts and favorite quotes/passages! :) Ya'll are added to the Blog contest!
ReplyDeleteCindy, you have such a way with words. I thought these lines were so funny, and they made me wonder if you ever feel like this when you are writing.
ReplyDeleteHighland Knight (Amelia) "Anything, she thought, to help her forget she'd lost her mojo.
Writing mojo, that is. Gone, for nearly a year now. Her brain, a useless well of doggie doo doo." LOL :-)
My favorite quotes come from Spirited Away. Andi and Kate are discussing Tristan, and have the following conversation:
ReplyDelete"He's not like other men."
"Nay, you can't say too many modern-day chaps can measure up to that one," Kate said. "Or the whole lot of Dragonhawk's knights, for that matter. So what worries you?"
Andi pushed the hair from her eyes. "You mean other than the fact that he's dead?"
I just loved that exchange. I have one other one, too. So yummy.
"I've waited more than seven centuries for you, Andrea Kinley Monroe." ... He stared, mesmerized by her almost-touch. "Christ, Andrea", he whispered. "I would give anything to taste you."
I about melted into a big puddle of goo over that one.
