Welcome to Snippet Saturday, where authors share pieces of their work or give you a glimpse into our insane or creative process.

Today we’re doing Outtakes. Outtakes are always such fun, because often we are asked to cut things from our books that we might absolutely love. But hey, editors have a reason for asking us to do that. Or we might cut a fun, beautiful, funny, emotional scene from our book because during the editorial stage we’ve made changes to a particular chapter and that scene no longer fits.

I’ve chosen a scene from SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND, the first book in my Demon Hunter series. It’s kind of a gory scene, but also pretty damn funny too. It involves piranhas. No, really. :giggle: And it broke my heart to have to delete it from the book. I’ve always wanted to share this scene with my readers, so now I have the chance to. Some day I’m going to write a book where I can use a piranha scene and keep it.

Hope you enjoy, and be sure to click on the author links after my snippet to see everyone else’s outtakes.
Keep in mind this is an unedited excerpt since it was cut from the book before final editing. So any errors are mine.

Snippet Saturday is a bunch of authors getting together to showcase snippets of our work covering various themes.

Today’s theme is Fight Scenes. Yum. I love fight and action scenes. They really get the adrenaline going, and give an author a chance to show what the characters are made of. I’ve chosen a scene with Gina and Derek from Surviving Demon Island, the first book in my Demon Hunter series.

Today’s snippet is a First Kiss. Those are always so much fun, convey so much about a relationship. I’ve chosen the first kiss between Jessie and Diaz in RIDING TEMPTATION, one of my Wild Riders books from Berkley Heat.

In this scene, Jessie has pushed Diaz to the very limit, and he’s had just about enough. :giggle:

Hope you enjoy! Adult themes in this excerpt, so I’m putting it after the jump.
