Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"You killed them?" the mobster scoffed, not seeing the gun I hid.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Staring at the corpse of her enemy, she smiled. And wept.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Way to go, ChiKat!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Congratulations, ChiKat! Woot!

Because books.

ChiKat, that's so awesome. A playwright! Very cool.

I'm working up the brain to list the four ideas I have to choose from for a new proposal, but in the meantime, for those of you who've read Cold Kiss, I'm doing some outtakes/new scenes for the blog.

What do you think of the scene where Danny cuts Wren's hair? It's a throwaway line early on, but I think it would make a nice outtake. Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes, I do. Men working with women's hair is always rather intimate, IMO, and could work v. nicely as a snippet.
