Tag, I’m it.
Steven Montano hit me up to be part of this Lucky 7 meme. In Steven’s words, here’s how it works:
- Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript
- Go to line 7
- Copy down the next seven lines/sentences exactly as they are
- Tag 7 other authors
Doesn’t sound like too much work, so I think I have the time to indulge. I’m currently working on books three and four of my Khirro’s Journey heroic fantasy, so let’s see what’s happening on page 7 of book three. Oh, yes. Khirro and his magician companion, Athryn, have just narrowly escaped death at the hands of a ferocious giant.
“Get dressed. Better to use sunlight for travel than sentiment,” Khirro said slapping the magician’s shoulder as he rose.
Athryn stood and brushed sand from his shirt as Khirro went to the giant lying motionless at the forest’s edge. He approached cautiously, but the giant stared skyward, its eyes glassy and sightless; it didn’t move when he prodded its ribs with his toe. Satisfied, Khirro grasped the Mourning Sword and removed it from the giant’s back. A gout of blood followed it, the powdery sand absorbing it like a starving animal. The blade glowed and pulsed as the blood clinging to its steel disappeared, sucked into the runes twisted along its length.
Now I pass the baton to seven others? Hmm…who likes to play? How about:

My name is Bruce. As far as I know, I'm not named after anyone in particular, but I quite often point out that the last king of Scotland was Robert the Bruce, though I'm not sure how he rates a "the " in his name and I don't (perhaps "Bruce the Blake" doesn't have quite the same ring to it). I'm divorced and trying to find my way through dating in my forties, and somehow managed to father two amazing children.
Born in Nova Scotia, the son of a military man, my family moved around a lot when I was a kid, with three stints in Nova Scotia, as well as P.E.I. and B.C. before getting stuck in Ontario (no offence to anyone who lives there, but I've become one of those stuck up British Columbians you all hate who thinks if you don't live in B.C., there must be mental illness in your family).
Officially, I work as a sales manager at a new car dealership in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, but don't let my vocation colour your opinion of me (or the way I spell colour, labour and the like, for that matter). In reality, I am a writer struggling to get published in a way that will earn me an income (for my stories that are published and don't make me any money, you can go to "All the Books" and find links). They say it takes three things to become a successful author: skill, time and persistence. Number three, I've got; number one you can read my stories and decide for yourself; that sucker in the middle always seems so difficult to find.

Nice teasers to your novels, Bruce!
Okay, I’m game. Once I get home and get access to my writing, I’ll post at Nomads. Should be fun! 🙂
“I am the best insight into how Simon thinks because he thought the same way as Luthian. Simon made the things happen, Luthian was the one that set up the ideas and dished out the orders to carry them out. That’s why Simon has the ability to do what he has done, with one distinct advantage over my brother, one he never shared with anyone. The ability to tear rifts into different worlds. Simon was planning this all along. He knew eventually we would beat Luthian and it didn’t matter if it took us ten thousand years longer than it already had. Simon was patent. How much history was diverted from these worlds because of the very secrets we believed were for everyone’s benefit. How different could this place have been if we had chosen differently.”
