Spread the word, share the love, warriors. Twitter hashtag #8sunday. Last week I shared from my WIP, The Tree of Life, book 2 in my Illuminati series. We left off at Kirin trying to get her parents to let her accompany her brother Luc to America to find Rio, He managed to get away from them once, in Rio, and then in the rainforests of Brazil he shapeshifted and escaped from her mother. They have found out that he is in Sedona, and Isis wants him captured and sent to the underworld. Kirin has other plans, but doesn't want her mother to know or interfere. Rio thought of his gift as a curse, a curse that her ancestors had caused. He couldn’t know that of course. Could he? “It’s settled then,” her father was saying. “Muhktar’s a great operative,” Luc said. “He just helped return Ornias to where he belonged.” “This scientist is hardly evil, and certainly not a Jinn,” Kirin snapped, before she could stop herself. “And you know this how?” Sekhmet asked, her attention riveted to Kirin’s face and her eyebrows lifted in curious expectation. Kirin clamped her jaws together. She could feel her mother’s stare boring into her, knowing with certainty without even probing her thoughts that Kirin knew more than she would admit. I hope you enjoyed the snippet I posted for Elizabeth today. She has been sick all week and had something called hives because she took some medicine she was allergic to. She scratched more than a doggie without flea medicine, but when I tried to lick the little bumps and make them better she stopped me. They finally went away by themselves, not if only her cold would go away too. She's not nearly as much fun as usual! ;( Please visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors and #snippetsunday authors for more great reads!

Oh, I hope Kirin is able to protect her thoughts and get on that mission.

I think Kirin needs to watch out for her own impulsiveness when it comes to speaking up! Great snippet...

Nice snippet! So sorry you're ill. The same thing happened to my sister. She took a medication that caused her to break out in hives. So miserable! Feel better soon.

Hope you're feeling better. A couple months ago I suffered an allergy to some medicine, and it was torture, so I feel for you.

Have to watch what you say around people like that. They have a way of finding out your secrets...

I really want to say this is going to turn into a cat fight between mother and daughter, but would that be a really bad pun considering what Rio is? LOL. I do hope she manages to outsmart her mother.
