Excerpt

They were laying on the wings of a giant blue butterfly. He was on the left one, she was on the right. Floating in mid-air was smooth and graceful. He was surprised when they first saw the butterfly on a huge sunflower, but that was nothing compared to when it asked Velvet if she wanted a ride, which she said she’d never done before.

What Is He Wearing?

Saunders wishes he had a simple choice to make, like which t-shirt to wear. When I was writing Saunders’ Choice and getting to know his character, I asked myself what clothes this lost soul would wear (once he is able to manifest and not be dressed by Velvet). These t-shirts fit his style and depict key moments in his story.

What do you think? Do you recognize which scenes I’m thinking of?

Excerpt

Her hand felt solid in his. Holding hands. On their way to a comedy show. Is this a date?

Saunders didn’t want to spoil the experience, but he had to ask – “Why do we need to hold hands? Is it to anchor me here?”

The question flustered her. He could tell by the way she froze where they were and wrinkled her brow. “I – I don’t like how much I don’t know. I used to think I was a knowledgeable creature, but your questions have been stumping me. Why would you need to be anchored?”

That wasn’t what I asked. Why doesn’t she answer the question? He waited, watching her.

They hadn’t moved far from the ship graveyard. The water was warm around him. The bottom of the ocean would be cold if it wasn’t a dream. And he’d be dead. Maybe this was the afterlife.

Holding hands in the silence started to feel awkward. She must have agreed because she released his hand.

“I guess we could swim to the club together like this.” She clasped her hands together and held them at her bare midriff. Her bottom lip trembled.

Excerpt #3

Velvet treated Cassidy to the joke that received the most laughs; “So the big night is finally here.  You know the one I mean, ladies,” Velvet comically winked at Cassidy, “all the signs are there.”  Velvet theatrically swung her left arm in front of her, pointing the index finger up.  “One, he brought you over to his mother’s house for dinner.  Two,” Velvet swung her arm around and brought her middle finger up to join the index finger, “he used the word future in a sentence.”  Velvet paused for those crucial seconds to let Cassidy laugh and then started the next part of the joke.  “And three, he said he’s taking you somewhere special.  You have to look amazing.  There will be pictures and you will be telling the story for years about how you knew this was the night.  So, what do you do, ladies?”  Velvet paused for one second.  “You decide to try the new trend.”  Her voice turned mocking.  “On the most important night of your life, you mess with what he likes about you.”

Cassidy laughed, then sipped from her bourbon, leaning forward to listen to the rest of the joke.

New Release In Fantasy Romance: Saunders’ Choice By Gina Briganti – Excerpt #2

Excerpt

Continued from excerpt #1

Cassidy looked exactly the way she wanted to look.  As did Velvet.  As did the club she performed in.  It was the perfection of everything in her life that had developed Velvet’s sense of humor to begin with.  She needed a break from the sameness of perfection.

“Cassidy,” she sang back in answer, turning her bubbles into kissing lips that smacked Cassidy on the cheek when they reached her.  They made a smacking sound for the kiss, and then popped, returning to the water.

“They liked you.” Cassidy leaned back in the purple chair, releasing smoky tendrils from her lungs and her cigarette while she spoke.

“They did like me,” Velvet agreed.  “My new set about the dangers of washing and styling your hair in a whirlpool went over well with the females.”

Velvet had to smile at Cassidy’s mimicry of 1950’s television where the characters were in black and white, with cigarette in hand, and an evening cocktail on the table in front of them.  She had styled her hair, and colored it, to match Lucy Ricardo’s ravishing red in the I love Lucy show.  Her tail matched.  She was more modest than Velvet, too, because she wore black shells to cover her breasts.

New Release In Fantasy Romance: Saunders’ Choice By Gina Briganti – Excerpt #1

Excerpt #1

Chapter 1

Laughter followed Velvet as she left the stage in the grotto where she had been hired to perform a private show for the wealthy creatures’s birthday party.

She knew the crowd were eyeing her bare torso, hoping the current would sway her long silver and lilac-tinted hair off of her breasts so they could see if the color of her nipples matched the color of her lilac fin.

She sighed.  Maybe it was time to change.  Raven black hair with a bright, shiny aqua blue tail made her audiences stare, but she did get more jobs that way.  She wanted more shows at the big clubs.

“Velvet.”  Cassidy, her manager, called out to her from where she waited in the luxurious apartment the management called a dressing room.

Cassidy was a mermaid, too.  She was much older than Velvet, who was only one hundred years old.  Cassidy was more than three hundred years old.  No one would know that if it weren’t for the Hall of Records there in The Dreaming because everything stayed the way you wanted it to.
