S.C. Parris I take a break, do some yoga, catch up on my shows, go for a run, or just get up from the computer. Anything to take my mind away from its fog.

Fantasy and Archives (& Pics of My Cat!)

Y’all know I love me some fantasy. So when a lovely agent wrote an amazing rejection for me a few months ago, urging me to rewrite Sinner Sharpe or submit something new, I took the chance to write something new. ​

The post Fantasy and Archives (& Pics of My Cat!) appeared first on S.C. Parris.

Quotes by S.C. Parris  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I have seen a stunning amount of death and destruction. Creation yes, but more death than birth. Mankind has learned nothing from their forefathers. Their ancestors. It is true what they say: history does repeat itself, Delacroix, and those after history are left to make it, but how can they,” he removed his hand from the globe, waving it thoughtfully through the air, “when it has already been made?”
S.C. Parris, The Dark World

“Tears fled her eyes as she ran, and they slid into her ears, but she did not wipe them, no, she pressed forward through the many trees, keeping her eyes upon the large shadow that flew forward, almost guiding her out of the woods, but that was preposterous – so why am I following it?
What do you mean why are you following it? It’s the only thing that’s putting distance between you and those...monsters back there!
But what about Lord Delacroix?
What the devil about him?
He tried to keep you safe – he truly did attempt to save you—
And what did that get him? Crushed by a damned Lycan – again!
But I should still go back to save him....
I should keep moving!
But he’s saved my life – I can’t let him die!
Technically, he’s already dead, Alexi....
Goddamn it all!
Run – run now – come back when you’re safe!
Come back? With who?!
Help, of course!
Where on Earth am I going to find help?!”
S.C. Parris, The Immortal's Guide

“Alexandria,” he began, the name lingering on the morning air as though it did not belong amongst trees, but instead somewhere much safer, much more enclosed.
“Christian,” she breathed after her name had remained uncomfortably within his ears for a most distressing period of time.
The tears in her eyes had begun to fill quickly and more tears fell as she stared upon him expectantly, and he was quite suddenly aware that a drink of blood would be most desirable to ease the sheer uncomfortable edge he felt with her stare.”
S.C. Parris, The Immortal's Guide
