Big Rabbit bounced onto the scene after a violent enemy attacked Emily Swift. Directed by Rabbit to protect the D2D series’ MC, this lovable “cinnamon roll” won over readers immediately & continues to earn fans with each friendly grin. Get to know him from A—Z: writertracybrown.com/blog/charact...

From my work-in-progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, book 3 in the adult dark fantasy Bellerose Witchline series:  

“Kind, protective, resourceful, loyal.” Asmodeus crossed his arms and shrugged. “Lonely, frustrated, yearning for your touch, dreaming of something more.” 

“Stop it.” I hated him. 

“And through everything, the generous witch, who gives her light to a lowly demon in the bowels of the Below, can’t be bothered to toss a crumb to the one man who would give her everything he has.”

#Saturdark Prompt: Flower 😏 Whenever he retrieved a piece of his lunch—a strange mix of fried pickle spears, Buffalo cauliFLOWER nuggets, and coconut beer-battered tempeh—he rolled slightly to his left. WIP: Walking a Fine Witchline, Book 3 #BelleroseWitchline series #darkfantasy #booksky
Today's Saturdark prompt is Dream. This snippet comes from my current work in process, Walking a Fine Witchline, book three in the Bellerose Witchline adult dark fantasy series by T.L. Brown. 

He’d stretched out his legs to keep his Doc Martens off the blanket and leaned back on his hands. Whenever he retrieved a piece of his lunch—a strange mix of fried pickle spears, Buffalo cauliflower nuggets, and coconut beer-battered tempeh—he rolled slightly to his left. Sometimes he winced when he moved, and I wondered if the position bothered his hips. He’d never admit it.

From my work-in-progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, book 3 in the adult dark fantasy Bellerose Witchline series: 

He leaned in abruptly—so close his breath puffed out across my lips as he spoke. “You don’t fucking know. And if I tell you what I wish for every second we’re together, and it still doesn’t make a difference…” Rabbit’s eyes shone like polished black obsidian.

I ♥️ the Taste of Faerie Series by @rosejfairchild.bsky.social - it explores so many themes and relationships: self-love/loathing, appearances/true selves, courage/frailty, sex/love, power/abuse of power, found family.

#WIPSnips word for today: Ego. Since the word doesn't appear in my WIP, I'm vibing it with Mr. Ego himself, Templeton. “I could keep you here, Lucie. It would be for your own good. There’s nothing you could do.” -WIP: Walking a Fine Witchline #FantasyBooksSky #BookSky #BelleroseWitchline #witches
From my work-in-progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, book 3 in the adult dark fantasy Bellerose Witchline series: 

He cut me off. “I could keep you here, Lucie. It would be for your own good. There’s nothing you could do.”

“Are you kidding me?” My voice rose a notch.

“I protect what I possess.” 

I dropped my head back and stared at the ceiling while I counted to 10. When the urge to scream subsided, I made eye contact again. “I’m not a possession, Templeton.”

#FridayKiss: Middle (I should probably mention that in my series, all Rabbits are named...Rabbit. 😉) Why would he bother to trust a ‘lowly’ Rabbit to relay a message that you might be walking into the middle of an epidemic? -WIP: Walking a Fine Witchline #FantasyBooksSky #BookSky #IndieAuthor
From my work in progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, by T.L Brown: 

“...F*cking witch secrets.”

I raised a hand. “Still a witch, still sitting here, still can hear you.” 

Rabbit finally gave me his full attention. “This isn’t funny. We don’t know how serious this is. Loren could’ve filled in my guy when he was standing on his doorstep, but no. He didn’t even mention it. Why would he bother to trust a ‘lowly’ Rabbit to relay a message that you might be walking into the middle of an epidemic?”

I'm late! 🤪 Anyhow, #Saturdark Prompt: Lost The thick scar running along his jaw was whiter than his pale skin. It was a brutal reminder of what he’d done for me and of what he’d lost. From WIP: Walking a Fine Witchline (Book 3, #BelleroseWitchline) #indieauthor #darkfantasysky #booksky
This Saturdark prompt is Lost. This snippet comes from my current work in progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, book three in the Bellerose Witchline adult dark fantasy series by T.L. Brown. 

I watched him take a long pull from his water bottle, his black curls slipping away from his face as his head tipped back. The thick scar running along his jaw was whiter than his pale skin. It was a brutal reminder of what he’d done for me and of what he’d lost. 

Rabbit’s attention slid back to me, his brows dipping in a frown as he lowered the bottle. “What?”

#FridayKiss theme: Tall I could sense—and somewhat make out the shapes—of tall structures towering over me to my right and left. -WIP: Walking a Fine Witchline #FantasyBooksSky #BookSky #IndieAuthor #BelleroseWitchline
From my work in progress, Walking a Fine Witchline, by T.L Brown: Gingerly, I rolled over onto my back and peered up into the pitch-black darkness overhead. A quick inventory of my body proved I was not in any pain, for which I was grateful. I could sense—and somewhat make out the shapes—of tall structures towering over me to my right and left. My fingertips skimmed the hard surface of the floor, and my ears rang in the silence as I struggled to determine if I was alone. As I strained to listen, I could hear my heartbeat grow louder.
