On the other hand, I can't write anything without some romance in it either, but I do like to have plenty of action and adventure. The great thing about fantasy and SF is you can just let your imagination run riot, as long as you do the research of course, and that's exciting in itself.<br />Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-55022211017219843722014-09-19T20:00:38.855-03:002014-09-19T20:00:38.855-03:00Great excerpt!!!

He recognized the lean, arrogant stride of his older brother and turned to face the ocean again. With a slow breath he gathered his calm, allowing the swell of the tide to assuage his nerves before he confronted David. By the time his brother had reached him, Matthew had found his focus. <br />“I’ve got better things to do than be hauled from station to station at your whim, Matt.”<br />“Such as torturing women to death, I imagine,” he said, feeling his anger flare again. <br />David rammed his hands into his pockets and had the grace to look abashed. Matt glanced at him, noted the navy-blue suit and tie, and prayed the humidity was taking its toll on the man. There was a gleam of sweat around David’s pampered features and moisture stained the collar of his shirt. <br />Satisfied, Matthew turned away. <br />“They volunteered for it,” David said. “I’m on the verge of a breakthrough, Matt. Two, three more months and I could …”<br />“Start another apocalyptic epidemic.” Matthew didn’t bother reigning in his temper. The excited gleam in his brother’s eye was too much. “Just how stupid do you think I am? Did you think I couldn’t connect the dots here? You ask me for a private lab, I give you one. You ask me for funding, I cover half your expenses. But the minute I ask you for a report on what you’re doing out there, what do you give me?” He didn’t wait for his brother to respond; “A three year old carbon copy of an experiment you ran for the Delta Company on fish excrement.”<br />Jean Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00154134292139074325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-429882379712150132014-09-19T16:46:18.729-03:002014-09-19T16:46:18.729-03:00... oh dear.
