Nature girl

~ Meg ~ 59 Comments

Naked by the water
Not caring who sees
Lying in the tall grass
Grass stains on my knees

Dip my fingers in the cool stream
Let the tadpoles tickle my skin
The sun turns the ripples golden
Ribbons for a fairy queen

Nibbles on pink fingernails
Tiny fishes nip and pinch
Squeal in delight, draw hand away
Water splashes skin to drench

Inhale the honeysuckle perfume
Roll onto my back with languid sigh
Drunk on sunshine and summer heat
My eyes are heavy but my heart is light

I let the troubles go with the current
Sent the heartache down the stream
I drip the water, cool my glowing skin
Let it purify me, make me clean

The blurb… feedback appreciated!

Tainted Inheritance, my fourth book, is nearly ready for publication. If you are interested, the first 4 chapters are available here. As you might have read yesterday, I’ve been working on the blurb/synopsis and designing the cover. While I rather enjoy cover design, writing the blurb is my least favorite thing about the whole process. As per Phil’s suggestion, it might help to have some feedback from other writers and readers. So…

Here it is! The bane of my existence. After tossing the ideas back and forth with Kevin over the last couple of days. I finally “settled” on this one. Now tell me, honestly, would you read a book based on this blurb?

Why would anyone want to kill Olivia Sutton? Her life was finally coming together after her divorce. She’s come into an unexpected inheritance, found new love with contractor Leo Donovan and made a fresh start in a new home. When she becomes the victim of one too many random accidents, she realizes a killer is stalking her. Has something in her past come back to haunt her? And can she and Leo discover the killer’s secret before it’s too late?

What do you think?

Refuge

~ Meg ~ 47 Comments

The lady fled on gallant steed
Escaped the castle and its keep

To the river, forged the shallows
Ran the horse, through fields now fallow

Fearing the worst, she rode all night
Slept in saddle during the flight

The craggy mountains gave no shelter
The burning sun by day did swelter

Pursued by hounds, as though from hell
They caught her scent, upon her fell

If it were not for her brave warrior
They’d have sampled the lady’s flavor

But to Highland refuge she was spirited
The clan’s protection she had merited

As her distant cousin, she had sought
A haven from her future lot

Forced to marry for a treaty sworn
The lady’s fate was foreordained

But to her lover’s arms, she ran
He, the noble chief of the clan

In swelling womb his babe was carried
And he, the lady swore to marry
