Excerpt: First Time's A Charm (Grimalkin Academy: Kittens #1)

Image
Picking a teaser scene from the complete Grimalkin Academy: Kittens series is hard - which is best? A best friend scene, a romance scene, a kitten scene? There are just too many to choose from! I ended up picking a romance-kitten scene (which sounds wrong, but it isn't, promise!) ~~~~ Copyright 2019 Laura Greenwood ~~~~ A knock sounds at the door, drawing me out of my little kitten loving haze. I don't know what it is about them, but I'm captivated. At this rate, I'm going to start thinking I somehow imbued them with a love potion. "Coming," I shout, wondering who it can be. Daphne would just have walked in. She has no respect for personal space, something I definitely expect from having a best friend. I pull the door open and blink a couple of times. "Can I come in?" Caspian asks, his voice rasping through me and making my heart do a weird somersault. "Erm, sure. How did you get into the flat?" As far as I know, the front door has a lock o...

Teaser: Accidental Cupid (A Supernatural Retrieval Agency Standalone)

Image
If you enjoyed Pippa (the cupid from the Supernatural Retrieval Agency series), then you might be glad to know she'll be back next month in Accidental Cupid! **** Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood **** I check myself in the mirror, looking at every angle to check my costume. I look great, there's no denying it, but I worry that it doesn't do anything to cover the fact I'm a cupid or a police officer. Neither of those are good things to be at a party, for completely different reasons. The door opens and Harper pops back into the room, her white lace dress streaked with fake blood and even a couple of handprints. "Will you pass me the veil?" she asks. I nod and pick it up, noticing it's been given the same treatment. "I have some ground rules for the party," I say as she plumps up her hair and puts the veil in place. "Hmm?" "I don't set people up. I don't give dating advice, I..." "Pip, you do realise it's an engag...

Excerpt: Feathers Of Fate (Once Upon An Academy #6)

Helena's story has been a lot of fun to work on, especially as she and her love interest have known and loved each other for a long time already (but haven't seen each other very often. One of the fun things about writing romance is discovering the different paths characters take to love! Read on for a teaser! *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood *** Two years ago... No one is paying any attention to me and Wilhelm. The celebrations for the start of a new year are well underway. My parents are busy doing their part as the monarchs hosting the party, and Wilhelm's mother is spending all of her time with a duchess she's friends with. Which is fine by me. Anything that means I get to spend some actual time with Wilhelm. "Do you want to go outside?" he asks. "I swiped us this." He lifts up a bottle of wine. I raise an eyebrow. "You could have just asked one of the servants for it," I point out. "Where's the fun in that?" A lopsided ...

Excerpt: The Almost Queen (Fate Of The Crown #1)

Image
Have you checked out my complete Arthurian retelling duology? Writing about Arthur, Gwen, and Lancelot was so much fun! Read on for a teaser - there's no waiting, the series is complete! *** Copyright 2020 Laura Greenwood *** "His Highness, Prince Arthur Pendragon, and the Lady Guinevere Olwen," he calls. I plaster a smile over my face, hoping it looks as serene and composed as I think it does. I don't have to do this, I'm here with Arthur and we'll have a good time regardless of the lack of romantic feelings I have for him. But sometimes, I like to practice the things I may have to do if I become his Queen. Smiling politely ranks right up there as the kind of activity expected of me. Students crowd in every available space, at least the ones not being used for dancing anyway, with a notable queue around what I assume is the drinks table. Someone waves in our direction. "Ah, Galahad must want me. I'll be back in a moment." Arthur disappears befor...

Excerpt: Apprentice Of The Dead (The Apprentice Of Anubis #1)

Image
Searching for an excerpt from Apprentice Of The Dead was a lot of fun - especially when it showed me how far Ani and Nik have actually come, not just in their journey as apprentices, but also how they've grown as characters. Their dynamic is so fun to write!  *** Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood  *** I rub my arm across my eyes, trying to rid myself of the vague sting there. It's been a long day after a whole host of other long days and if it were up to me, I would be heading straight home to rest. But with the hecticness throughout the temple, I know that isn't possible and it's down to the ten of us to clear down after a day full of embalming. I pick up a stray trocar, and having no idea whether or not it's been used, drop it into the nearest sharps bin. Ibi will be along in a few minutes to pick it up and take the contents to be sterilised. "Ani, have you got a minute?" Nik asks softly, still taking me by surprise and making me jump. "Sorry," he...

Teaser: Potion Making For Disastrous Witches (Obscure Academy)

Image
How about another teaser from my book in the Midnight Magic multi-author boxed set , Potion Making For Disastrous Witches? This book is going to be so much fun! Especially as it combines two of my favourite things to write - paranormal romance and academy settings (all the characters are over 18) *** Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood, unedited & subject to change. *** "Please tell me you have a hangover cure you can whip up?" Essie asks, rubbing her temples. I groan and pull the covers away from my face. "No such luck. Did you forget that I'm a terrible witch?" "You can't be that bad," she whines, flopping down on my bed. "If I try to make a hangover cure for us, I'll blow up the kitchen and then we'll have an even bigger problem on our hands than having drunk too much last night." "Then we need to remember not to do tequila shots in the future," she mutters. "I try, but it's like my common sense goes flying ou...

There's a familiar face for those of you who have read all of mine and Ari's co-writes! Read on to find out who (very minor spoilers but let's just say I've been dying for these two characters to meet since we started Amy's series!) *** 2021 Copyright Arizona Tape & Laura Greenwood *** "Oh good, you're back," Topaz says. "The liaison is waiting for you in conference room six. Dark hair, looks like a typical vampire, late-twenties, well-spoken," she summarises. "What does a typical vampire look like?" I ask her. She shrugs. "You'll see. There's no other way to describe it." I'll admit to being a little intrigued, and also intimidated. Just who are we supposed to be meeting? We make our way to the conference room and enter to find Dean talking to a slender woman with a pale complexion, a dark braid, and a black lacy dress that looks both modern and Victorian at the same time. Topaz is not wrong. The look real...

Excerpt: Novice Of The Afterlife (The Apprentice Of Anubis #3)

Image
Read on for a teaser from Novice Of The Afterlife (with caution if you haven't read Initiate Of The Jackal yet! There are minor spoilers). Nik and Ani's relationships is one of my favourite parts of this series - which is kind of unexpected, because I thought I'd love the world building the most! *** Copyright 2022 Laura Greenwood *** "Did you know about this?" I ask Nik as we follow the others up the stairs. I'm reasonably sure I know the answer, but it's always good to give him a chance to confirm it. He shakes his head. "Though Father did mention that there's been an increase in traditional mummification requests." "Can the temple cope with them?" "I think so. They've been waning in popularity until now if he's to be believed." I nod. It makes sense. It's more expensive than modern mummification, and also more time-consuming. If the family want to say goodbye in a cost-effective and timely manner, then the m...

Excerpt: Shadow Oracle (Scythe Grove Academy #3)

Image
Not all ghosts can have good unfinished business, right?  Read on for a teaser from book 3 of the complete Scythe Grove Academy series (no spoilers, unless the fact the girl with a scythe on the covers being a reaper isn't obvious!) *** Copyright 2021 Laura Greenwood *** “The ghost would like to introduce himself to you,” I say to Mathias. “I’m a translator.” I keep my voice as flat as possible. While Mathias isn’t able to understand me or the ghost when we talk to one another, the ghost is perfectly capable of understanding us when we talked in English. Thankfully, Mathias seems to understand the predicament. “Hello, I’m Mathias. What’s your name?” he asks the ghost, barely looking at me. I don’t bother translating. I only need to let Mathias know what the ghost says. “Cain.” “He says his name is Cain,” I translate. “It’s nice to meet you, Cain,” Mathias says. “We’re here to help you move on to the other world, starting with any unfinished business you might have here. Do you know...
