Soundtrack Movie scores or BGM's (Back Ground Music). Love the works by John Williams and Danny Elfman. Though I own more Japanese TV Anime BGM's than anything else.
Books
Cross-eyed Dragon Troubles
YA Fantasy -
"Harry Potter meet the Dragon Riders of Pern"
Excerpt:Kel slowly shook his head. “It’s all right. Thanks anyway.” His voice lowered to where she almost couldn’t hear it. “This is all part of my punishment.”
Talia frowned, not understanding what he meant. “Punishment?”
Kel cocked his head in Clarence’s direction. In a flash, she understood. None of this was an accident—Clarence had landed there deliberately, hoping to make Kel pay for all he went through in the past month. She shook her head, not wanting to believe this, but what the dragon said next took any doubts right out of her head.
Yes, thank you for your offer, but Kel will be able to deal with this on his own.
She blinked several times as she mentally stumbled for something to say. “I see.”
Willing Sacrifice
YA Fantasy -
"Immovable object meets Irresistible Force"
Excerpt:His utter shock at the fact confused her.
“You were expecting to die? You were going to allow yourself to be killed?”
She possessed no idea what to make of the horrified expression on his face. “Of course. I will do what is necessary, what I was chosen to do.”
“The Eye is not a mark of Death!”
In the Service of Samurai
Adult/YA - Japanese Fantasy Adventure -
"The Last Samurai meets Pirates of the Caribbean"
Excerpt: Laying the blade on the floor before him, Toshi parted his kimono until his stomach lay exposed. He tucked his sleeves beneath his legs to hold him upright if he should falter. Ignoring Asano, he took up the blade. His shoulder flared with pain and he tried not to flinch, as he grabbed the blade with both hands. He turned the wakizashi until its sharp point was aimed at his belly, the residence of his soul.
Vassal of El
Adult/YA - Fantasy Mystery -
"Winged men, murder, a past that comes back to haunt him"
Excerpt: Torren took a step back a sudden shudder racking through him. It was as if he’d never left, as if the boy he’d been would be coming back-though the one who’d loved this room and all these things was long, long dead. That boy died when he’d watched his father’s blood pour forth from his mouth, the end of a sword protruding from his abdomen. That boy died when he survived while everyone else lay dead.
