For Hump Day Hook I am sharing a snippet from my new release, Wytchfae Runes. The Viking Ingvar is battle weary after a confrontation with the evil sorceress Skada and some of the netherworld’s less pleasant inhabitants. He perks up when faery witch Kelly enters the room.
In one of the bedchambers of the Guardian of the Between, Ingvar hunched over and put his face in his hands. His head pounded as if stomped on by a plundering army. At least sleep had shaken off the shameful weakness he had felt before. Imagine being right in front of Skada—again—and failing to destroy her. Odin’s balls.
Kelly entered bearing a man-sized cup with steam wafting from its center. She offered it to him with upturned lips.
Her dimples made him feel like smiling too.

Thank you! I love Viking historical romances and that movie Alfred the Great where Michael York played Guthrum the Dane.
