Another Tuesday has rolled around, that means its time for another teaser. Last time in the comments, the great majority wanted more Ash, but lots of people were also clamoring for Puck, so I think it's Puck's turn to get a teaser this week.
So, without ado:
The Iron Queen Teaser numeral duos--
“Ah.” Puck’s emerald eyes sparkled with glee. “And so they come crawling back for Puck’s help after all. Tsk tsk.” He shook his head and took another bite of the apple. “How easy it is to forget grudges when someone has something you need.”
Yes, it's short. That's why it's called a teaser. ;-)
Until next week. :)

Sims3: Some Things Don't Change
Disclaimer: Sims3 posts are in no way related to actual events in The Iron Fey series.
...
Now that they're grown, its time for Meghan and co. to make some changes. Meghan got a job this week, going to work at the Science Center.
Rowan, following in his mother's footsteps, went to work for the local crime syndicate.
Ironically, Ash went the opposite direction and got a job in law enforcement.
Some things don't change, though. Ash and Rowan still don't get along.
And Rowan continues to make his brother's life difficult. Here are Ash and Meghan, trying to steal some alone time...
When they're interrupted.
Rowan tries coming onto Meghan, right in front of Ash!
Meghan isn't buying it, however.
And Ash is not amused.
At all.
Finally, Rowan runs off, leaving them in peace.
But he's not done being evil and breaking hearts.
To be continued...

Iron King at the Emmys
So, I just got permission to post this...
The Iron King was at the Emmy's this year!
Or, more specifically, in the gift bags that went out to various VIPs.
How cool is that?!?

Teaser Tuesday: The Iron Queen
Okay, so it's Monday. This is a bit early, but I don't think anyone minds.
The first Iron Queen Teaser Tuesday.
And, by popular request...
...it's about Ash.
ETA:
WARNING! SPOILERS! DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT FINISHED WITH IRON DAUGHTER!
All good? Okay, onto the (SPOILERY!) teaser.
His forehead bumped softly against mine, his brilliant silver gaze searing into me. “I plan to keep you, from everyone, for as long as I’m alive. That includes Puck, the false king, and anyone else who would take you away.” One corner of his mouth quirked, as I struggled to catch my breath under his powerful scrutiny. “I guess I should’ve warned you that I have a slight possessive streak.”
That's the first. Requests for the next one? Let me know!

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
~
Can I just say how much I'm enjoying Kung Fu?
When I first started Wing Tzun, I kinda felt like this:
"There is now a level zero."
BUT, now four months in, I can say with certainty that I don't completely suck. So that's progress. And, maybe in a few years, I can actually get to this:
But that's probably stretching it.

My 8-legged guest
There is a huge wolf spider living outside my back door, between the cracks in the wall. He looks like this.
I tried to gently relocate him to another spot in the yard, but he saw me coming with my broom and fled into a crack.
I know I'm very much in the minority, but I like spiders. I'm not going to invite them into my house or let them crawl on me, but I usually don't try to kill them either. (Exceptions being Brown Recluses and Black Widows. Sorry, but anything that can put me in the hospital needs to be squashed.) Perhaps this came of living in Hawaii for ten years, as the bugs there never die and grow to gigantic proportions. The Hawaiian cane spider makes these little wolf spiders look like wimps. Take your hand, put it flat on the wall, and try to imagine a spider that big crawling along the ceiling. Yeah, I thought so.
But, anyway, let's hear it. Tell me I'm crazy and insane; I won't mind. ;-) What are your thoughts on spiders and creepy crawlies? Me, I think they make awesome creepy atmosphere devices. Need your readers to get goosebumps or the skin crawlies? Just throw in a spider or two. Works every time.
And for the VERY brave of heart, below is a YouTube video of a Hawaiian Cane Spider. BEWARE, this thing is huge and scary, and if spiders freak you out, this will probably give you nightmares--you have been warned.
