Witch’s Nocturne Excerpt :
My
fingers tapped out an excited, tuneless rhythm on the steering wheel as I drove
Beauty, my licorice black 4x4 truck, across town. Maybe the sudden change in
the weather and the influx of warm, November sunshine brightened the gorgeous
day and my spirits in equal measure. Or maybe, God help me, I was happy to be
on my way to see Marshal again. Regardless, I couldn’t recall the last time a
day held so much hope, like I’d been given a cheat code for infinite possibilities.
“How’s
life?” Marshal asked, foisting himself into the cab of the truck.
He
placed a brown, leather satchel between his feet on the floorboard. Marshal
stared at me over the top of a pair of oversized, mirrored sunglasses. Combined
with the plaid shorts, flip-flops and pink polo shirt with a crocodile on it,
he appeared to be beach ready. Or headed to a photo shoot for a store I
wouldn’t be caught dead in.
“Fast.”
I grinned and revved the engine.
He gave
me a worried look, rushing to buckle his seatbelt. “You can’t afford another
ticket.”
“Relax,
Mr. Public Safety. I was kidding. Mostly. Where we headed?”
He
patted the saddlebag between his legs. “I’ve gone through everything in here
fifty times and have more questions than when I started. I wanted to go to the
college library, try to learn more about your grandfather’s tribe. Find some
language books.”
“So, we
go to the library and learn about the tribe and the journal. Shouldn’t be too
hard. Texas is chock full of Native American history. I imagine there’ll be
lots of stuff on the Apache at a big university.”
Marshal
shook his head, his spiky blond hair staying perfectly still.
“It
won’t be that easy. Apache was a catchall term given to several tribes. They
were nomads. Historians had a devil of a time trying to keep track of any one
group—not to mention they weren’t exactly friendly to outsiders. The name
Apache was given to most of the warring, wandering tribes in the area.”
“Knew my
cuddly personality couldn’t be all my own doing. How’ll we know which specific
tribe Gramps belonged to?”
I turned
onto the state highway that would lead us to Lubbock. It’d take us about an
hour to get there, assuming there was no traffic. By traffic I meant some old
farmer taking up both lanes of the highway with his tractor.
Marshal
pulled the journal from the bag and flipped open the front cover. He held the
book up, pointing to the inside corner.
“I think
it’s this.”
The word
Navezgane had been branded into the leather.
“Cool.
Wonder what it means?”
I
started to make a joke about the word hopefully not translating to
Squats-in-Woods or something. One glance at Marshal’s troubled face told me I
was going to like the real name a lot less.
“I
looked it up online. The word means killer
of monsters.”
About Blood Fugue:
“Some folks treated the past like an old friend. The memories warmed them with fondness for what was, and hope for what was to come. Not me. When I thought of long ago, my insides curdled, and I was left feeling sour and wasted.”
Jenny Schmidt is a young woman with old heartaches. A small town Texas girl with big city attitude, she just doesn’t fit in. Not that she has ever tried.
Life has pummeled her heart into one big, lonely callus. She has no siblings, both parents were dead by sixteen, and her last grandparent—and caretaker—was in the ground before she turned twenty-one. She’s the last living member of her immediate family. Or so she thinks…
“We found my ‘grandfather’ sitting at his dining room table. An entire scorched pot of coffee dangled from his shaky hand. His skin was the ashen gray shade of thunderclouds, not the rich mocha from the photo I’d seen. There were dark blue circles under each swollen red eye. A halo of white hair skirted his bald head, a crown of tangles and mats. Corpses had more life in them.”
Suddenly, instead of burying it with the dead, Jenny is forced to confront the past. Armed only with an ancient family journal, her rifle, and an Apache tomahawk, she must save her grandfather’s life and embrace her dangerous heritage. Or be devoured by it.
