Excerpt
If I were the pretty-boy offspring
of a prissy, naïve love-goddess-whore where would I be?
To her left were more businesses: a dental office, nail salon, and a
florist on the end. Her head throbbed with his presence.
She remembered Hermes carrying his basket of roses, not to mention the
golden logo seen around the world representing flower delivery bore a strong
resemblance.
Eureka. Some people never
changed tactics. Predictability will get
you killed, Hermes.
Strife yanked the door open, nearly tearing it from the hinges. Chimes
jangled in protest.
A pair of scissors flew past her head. She heard the loud chunk as they embedded themselves in the
wall.
“Is that so, Strife?” Hermes crouched behind the till. He’d recognized
her as well, now he had her at a disadvantage. “So will barging into a man’s
domain when he knows you’re coming.”
“This ends here.” She pried the blades from the wooden frame with a
tortured squeal. “You’ve interfered with my work long enough.”
“Are you sure that’s wise?” A small paring knife sliced the air, but
Strife dodged before it could strike her left eye. “I am Ares’s son, after
all.”
Strife snorted. She aimed the scissors for Hermes’ face but missed. “He
donated his seed, nothing more. You are a disappointment to him. He won’t
protect you from me.”
“I don’t need protection from you.” Hermes edged backward, and Strife
made ready to strike. “You’re just his whipping-bitch underling, begging at his
feet for scraps and cock. Ares only kept
you because my mother had more respect for herself than to tolerate his abuse.
“
Strife shrieked, vaulting onto the counter in a single leap. She perched
like a gargoyle, hissing her rage as Hermes fled.
She pounced on his back before he could escape.
“I’ll kill you,” Strings of spittle flew from Strife’s mouth. “I’m going
to snap your neck.”
Meet the Author
Donna Milward lives in Edmonton, Alberta in a tiny house
with a huge yard. She’s been writing all her life, but decided to put writing
on hold to get ‘a real job’ as a meatcutter and build a future with her beloved
troll, Dan and her cats Freya, and Spartacus Jones.
Twelve years later, an invitation to a Romance Writer’s
Conference in Washington D.C. led not only to new friends and new knowledge,
but to the inspiration to write again. Thoeba was completed the following year.
Donna likes to mix her fascination with reincarnation and
all things paranormal with her love of mythology in her work, and has even
written her own myth ‘The Sacred Truth” (on earthtothoeba.blogspot.com) as the
lore behind Thoeba and future novels to come.
Donna enjoys fishing, gardening and canning. Despite these
hobbies, she much prefers city life.
