Those of you following on Twitter are already familiar with my “tweatures” — tweets from Juno Books, very short excerpts (less than 144 characters, of course!) Collect them all! Trade with friends (or something). Since we are coming up on #10, I thought it was time to recap these tantalizing tidbits. Here are the first nine:

  • Tweature #1: I really had no choice. If you can’t kill the serpent outright, you either let it devour you or play mongoose—charm it. — from Amazon Ink, Lori Devoti
  • Tweature #2: “Damn wærewolves dumping Krispy-Kreme boxes on the lawn.” — Vicious Circle, Linda Robertson
  • Tweature #3: The demon woman sounded like…a woman. Any woman. Light and airy, as if she were asking for shoes in a different size. — Demon Inside, Stacia Kane
  • Tweature #4: “She will not hurt the little bunny. Just give him a shave. Hair—that is all. No blood.” — Amazon Ink, Lori Devoti
  • Tweature #5: Rio Seco was so small, it not only didn’t have a Dairy Queen, it didn’t even have a football team. In Texas, that’s tantamount to heresy. — Matters of the Blood, Maria Lima
  • Tweature #6: Life was as good as it could be with a gymnasium full of Amazons and a serial killer on the loose. — Amazon Ink, Lori Devoti
  • Tweature #7: I know the dead and the dead know me. Not a personal choice, mind you, just the result of being born into a family of necromancers. –Matters of the Blood, Maria Lima
  • Tweature #8: After taking one last moment to mourn her death, I flipped the girl’s body over my shoulder and trudged to my truck.– Amazon Ink, Lori Devoti
  • Tweature #9: Gnarled six-toed feet stepped in the blood leaving strange misshapen impressions that fissured the vision like a shattering mirror.–Personal Demons, Stacia Kane

What will #10 be?

Oh, and I’m damned tired of that “bluebird of happiness” Twitter look. Let’s darken up the place, shall we?
