Hi all. *Yawning* It’s an hour later this morning than my internal clock says it should be. Oh, well. Dare I whisper the word spring…?
While we all ponder the infinite possibilities in the weather, I’m sharing another snippet from Ursus Horribilis, my next self publishing adventure.
I’ll have to establish a strict routine for him; a schedule for therapy sessions. Nervously, Rhee prepared for the first visit with her patient.
She’d decided that she would consider herself his doctor, although, unlike Cousin Miz, she couldn’t lay hands on Shep’s skull and cure him of being fuddled.
She was a spirit weaver. Her healing skills were more nebulous. She snorted.
Nebulous, unclear, imprecise, vague—all words for the same thing. I’m a light weight witch with no real talent.

In case you haven’t read Book One and Two in the series:
Have a great week, everyone!!

Aww she shouldn’t speak that way of herself. Bet he’ll prove her wrong. Great snippet, Gem.
I do so love your snippets. 🙂 Can’t wait for more. 🙂
You always leave me anxiously awaiting the next bit. Thanks for sharing Gem. 🙂
“Nebulous, unclear, imprecise, vague—all words for the same thing. I’m a light weight witch with no real talent.” Love it! Now there’s a recipe for a great story! Good post, Gem!
I disagree with her — it’s harder to heal the spirit than it is the body, and a much rarer skill. Maybe he’ll heal her as well…
Love the last line, but as one of your characters, I know she’ll prove herself wrong !
I’m with everyone: I sincerely doubt her powers are week at all. And I can’t wait for her to find that out! 🙂
Ooh, I love how you set the tone here!
Oh that makes me think that by the end of the book she will be a lot more confident and her talent will deadly increase with that.
Aw. That last line makes me feel for her. She doubts herself. Terrific characterization in this.
You’ve grabbed the readers and didn’t let them go from the tone of all the comments. I’m right in there. Your use of words is superior, Gem.
somehow I think she’s going to be stronger than she thinks. Love the inner thoughts of the heroine in this snippet
I’m loving the snippets from this story. So interesting. Can’t wait for more.
I’m interested to see what she can do for him.
I’m very excited to read about the therapy sessions between a lightweight witch and a fuddled bear shifter. Great introductory snippet.
I bet she’s a whole lot more competent than she thinks. She really shouldn’t sell herself short so early in the game. Great introduction to the book!
Love it and like everyone has been saying, she’ll learn a few things about herself by the end of the book;). Great 8.
Did you deliberately save this snippet for a day when everyone’s routine has been shot to heck to make it more relatable? Another great snippet Gem!
I think she may have more depth and strength that she thinks.
I just want to reach out and hug her – loved the snippet!
Love it! I like her already. Can’t wait to read more:)
Fun snippet, bags of character!
Being fuddled? I’m going to like these characters and the magic of this world. 🙂
Interesting device– using the two fonts for interior monologue. It really highlights both her highs and lows regarding her opinion of her abilities.
Aw, have a little faith in yourself, girl–you can do it, Rhee!
