Today is #sixsunday where writers share six sentences from their work.
I am so sorry I never got around to visiting everyone last week. I underestimated how much RWA drained me. I promise to go around today!
Today’s Six Sunday is picking up where we left off last week with STEAM ME UP, RAWLEY, my steampunk romance set in Mobile, AL. Loki returns Rawley’s cravat that had flown away when Rawley landed in his hot air balloon. Loki is a monkey and he’s wearing oyster shell armor, so that you know what Rawley means at the end:
“What have we here?” Dr. Rawley squatted in front of Loki and held out his hand. Obligingly, Loki placed it in his palm like he was bestowing a great and delicate treasure. “What an obliging creature. Thank you, little sir.”
Dr. Rawley gave Loki a pat on the head, and asked, “Are these… oyster shells?”
As always I welcome constructive feedback. Thank you!

A very cute six! 🙂
This is delightful. Rawley is someone I definitely want to see more of. And Loki makes me smile. 🙂
Very charming six! I love when an animal is a main character.
Awww, so cute! Great six!
Sweet. I can so picture this.
I really like how he gives back Rawley’s cravat like a treasure – lush.
This is so delightfully quirky! Love it!
Adorable and delightful! I love the description of a ‘great and delicate treasure.’
Very cute, and terrific description. Great six!
I love Loki, he’s the best. Looking forward to reading the whole thing. *Hint, hint*
Loki is SO cute!!!
Angela, this is cuteness taken to the extreme! Very fun six.
We missed you, Angela!
A monkey named Loki—it doesn’t get more appropriate than that. 🙂
Loki sounds like an adorable and smart little guy. I love the idea of armor made out of clam shells, very creative.
I can see little Sir Loki sharing his treasure. Fun 6.
Now why on Earth is Loki wearing armor?
You’ll find out later 😉
You can always judge a man by how he treats children and animals. I like this one!
Cute visual. Now, I’m going to be thinking about monkeys and oysters!!
You’ve created a clear and charming picture in my mind. Love these six, Angela. 😀
Now I want to pat the monkey on the head. Very cute.
You’ve got such likeable characters in this. And this snippet is a good look at two of them that are terribly charming! Love it!
What a nice man to pay attention to the monkey – damn good thing he does I bet 😀
Yes, more Loki! I love Loki! Good that Rawley seems to like him as well.
I love the idea of oyster shell armour. Very nice six and at least Rawley will be properly dressed now and spare our blushes. 🙂
A monkey wearing *armor* made of oyster shells! Woot! Really like this excerpt Angela.
Sweet six…love the natural dialogue.
Awesome six. Fun characters and terrific dialogue and description. 🙂
Fun six! The monkey is adorable, with or without oyster shells. 🙂
I love that doggone monkey! I always find it so entertaining in books when one of the characters is an animal. Really enjoying this story, Angela. Great six!!
Very creative, Angela. My fave part– “… a great and delicate treasure.” Nice word choice. Great six 🙂
Love Loki and the glimpse into Dr. Rawley’s personality. Fun six this week, Angela!
Wow, I can visualize the oyster shell armor – neat concept! I don’t think Dr. Rawley is ever at a loss – I like him! Excellent excerpt! Was so nice to meet you at RWA, wish we’d had more time to actually chat longer!
I want a Loki for Christmas please. Lovely writing, Angela. Awesome.
Nice how Loki is wearing armor. I could picture the scene so well. Great six as always!
Obliging and clever! Wonder who made his oyster shell armor?
“…like he was bestowing a great and delicate treasure.” This is great! Love this six!
