Carousel Tides: Tweets for the Tweetless Day Two

[rolanni]

Day Two of the Carousel Tides tweet-a-thon, excerpting snippets from the book at the dizzying rate of 6 in 12 hours. Watch the skies. . .

“Good morning, fair Nerazi,” I said, moving closer across the sand.

“Nay, nay, keep your sweet words close and be niggardly in their spending! For when those are gone, there will be no more, I warrant.”

“Normal folk see what they want to see,” I agreed. “And we’re lucky that they do.”

“That deed is ancient! We surveyed as well as we could, but when the markers are old rocks and trees that rotted 50 years ago –”

“You’re vandalizing my lawn and if you don’t cease, I’ll call the police and see you hauled away in handcuffs!”

“Hear me, Man,” I heard myself say. “The boundary will be honored.” The Word spoke itself, soft and gentle, like dew.

The line between our properties was marked with a ride ribbon of dead grass.

Thank you for compiling these! I am Tweetless, but I love the snippets.

Assuming a Certain Package arrives as promised, you may actually take a physical specimen away with you from the book launch.

Excellent. That was my plan, but I was not sure if it would all work out. The backup plan involved the Children's Book Cellar.

You were going to hold her HOSTAGE for a copy of the book?

Nope! Not at all.

I was going to buy a copy at the local independent bookstore called the Children's Book Cellar. Which is not located in a cellar, but may have once occupied one...

Sorry. Couldn't help it. My funny bone got tweaked.

If only you were closer to New Mexico. I'll have to read my proof copy while I wait for the other copy to arrive. Probably buy an e-copy too.

Nearer to Britain would help.

It's all the fault of the SF writers. If only they had got on and actually invented matter transporters instead of just writing about them...
