I am happy to be again participating in SFFS. You can find links to the other participants here. This week I’m offering an excerpt from ‘Blue Galaxy.’

She grabbed his hand as they arrived at a brightly lit concourse. The place was packed with people. Javan swept the crowd and sighed in relief. Only pirates, cutthroats, smugglers, mercenaries and assassins to worry about.

“Just keep walking.”
He walked faster as the crowd murmured. Someone whispered his name, was shushed, and several people scurried off in different directions.

haha! This is a lot of fun to read.
Especially love this line: “Only pirates, cutthroats, smugglers, mercenaries and assassins to worry about.”
