Excerpt here from the beginning of a low-magic, modern-day-setting fantasy novel I'm working on. I know the writing is clear, and so forth. I am curious if it grabs people to keep reading, though. Please note a bit of cursing (including one F-bomb), a matter-of-fact protagonist thinking about sex ('screwing'), and a bar setting to the scene, if any would offend you. The story is pitched to adults/mature teenagers.
I'm also nervous about using the term 'gypsy,' given that it's inaccurate and un-PC, but decided to run with it as it's what the female character would think, not Rroma, and it's her voice in this opening bit.
