Last week was my first attempt at a Six Sentence Sunday post on my blog, and I found it a lot of fun! Since I featured a snippet from Becoming last week, today I figured I would present something from Central, the second book in the Daughters of Saraqael Trilogy. Here we go:
The thought was intensely compelling. She was surprised to find her feet moving to obey. She took five full steps closer to the forest before she caught herself. Realizing she was now only about six feet from the tree-line, she shook her head as if to clear it and turned to slowly move away, hoping not to provoke whatever creature it was into charging after her.
“James,” she said, glancing carefully over her shoulder as she backed up a step, “There’s something—”
That was all she got out before she was violently yanked off her feet and the world flipped sideways.
What did you think? I’d love your comments!
I’m also very happy to let you know that tomorrow, I’ll be featuring a post with an awesome cover reveal for the very talented J.C. Martin. J.C. designed a “Mystery Blog Tour” to promote her upcoming book, Oracle, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it! Please be sure to drop by and check it out.
