Six Sentence Sunday

Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s another six sentences from Foreshadow!

He let go, but he didn’t move away. “Now tell me, Raena. What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?” He eyed me appraisingly. “Looking quite appealing in your lovely pajamas, I might add.”

My face burned, and I felt thankful the trees were hiding the moon.

 

Imagine discovering that your boyfriend was out to kill you—and that the annoying boy from school was your guardian angel.

 

Rae Davenport has already lost her mother. The only thing keeping her sane is her new boyfriend, Andrei—that is, until she finds out that he wants to kill her. Andrei is a devil, and he wants to use Rae as a sacrifice to get back into Heaven. The only one who can save her is Logan, her guardian angel. He’s only annoyed her in the past, but now he will be her savior.

Six Sentence Sunday

It’s that time again: Six Sentence Sunday! Here’s six sentences from Foreshadow:

“You deserve so much better.”

“Oh, and are you going to be the one to treat me better? Are you saying you could treat me how I deserve to be treated?” I retorted.

He fell silent. His emerald eyes warmed as they bored into mine. “I could,” he whispered.

Six Sentence Sunday

I’m back with six sentences from a current work in progress, tentatively titled Lady Lost!

He waved his hand through the air. It shimmered and shifted, forming a sort of void. I could make out some sort of light on the other side. “Time to go, My Lady. Good luck.” He shoved me forward, toward the light.

Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s another six sentences from Overshadow, book two of The Shadow Imperium!

 Growing desperate now, my mind reeled while I tried to figure out a way to escape him. He was infinitely stronger than me and Logan wasn’t around this time to save me. A crackling energy formed around my palms. I didn’t stop to question it. I pushed him once more, putting all my force behind it. He flew across the room and crashed into the opposite wall.

Six Sentence Sunday

Since I finished writing Overshadow, book two in The Shadow Imperium series, yesterday, I thought I would share six sentences from it.

 

Logan was bleeding.

I didn’t know angels could bleed.

Logan was bleeding.

Blood ran freely from a gash on his otherwise unmarred forehead, tracing a crimson river across the plane of his cheekbone before finally dripping from his chin. The sand beneath him was stained red, although it looked off in the night. His dark hair was matted and stiff where the blood had colored it as well.

Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s six sentences from Foreshadow, available now:

Nothing had been right since I left Vegas. Nothing had been right since my mother had died.

I cut that thought off. It still hurt too much to think about her. I missed her, yet I blamed her. If she hadn’t died, I wouldn’t be stuck here, in a place I didn’t like, with people I didn’t like.

Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s six sentences from Foreshadow, book one of The Shadow Imperium series!

I found myself running again, but the setting had changed. I wasn’t at the beach this time. I stood in a long hallway, and it seemed familiar for some reason.
The fog hung low in the hall, surrounding me. Fog inside a building? It didn’t make sense, but in horror, I watched as it pulled at my clothes, twisting around my legs.

Foreshadow is available now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and the Astraea Press website!

Six Sentence Sunday

I’m back with another six sentences from one of my Works in Progress, Golden Savannah!

My mother acted like she believed me when I told her what had happened to Evan wasn’t my fault. Then again, the details of what had happened that day weren’t exactly clear. Maybe I tried to forget on purpose, or maybe my mind had subconsciously shielded me from the truth—I’d heard that was common with traumatic situations. That day almost three years ago was certainly traumatic. Not only had Evan been seriously injured, but that was also the day my father walked away forever. It was if he blamed me for what happened to Evan too and couldn’t bear to look at me anymore.

Six Sentence Sunday

I’m back with Six Sentence Sunday!

I was going to share something from FORESHADOW, since it will be out soon…but it’s still in editing. Once I’m done editing, I’ll share more. Instead, I’m going to share something from one of my works in progress (WIPs), tentatively titled GOLDEN SAVANNAH.

My seventeenth birthday was the day that changed my life forever.
You were expecting me to say something cliché like my sixteenth birthday, weren’t you? Nope, seventeen is the magick number where I come from. I think it has something to do with the number seven being whole, complete—and finding him was certainly nothing less than magickal.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me take you back to where it all began…
Want more? Come back next Sunday, when I’ll be sharing six more sentences from one of my books. Want to read six sentences from other authors’ books? Check out http://sixsunday.com/ for this week’s complete list!

Six Sentence Sunday

Here’s another six from FORESHADOW, book one of The Shadow Imperium! How would you like to have Rae’s crazy nightmares?

The fog thickened around me and began to coalesce. I could hear laughter echoing from within the fog. It was horrifying. I couldn’t get past whatever was forming behind me. I threw my hands over my head in a futile attempt to protect myself and crouched down, sobbing hysterically. I was expecting the worst, but praying for a miracle . . .
