Hooray for Six Sentence Sunday!
Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers!
(NEW!) Guess what?? Running From Shadows has finaled in another contest!!! This makes THREE total so far!! Squee!!! Reveal Your Inner Vixen! (Maryland Romance Writers chapter of RWA)!!!!!
Today
I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance
Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent and an editor!! Squee!!
Follow Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton "Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student
with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
****
Last week... Greta FINALLY goes into Paxton's cabin. It opens into
one big room, sparsely furnished but neat, with a loft above the living room
and an eat-in kitchen with a warm and inviting woodsy pine scent. The smell
reminds her of him…Goddess, this boy makes her feel tingly and good and oh-so nervous. She stumbles over her words. “I’m Greta, by the way. Greta
Shore.”

“I know.” Tall, with the kind
of body that got you a billboard in Times Square, the way he watched me with
his blue-eyed gaze set my skin on fire. If only I could give myself to the
flames.
Goddess, I must be losing it.
“How?” I started to pick at a
hangnail on my thumb and stopped--this boy didn’t need to know my bad habits.
Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!! ;) Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated! Get a sneak peek for more awesome authors at SSS.
