Thank you for stopping by. I'm excited to participate with such a fantastic group of writers! Check out other warriors here!
Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! 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.
****
Set-up... Pax saves Greta from a shadow demon and then has prove that he's a unicorn. He's stubborn though and won't shift into his full monoceros form, so he only shows her his horn. Still, she's in awe of what she sees. There's a moment between them when she hopes for things to happen, but instead he tells her she smells. She's horrified until he explains that witches smell different than his kind. So she asks: What do I smell like?

“Miserable,” he said, reaching out to squeeze my hand like he wanted to cheer me up.
What was with him? He gave off way too many mixed signals.
“Why don’t you go get cleaned up, and I’ll make us some coffee? Then I’ll take you home.”
Guess the cheer-me-up session was over.
Tune in next week for more Greta and Pax!!
Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Well this is a bumpy relationship for sure. I'd react about like she did, I think. Intriguing excerpt, certainly not going as I expected!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely is bumpy! Thanks so much, Veronica! :)
DeleteIt's just this kind of thing that makes guys wierd. Great 8. I tweeted.
ReplyDeleteLOL So true, Ella! Thanks for stopping by and tweeting! :D
DeleteHm, this relationship may be a little tricky! Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteJust the way I like it! Bwahaha. Thanks so much for stopping by, Gemma! ;D
DeleteGreat snippet! Congrats on having an agent looking over the book!! I hope you get some good news!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lauren! Me too! :o)
DeleteI have a witch in my current WIP - never considered the scent issue, interesting. will this be a deal breaker for him?
ReplyDeleteLove witches! Hmm, you'll have to stop back next week to find out :)) Yup, I tease!! :P
DeleteWell, just about all animals (and Unicorns, too?) have a lot better sense of smell than humans do.
ReplyDeleteVery true :) Thank you for stopping by and commenting, Sue Ann!
DeleteHmm. I never thought of a scent issue.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad I could intrigue. With the monoceri and demons it makes a big difference to them. Thank you for stopping by, Elaine! :)
DeleteReally interesting, Karen. Myriad emotions going on. And YAY on the agent!! Woot! :-)
ReplyDeletePax and Greta are all about the angst! :P Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Teresa! :D
DeleteHe does have some issues, doesn't he? He's a handful! And that's not considering the horn! LOL Great 8!
ReplyDeleteLOL Ahhh, Jenna! You crack me up! Yup, he so does have some issues! ;) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat guy is really... I think that was funny really. He seems to be fighting with himself.
ReplyDeleteA great demonstration of mixed relationship.
Hi Linda! Definitely a struggle for him :)) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI love that witches smell miserable. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :D
DeleteTelling someone they smell miserable is probably not the best first step in cheering them up... LOL Unless he can smell emotions and he's just not good at explaining that?
