Weekend Writing Warriors: Are you immortal? RUNNING FROM SHADOWS #8Sunday #Unicorns



Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!!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 (last week)... Greta runs away from her surprise engagement partthrough the woodsPax saves her from a shadow demon. Oh, and he's a unicorn! 
Back at Pax's cabin, Greta and Pax talk. She tells him one of her secrets. Now it's his turn. She asks if the shadow has been attacking him...

He nodded.

Wow, that is so freakin’ hectic.

Although that did mean we were kind of in the same boat.

“What does it want?”

“Immortality.”

I choked down a sip of coffee. The thought of living forever wigged me out. “Are you immortal?”


Tune in next week to find out!

Thanks again for stopping by! Your support and feedback is greatly appreciated!

  3. Ah the ties that bind. The common bond between these two strangers intrigues me. Can't wait to see how they team up to get rid of this shadow demon AND what the heck is she going to say to her fiance' about all this?

  11. No one that wants immortality is likely to do anything good with it... They'd better steer clear of the demon!

    I wonder if it's because he's a unicorn... Intriguing snippet!
