Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences.
Join the fun and read our snippets.
Here, as promised is a
snippet from my forthcoming Book, Super Starrella, a Young Adult Superhero
Romance. (I can’t keep my genres straight!) Seventeen year old Estelle’s quiet
summer at her uncle’s farm becomes weird shortly after her second meeting with
the hunky biker. Spotty is the horse she is riding.
One cool morning, Spotty was cantering along a straight stretch
of lane and halted abruptly at the intersection with a broader gravel road.
The black motorbike leaned on a tree trunk at the side of the
road. Clad in a sleeveless black shirt, Toby crouched on one knee and peered at
the tires. Wary of the stranger, the mare snorted and pawed in the dirt. Wiping
an oil stain from his cheek, Toby stood up and gazed at the horse and rider.
His surly expression lightened, and he drawled, “Hey babe, ain’t seen you for
days. You avoidin’ the city gangster?”
Smiling at his acute question, Estelle rolled her eyes and
fluttered her lashes, “Hi Toby, I like it quiet.” He looked good, long legs,
lean waist and broad chest with the cat tattoo stretched over his biceps.
Blurb
A
quiet summer at her uncle’s farm turns into a weird nightmare when Estelle Wright
rides into an explosion and acquires a superpower and a winged horse with a
snarky attitude.
Back
in her home city of Atalanta, a serial killer is targeting the students at
Goldman University. Before long, the fledgling superhero must juggle college
classes with sneaking out of the house after dark to battle vicious monsters.
Estelle’s life is in danger, but who can she trust with her secret: handsome
Captain Copper from military intelligence, or hunky Toby, the tough gangster
with a motorbike?
Super
Starrella will be published by March 1st.

What's a girl to do? Biceps and a cat tattoo? She is in trouble, for sure ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the release date!
DeleteCongratulations on the release date!
DeleteThanks Kim!
DeleteOf course it will become complicated.
Congrats on the new release! This sounds like quite a change for you, though a very intriguing premise. Toby sounds hot, and like a lot of trouble, though a guy with a cat tattoo can't be all bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThere's a flying horse too.
Sounds like a bad boy, although a guy with a tattoo of a CAT can't be all bad.
ReplyDeleteThe cat tattoo has a special significance.
DeleteHmm, I wonder if this was a chance meeting, or planned. Nice snippet! :)
ReplyDeleteShe has been avoiding the noise of the motorbike during her rides, so possibly he is trying a different tactic to meet her.
DeleteI think we all lazered in on that bicep with the cat tattoo, Aurora. Congrats on your release.
ReplyDeleteThis one already sounds like a lot of fun! Adding my congrats, and hoping you post more from this story. Isn't it energizing to write in a different genre? At least it is for me :-)
ReplyDelete~Marcia
My genres get mixed up. This story is fun.
DeleteHe sounds SEXY. (um, he IS wearing jeans too though, yes? Not just a T shirt...LOL!) Loved the scene and the description of this guy. I could sure linger for some conversation with him. Best wishes on the release!
ReplyDeleteNeat change-up, Aurora! Congrats on the release! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust over a week until the book comes out. May you have super sales for your super heroine.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your super wishes!
DeleteHunky biker indeed. ;) Congrats on the upcoming release! :D
ReplyDeleteHe is not quite what he seems.
