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.
Today, I’ll continue the
scene from my new release, Super Starrella. Seventeen year old Estelle’s quiet
summer at her uncle’s farm becomes weird shortly after her second meeting with
the hunky biker, Toby. In last week’s snippet, Estelle’s runaway horse hit an
explosion and she was knocked out. You can read it here –
I’ll skip a chapter so you
can learn what happens when she wakes.
(Snippet
edited to fit)
Estelle woke. Surreal streamers
of color swirled behind her eyelids; her head felt dizzy and her stiff body
ached. Questions crawled into her mind. What had happened? Where was she? Who
was she?
She cracked her eyes open; a white
blur filled her field of vision. She tried to rub her eyes, but her hand was
fastened at the wrist. Wriggling each part of her body, she discovered cold
metal bands pinning her forehead, her arms and legs. Fear shivered through her tethered
body and her mind whirled in confusion.
Teen
superhero, Starrella, and her flying horse tackle villains in the skies of
Atalanta.
The
quiet summer before her freshman year turns frighteningly weird after Estelle
Wright trespasses onto an Army base. Blown into the air and knocked
unconscious, she wakes with a nascent superpower. Not to mention a winged horse
with a snarky attitude and a mind of her own.
Back
home in Atalanta, a serial killer is targeting the students at Goldman
University. Before long she must juggle college classes with sneaking out of
the house after dark to battle alien monsters. Estelle’s life is in danger, but
who can she trust: handsome Captain Copper from military intelligence, or hunky
Toby, the tough gangster with a motorbike? Both men have secret agendas, but
falling in love is not in their plans.
Young
adult superheroes, quirky animal sidekicks, and a dash of romance enliven this thrilling
adventure. Book 1 of the Secret Supers.

Now that is really scary, Aurora! Excellent cliff hanger! I REALLY want to read more.
ReplyDeleteGreat! And I skipped the chapter with the creepy discussion about her.
DeleteDefinitely not how you want to wake up! Things are not looking too good for her. :(
ReplyDeleteIt's good and bad.
DeleteWell, that's not a good situation to be in. Holy smokes. Great cliffhanger.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteUh-oh! That's not a good way to wake. Need more!
ReplyDeleteNo, but she survives.
DeleteI was totally freaking out for her, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteSorry I scared you (not really, lol!)
DeleteOh, that can't be good any way you look at it. But, teenagers are resilient; I imagine teenage superheros aren't much different than normal, well, except the 'superhero' thing. I hope her horse is OK!
ReplyDeleteThe horse comes later in the chapter.
DeleteWaking up like that is the worst! Way to leave us hanging. :-)
ReplyDeleteWait for next week, or I can sent you an ARC!
DeleteOh dear, that's NOT good. The stakes are definitely amping up here. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteOf course!
DeleteSo many questions--wonder what the explosion was, who caused it, and why they used it to entrap her. Good cliffhanger, Aurora. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou won't find all the answers in my snippets.
DeleteUh oh! Never like waking up strapped down like this...it rarely turns out pleasant.
ReplyDeleteShe's not happy!
DeleteOh gosh., she needs to get the heck out of there. I hope she does. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSometimes, you know, you wake up and you just wish you could go right back to sleep again. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha!
DeleteGreat job describing her confusion and everything that came with it. I really liked this snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
