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. Estelle was knocked unconscious in
an explosion, and when she woke, she was tied down in a strange place. Read
last week’s snippet here: http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2016/03/estelle-wakes-snippet-for-wewriwa-from.html
Fighting off panic, she forced
herself into a wary calm. Gradually, her vision cleared and memories crept
back. She was Estelle Wright, seventeen years old, on her way to college.
Estelle stared up. Curved glass
enclosed her body; above the transparent cylinder, glossy lines decorated the
white ceiling. Her gaze traveled along the interleaved spiral paths; blinking,
she wrenched her eyes away from the hypnotic patterns.
What was this creepy place? It
was not a regular hospital.
Voices drifted to her ears from
outside her room. They seemed to be discussing her.
If you really
want to learn the truth, the eBook will be 99c for March, or you can PM me to
request an ARC.
Blurb
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.

This doesn't sound like fun. I hope they are not going to do crazy experiment on her.
ReplyDeleteYou'll find out! Maybe... room fills with crazy laughter.
DeleteCan't wait to find out what they say has happened to her, Aurora. She is remarkably calm, so that is a good start#
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out what they say has happened to her, Aurora. She is remarkably calm, so that is a good start#
ReplyDeleteToo calm to be natural!
DeleteCan't say that's a position I'd want to find myself in. :S But I'm very interested to hear what will happen next! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteLater on, she is understandably reluctant to return to this place.
DeleteIntriguing! Yes, what kind of a place is she in?
ReplyDeleteUh oh, sounds like trouble is coming. But that's good for the story.
ReplyDeleteOf course! and more twists.
DeleteI loved how you introduced Estelle, Aurora. I struggled with that in my own post this weekend. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the first chapter, but maybe a reminder of how young she is.
DeleteI can do wary calm - I love that description! Another terrific excerpt, very intense situation she's in.
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't panic easily - just as well since she will become a superhero.
DeleteHope she's not claustrophobic...doesn't sound like a fun place to wake up at all.
ReplyDeleteOf course not.
DeleteEstelle's in trouble - little does she know how much she's gotten herself into by getting caught in the explosion!
ReplyDeleteAnd it takes her the whole book to sort it!
DeleteGood descriptive writing, Aurora. Easy to visualize. I hope she figures it out, and fast. Sounds like a bad place.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's not as bad as you imagine.
DeleteAn alien hospital? A secret army laboratory? Someplace else entirely?
ReplyDeleteGood guesses!
