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.
I’m
continuing the scene from: Starrella
Falls, Book 2 in the Secret Supers, until the end of this chapter. Next
weekend, I’ll begin to post snippets from Book 3. You can read the first
chapters of Starrella Falls HERE.
My apologies if I am late reading your snippets since I’ll
be visiting my son in Colorado over the weekend.
Background: Estelle and Toby are superheroes and
their telepathic animal partners are Rockette, the flying mare, and Growler,
the jaguar.
Toby
knocks out the wanted murderer, Croaker, and Mark Copper offers to take Croaker
to the police station. Instead, Estelle and Toby discover Mark is driving
north, probably to Dupree Air Base. Standing by his motorcycle, Toby calls his
friend and speaks in the alien language, Farli.

When the conversation ended, Toby
replaced the phone in his pocket and gazed at Estelle. “We’re in luck tonight. A
delegation from the Enclave is visiting Sol Farleon at the Clinic. The
sentinels will take charge of Croaker. Can’t have a Zarnoth probed by the
army.”
“They’ll have to catch Croaker
first,” she said.
He shook his head. “Not them, us.
Hop on, we’ll capture him.”
The
chapter ends here, as do my snippets from this book, at least for now. You’ll
have to buy the book, or wait in case I set it free, to find out what happens
next about Croaker, Mark Copper and our two main characters.
On
to Book 3! At 50,000 words & crazy editing.

DeleteI'll bet they have a big adventure while catching Croaker.
ReplyDeleteOh course!
DeleteOh ... more adventure, it's going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteLots of action in their future.
DeleteAnd off they go! This story is so true to the genre. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI'm never sure which genre I'm writing in.
DeleteAh yes, nothing is going to be easy here, is it? Which is a good thing for the story :) Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice ending tease, Aurora!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant tease! Good luck with book three.
ReplyDeleteI love the last line. I was immediately thinking, "Hi-ho Silver!!" Fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteWell, a black motorcycle is almost as good, and Rockette is a dapple grey mare.
DeleteThis is getting exciting! Can't wait to see how they pull it off.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm moving on to the next story!
DeleteThings are bound to get complicated. Have a great time in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteThey're going after Croaker. Why do I have the feeling it won't be that easy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been reading too many of my snippets.
DeleteCatching Croaker should be great fun. So should going to CO this time of year. Beautiful. Stay safe and have fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's only a short viist.
DeleteWhat a teaser ending! Best wishes, Aurora.
ReplyDeleteNicely done. I've enjoyed these snippets.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
DeleteLooks like another adventure on the way! Loved the promise in that last line. :D
ReplyDeleteYes. He has accepted her as a partner in the chase.
DeleteYou are one popular gal! and it's well deserved.
ReplyDeleteYes, they like my teaser snippets.
DeleteI think I missed something. I thought Croaker was already captured and being taken to the army base?
ReplyDeleteHe is, but Toby and Estelle are worried he'll break loose. They are correct.
DeleteGreat cliffhanger! Good luck with the editing.

This has me wondering if Croaker is an escape artist and slippery to hold. Great hook.
ReplyDeleteHe is. Earlier in the story, he escaped from jail and killed a couple of people. That's why Toby and Estelle are worried.
DeleteFamous last words, anyone? LOL. I get the feeling this isn't going to be as easy as they hope.
ReplyDeleteThe chase has a few twists and some people get hurt.
