Fricka the Hawk - Snippet from #Superhero story for #WeWriWa
Welcome
to another Sunday with Weekend Writing
Warriors. Meet writers in
various genres and read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new
author and sample their work. Enjoy!
I’ve
switched to snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series. It
was originally intended for an anthology that didn’t receive enough
submissions. I’m debating whether to expand it into a novella or make an
anthology with other short stories. Any suggestions are welcome.
You can
read last week’s snippet here - https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/08/change-of-plan-snippet-from-short-story.html
The story
continues this weekend.
Postponing their dinner date was a nuisance, but she loved any
excuse to fly on Rockette and use her superpower. Even the idea heated the
palms of her hands. She clenched her fists to hide the tiny flames.
The pigeon griped, “Don’t
know. That bossy cat never spills details.” Flapping to a tree beside the
path, she added, “Fricka’s been searching
for Gecko’s little sister.”
“We’ll find out soon
enough,” Estelle slowed as she rounded the corner to the quiet patio at the
rear of the Student Center. A hawk perched on the flat roof; Fricka keeping
watch while her partner was at the meeting.
Toby and two of the gang were sitting at a table under a crape
myrtle tree laden with large magenta blossoms and out of earshot of idle
listeners.
Learn how
Estelle gained superpowers and a flying horse by reading Super Starrella, Book
1 in the Secret Supers Series
Reviewers
say:
“A boring holiday on a quiet farm livens up for Estella when she
is caught in an explosion and develops super powers and acquires a companion -
a flying horse. 2 good-looking suitors, her first year at college, and a
mysterious super-villain make for a fun read.”
“I
really enjoyed reading this story. It was unique, engaging and easy to read.”
As always, I’ll be happy to reply to your
comments.

Change of Plan - Snippet from Short Story for #WeWriWa #Superhero
Welcome
to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and read
8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their
work. Enjoy!
This
weekend, I’m switching to snippets from an unpublished short story in my
superhero series. It was originally intended for an anthology that didn’t
receive enough submissions. I’m debating whether to expand it into a novella or
make an anthology with other short stories. Any suggestions are welcome.
Here are
the first lines (unedited).
Her bookbag slung over a shoulder, Estelle Wright hurried out of
the classroom. She maneuvered through the bustling corridors of the Bioscience
building, relieved her mid-term was over, and eager to celebrate with her
boyfriend.
Toby Ryan was not waiting by the exit.
She looked around for Rockette.
A speckled pigeon swooped over her head, and landed on the low
wall alongside the steps. Rockette, the flying horse, was in her covert form.
“Change of plan,” the
pigeon squawked, “Toby’s got a job. Meet
him behind the cafeteria.”
Estelle smiled; she had shared a telepathic bond with Rockette
ever since the infusions of alien DNA had given them superpowers. “Okay, what’s the job?” she asked, switching
direction to march along the path crossing the lawn of Goldman University.
The
Secret Supers Series has 3 Books
Reviewers
say:
“Super girls and flying horses. What more do you
need?”
“An enjoyable fun and light hearted entertaining
story filled with lots of adventure, interesting characters, monsters and bad
guys.”

Crafty as ever - Snippet from COSMIC WARS for #WeWriWa #SciFi Fantasy
Welcome to another Sunday
with Weekend
Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and
read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample
their work. Enjoy!
This weekend, I’m continuing a scene from my latest
release, Cosmic Wars, Book 5 of the Grand Masters’ Galaxy. The Griffins, Violet, Athanor, and
their son, Varan, are at home when their dragon friends visit with their baby,
Istros.
You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/08/convenient-distraction-snippet-from.html
The
final line was: The adult
dragons watched in silence as the children played.
[Apologies for minor misuse of grammar to fit in 8-10 sentences.]
In a voice like silver bells,
Istrelle sang eloquently, “These Vrons have earned our friendship; Violet saved
your life and brought us together. We cannot allow harm to befall them; friends
are worth more than one or two loose scales.” She curled her slender neck
around the Black Dragon’s shoulders.
Snorting in sudden amusement,
Ythris croaked, “Crafty as ever, Zyzost Griffin; you play with our sons to claw
us into unity.”
“No craft is needed,” Athanor
remarked, “Violet can tell you how often I entertain Varan.”
“It’s true;” Violet patted his
bent back and chuckled; “Athanor spends his leisure hours romping with our
son.”
Stretching to his full height,
and towering above the Grand Master, Ythris croaked, “When you next visit my
eyrie, I’ll give you a choice of shed scales, mine and Istrelle’s.”
His expression serious, Athanor
said, “By Ishtare’s favor, we’ll visit soon. The Nulls might strike at any time.”

Convenient Distraction - snippet from COSMIC WARS for #WeWeiWa #SciFi Adventure & Romance
Welcome to another Sunday
with Weekend
Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and
read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample
their work. Enjoy! This weekend, I’m continuing a scene from my latest
release, Cosmic Wars, Book 5 of the Grand Masters’ Galaxy.
You can read last week’s snippet here – https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/07/a-taboo-snippet-from-cosmic-wars-for.html
Its
final line was: The dragons’ flare of emotions made Violet hesitate; had she
overstepped a boundary?
[Apologies for minor misuse of grammar to fit 10 sentences.]
“For hundreds of years,” Ythris hissed,
“dragons were hunted for their shining scales.”
“I’m sorry,” Violet said, “Is
that why dragonlords restrict access to Sythos?”
“One reason,” The Black Dragon
whipped his tail, knocking stones off the stream’s bank.
Keeping his tone calm, Athanor
said, “I asked Stimon if he could devise an unbreakable container for the
silver psi-enhancing liquid. The Nulls’ sonic weapon cracked the casing on our
rings, and we lost the protective influence.”
Ythris remained guarded, verging
on hostile, yet Violet sensed Istrelle’s attitude softening toward them.
Conscious of the dragons’ mixed emotions via
his link with Violet, Athanor shrugged, “No matter; we will not break trust
with you.” Apparently unconcerned, he knelt by the gurgling stream and showed
the children how to make a boat from a leaf. Little Istros was fascinated by
the floating leaf, and poked it with his claws; Varan demanded a second leaf,
and dropped it into the stream.
The adult dragons watched in
silence as the children played.
