Bossy like the cat - 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!

Today, I’m continuing snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series.
Background: After Estelle joined their table, Toby, the leader of the Jags gang and the Secret Supers, explained that Gecko’s baby sister is missing. The only clue is the school bus driver’s description of a woman who met the girl. This weekend, we learn a little more about the supers.

Brief background: Toby, the leader of the Jags street gang and the Secret Supers, explained that Gecko’s baby sister is missing. The only clue is the school bus driver’s description of a woman who met the girl. Most of the Secret Supers have companion animals.
Excuse my abuse of semicolons to fit into 10 sentences.

“Patrol as Supers in pairs for safety, and when we spot a likely kid, we do a switcheroo to casual gear.” Toby gestured to Gecko and Ice, “You’re one pair; you both know tons of places in the city where kids can hide.” Grinning at Estelle, he said, “We’re a couple; fly around, and slip off to interrogate likely suspects.”
“Sure, Toby; tonight?” she arched her eyebrows.
“Yep; you and the mare cover west of the connector, and I’ll patrol east with the cat. Don’t dash into trouble; call me before you go visible. Okay?”
“Sheesh, I can fry the bullies.” Rolling her eyes at his string of instructions, she voiced a silent complaint to Rockette, “I hate nagging; he’s as bad as Mom.”
Bossy like the cat,” the mare agreed.

You can read about Estelle, Toby and the other Supers in my Secret Supers books.

She's not abused. Snippet from short #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!

Sorry, I skipped last week, partly due to the hurricane, but mostly due to poor internet. October means Halloween and skeletons sprouting from lawns in our neighborhood of Atlanta. Thankfully, the weather is cooler.

I’m running snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series.
Background: After Estelle joined their table, Toby, the leader of the Jags gang and the Secret Supers, explained that Gecko’s baby sister is missing. The only clue is the school bus driver’s description of a woman who met the girl. This weekend, we learn a little more about the supers.
Toby spoke the final line: He looked at the Jags; “Ideas, anyone else?”
Please excuse my misuse of semicolons to fit.

Ice shifted position to face Toby. Brushing a loose strand of platinum blonde hair behind her ear, she said, “I’m in touch with a group that shelters abused women and children. I’ll ask if they’ve seen this girl.”
“She’s not abused,” Gecko objected.
“Okay, we believe you,” Toby said; “We’ve got to start somewhere.”
Gecko said, “Fricka’s been searching every day since Juliana was lost.”
Toby drawled, “Hawk’s a good hunter, but, she can’t fly into buildings, or talk to people. We can.” He caught Estelle’s gaze, and added, “Discreetly, of course. Not dressed as Supers.”

What's the Plan? 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’m running snippets from an unpublished short story in my superhero series. Once the latest draft is settled, I’ll move on to snippets from my next (hopefully) SciFi novel.

Background: After Estelle joined their table, Toby, the leader of the Jags gang and the Secret Supers, explained that Gecko’s baby sister is missing. The only clue is the school bus driver’s description of a woman who met the girl.
The final line was: Toby said, “Know it’s not much, but she’s the only hint we have.”

Please excuse my misuse of semicolons to fit.

“What’s the plan, Big Jag,” Gecko asked.
Toby quirked a black eyebrow; “Do you have a photo of the girl?”
Gecko scrolled through the images on his phone. “Here’s Juliana,” he showed them a headshot of a girl with big dark eyes and a shy, gap-toothed smile.
Capturing the image with the special Farleon app on his phone, Toby said, “I’ll send you guys a copy. Don’t give ‘em away; we’ll keep this search private.” He drummed his knuckles on the tabletop; “Night patrols, and we stop to question street kids.” Shrugging, he added, “Not my greatest plan, but we have to find the kid before she gets in trouble. Reckon the cops can do the major leg work.” He looked at the Jags; “Ideas, anyone else?”

 Secret Supers

You can read about Estelle, Toby and the other Supers in my Secret Supers books. http://www.auroraspringer.org/p/secret-supers.html

 Pawn

Grand Master’s Pawn is 99c until October 14th
Reviewed by TheRomanceReviews.com - “I enjoyed this story. The world building made me use my imagination and it was truly beautiful. I traveled with Violet Hunter as she completed each mission for her Grand Master, the Griffin, while trying to discover his motives for the missions. Each mission, more dangerous than the last, helped me understand the Griffin more and the dangers of greed and the ambitions of others.”
