Rockette in trouble - Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa #Superhero Adventure

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.

Leading up to Estelle’s next meeting with the mysterious Toby, I’ll give you a glimpse into her secret life as Super Starrella with her winged mare, Rockette. You can read last week’s snippet here: http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2016/06/super-starrella-in-action-snippet-for.html

Slipping off the mare’s back, Estelle circled the space, alert for another attack from the injured mantis. Behind her, Rockette snorted and stamped her hooves, impatient at the delay. A rush of air and the mare squealed, her hooves shuffling on the asphalt. Swiveling towards the sound, Starrella bit her lip; mantis mandibles clamped onto a feathery wing, pinning the mare on the ground. In a blur of white feathers, Rockette struggled to free her wing, twisting and kicking with no visible effect.

Starrella pointed her fingers and hesitated, unsure of her target. White mare and green mantis writhed together, and she was afraid of hitting the wrong one.

A black shape bounded out of the darkness, resolving into the lithe body of a large cat. Leaping onto the struggling combatants, the cat’s teeth snapped into the neck of the mantis. The mare jerked away and stood shuddering as the mantis legs scrabbled on the tarmac.

Super Starrella - Next Snippet for #WeWriWa

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 teaser scene from my new release, Super Starrella. Estelle was knocked unconscious in an explosion. When she woke, she was tied down in a weird cylinder and heard strangers discussing her. Then, a woman entered and gave her a drink. Read last week’s snippet here:

The second time she woke, Estelle grew angry, remembering what Dr. Netta had done. They had drugged her; she had to escape from this peculiar Clinic. This time, the transparent cylinder had vanished and she lay on what appeared to be a regular hospital bed. Her strength restored, Estelle sat up and slipped her legs over the edge of the bed.

She waited, listening for any sound from her captors; all was quiet.  

Gathering her courage, Estelle padded round the room and opened the cabinets, one by one. Her clothes hung in a tall cabinet on the back wall, next to a bright blue leotard and matching leggings. A shiver of certainty ran down her spine. As a child, Estelle had dreamed of being her favorite comic book character, Super Starrella, and flying across the sky chasing villains. If she wore the costume, her name would be Starrella.

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.

Soon, I'll switch to the next book in this series, which is coming together slowly.

The Solinar Veterinary Clinic - Snippet from Super Starrella for #WeWriWa #Superhero #Technothriller

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 teaser scene from my new release, Super Starrella. Estelle was knocked unconscious in an explosion. When she woke, she was tied down in a weird cylinder and heard strangers discussing her. Then, a woman in a white coat entered and spoke to her. Read last week’s snippet here:

http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2016/04/can-i-go-home-snippet-from-super.html

The last sentence was “Can I go home?” Estelle shivered, afraid she was an unwilling participant in some outlandish experiment. 

“Not yet; we need to run more tests to ensure there are no unpleasant side effects. We have informed Mrs. Dawson that you are staying at the Solinar Veterinary Clinic.”

The name raised new questions in Estelle’s mind. Wary of her captors, she asked, “Who are you?”

“You may call me Dr. Netta,” the woman tapped the side of the table, eliciting a series of clicks. The top of the cylinder swung open and the straps loosened around Estelle’s ankles and wrists. Free to move, she rubbed her eyes and wondered if she were trapped in a nightmare.

Dr. Netta removed a bulb from a cabinet, twisted off the top and offered the bulb to Estelle, “Drink this; you will gain energy.”

Estelle squeezed the bulb and the cool liquid slid down her throat. Seconds later, her head swam, mist coiled before her eyes, and she fell down a dark hole.
