RESISTANCE Quote 5

Thanks to those of you who commented last week. The winner of the giveaway is:    Shannon Rose. Congratulations!

I should have details soon of my public events this fall, BUT if you think you might be purchasing a copy of RESISTANCE anyway, would you consider pre-ordering your copy? Pre-orders make a huge difference for authors in terms of how books are shelved and promoted. You can always request a copy through your library, of course, but if you want your own copy and are interested, links are below.

In the meantime, here is this week’s quote. Chaya and her companion, Esther, are hiding among vines on a wall while a German officer searches for them. I love the intensity of this scene.

 

I pressed deeper against the wall and prayed he couldn’t get at any better angle with that rifle. If he did, I’d grab the stock and pull him over the railing. I’d likely lose my own balance in the vines to do it, though, so for both our sakes, I hoped that wouldn’t be necessary.

He gave up on the vines, then fired a spray of automatic bullets into the grasses below. If Ester and I had had five seconds longer to hide, that’s where we would’ve been.

We’d have been there if Ester had been a faster runner.

That thought sent a shudder straight through me.

 

Thank you for checking in on this blog. I’ve got so much exciting news that I hope to be able to talk about soon. Fingers crossed!

If you want a personalized copy of this book, or any of my books, you can order them through my local indie, The King’s English. In the notes at checkout, let them know how you’d like the book to be signed.
