Sunday Snippet and #ROW80 Check-In
Hi, folks!
I’ve decided to share snippets of my current WIP on Sundays instead of Saturdays, alongside my ROW80 check ins. I won’t be checking in on Wednesdays, I don’t think; just Sundays for now. We’ll see if I get to the point where I remember to do both 
So my first snippet is an excerpt from my novel, Wolfspirit, which is book 2 in the Otherside trilogy. This is the first few paragraphs of chapter 1-draft 1.
~~~
You should never hit a pissed off redhead: Sometimes they hit back.
My fist connected with Tate’s nose with a resounding and almost-too-pleasing thwack. Bone cracked and his expression was nearly comical as his hands flew up to staunch the flow of blood that had begun to gush down his face.
Not that this was a laughing matter.
“You bitch.” If looks could kill, I’d be vaporized.
I crossed both arms over my chest, jutting my chin out and glaring at him. I refused to rub the bruise blossoming on my cheekbone. I wouldn’t give him the pleasure of seeing me in pain, even though it smarted. “Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to hit girls? Oh, wait, that’s right. You probably hit her, too!” The words were acid on my tongue. Tate had always had a rough family life, but I never thought…
His expression turned sharp, but I didn’t give him the chance to say anything. Twisting his class ring off my finger—the promise ring he’d given me almost two years ago, when we decided we were going to get married right out of high school and have a couple kids—I slapped it into his blood-sticky palm.
“I’m done.”

Kodilynn, I have to say I am impressed. :) I was looking for some books to read and just happened across Wolfsong on Wattpad. (Never heard of Wattpad, but now I am glad I found it.) I read your first chapter and I just couldn't stop there so I did some more research and found you here. Then I went to Amazon and purchased the Kindle version of Wolfsong and I am getting ready to sit back and read it. I'm telling you this because it is not very often that a book can grab my attention to read the first chapter and then get me to stop all the other reads I am doing just so I can finish it. That is BIG with me. (I am currently reading about 60 other books right now and yours has pushed them to the back.) Your book has totally grabbed me and I wanted to let you know that once I finish reading it, I will be posting my review on Amazon and here on goodreads. See you after awhile. :)
