#SixSunday Part 4 #snippet 1d #PhoenicianSeries #Raif's Story #novelines #samplesunday
Today is Snippet1d - first scene released, 4th piece. Click here to skip the administrivia explanations and just read the snippet.
I'm going to snippet bits and pieces of scenes from Book 1, "Raif's Story" using the #SixSunday hash and http://sixsunday.com/ list of Snippeters :) I'll be signed up on the site @phoenicianbooks and will combine the #SixSunday hashtag on Twitter with the #PhoenicianSeries hash and a link to the current week's snippet. Alas, just as I've signed up, it seems SixSunday is shutting down in 2 weeks on January 27, 2013. The Twitter hash should still work though. I'm also cross-hashing on #SampleSunday of course ^)^
Although each scene will be in sequence, the scenes themselves will be done out of order (in regards to how they will eventually appear in the book). Oh, and I'm starting near the end of the book (hah!) Just search the blog tag cloud for SixSunday and/or PhoenicianSeries to find another snippet .
The first six lines of the first scene will be snippet (1a) and have a tag on it "snippet1a" so you can find it again. The following Sunday will be tagged "snippet1b" for the first scene, second six lines, and so forth. Remember, I'm not snippeting the first scene of the book; that's the first scene released.
I'll add a tag to each snippet for where it falls in the sequence of the scene but the scenes are out of order (can't stress this enough because some people just can't seem to grasp it). To find, forex, the third piece of the first scene snippeted, you would search the blog for "snippet1c" which was last week's snippet. You can read previous snippets by using the "snippet1x" tags replacing "x" with a letter (a, b, c....) to get the whole scene in sequence.
If you haven't read any of the books in the series yet, you can get them both from Smashwords. The short story/novella When Minds Collide (#WMC) comes first and the long novel Conditioned Response (#CondResp) comes next. What I'm snippeting, Raif's Story, will fall in between them on the timeline of the series.
Snippet (1d)
“No,” Raif started slowly, trying not to hear the slightly defensive tone in his voice, “You don’t scare me. You worry me. You perplex me. You annoy the living shit out of me, and you confound me sometimes but the one thing you do not do is frighten me, old man. Now, may I please go?”
“No.” The man at the head of the circle answered flatly, and the older man to Raif’s left added in that whispery thin voice, “Not yet.”
“You like that phrase, don’t you? And does everyone—”
