#8Sunday – Secrets of Lunar Falls

Happy Sunday, Everyone! It’s time for another Weekend Writing Warriors post – the blog hop where writers of every genre post just 8 sentences from their work. Last week I wrapped up a series of 8s from my recently re-released rockstar series, Jagged Ivory, so this week, it’s time for something new. And since I’ve been hard at work on my first paranormal romance, Secrets of Lunar Falls, I figured now was the perfect time to start getting some feedback on it. This 8 comes from the opening scene of the book.

 

The dead body lying on the hiking trail should have served as a reminder that Lunar Falls was indeed part of the real world, however magical and extraordinary it may sometimes seem. But the blissful euphoria of falling in love here had clouded even that reality, and now all Carly could do was stare, and try to keep Lobo from going near it. She didn’t even scream. She had seen dead bodies before, lots of times. Granted, none of them were human, but the four-legged variety counted, didn’t it?

It was strange to her that she wasn’t overcome by fear or even horror at the sight. And what a sight it was – the body had been picked over until it was little more than a half-eaten carcass. She should be slightly hysterical, shouldn’t she? At the very least, she should be nauseated.

Secrets of Lunar Falls is in the final rewrite stage as I work frantically to get it sent off to the editor on time. I was hoping for a Halloween release, but it’s looking more like early November. Thanks for reading, I look forward to your feedback.
