#8Sunday – Lunar Falls & Bobcats
Welcome to this week’s installment of Weekend Writing Warriors – the blog hop where writers of all genres share 8 sentences from something they’ve written. This week, I’m continuing on with my current work in progress, a paranormal romance titled Secrets of Lunar Falls, which is set in the lovely and fictional small town of Lunar Falls, Ohio.
In today’s scene our heroine, veterinarian Dr. Carly Tipton, has recently moved to Lunar Falls for a job, and she’s out for a walk through the woods when she happens on a local resident who doesn’t appear too eager to make her feel welcome…
The animal stood on a large boulder just twenty feet or so from her, and Carly felt her stomach give way as he hissed loudly at her. He sat poised and ready, his muscles taut as he watched her, and the fear suddenly ran rampant throughout her body as she realized that he intended to attack her. And she knew instinctively that she was in real trouble because bobcats didn’t normally attack humans, they preyed on much smaller things like mice and squirrels and rabbits, so if this cat was confronting her like he meant business then Carly knew he was most likely rabid.
She tried to back away slowly, but the instant she moved, so did he, leaving the rock he was perched on as he lunged for her! Carly screamed, and she attempted to protect her head and neck as she dropped to the ground. She heard a ferocious growl from behind her and a flash of black fur went streaking across her field of vision as she hit the dirt. She heard the scuffle and looked up to see the largest black wolf she’d ever seen in her life. He easily made two of Lobo, and the bobcat let out a distressed whimper as the much larger animal captured him by the throat and pinned him to the ground, effortlessly snapping his neck in the process.
Secrets of Lunar Falls is now in the editor’s hot little hands. I’m hoping to have it set up for pre-order by the end of September at the latest. Thanks for reading and commenting!
