#8Sunday – Lunar Falls and Ghost Stories
Another Sunday, another 8 sentences! Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warriors post – the blog hop where writers from all genres share just eight sentences from something they’ve written. You know, when I first stumbled across WeWriWa, my only goal was to share a few snippets and get some feedback. But what I found is that this blog hop is a wonderful way to sample authors who are new to me. My TBR list has begun to swell because of the amazing authors who participate in this blog hop each week, so if you haven’t already, you should really take a cruise around the hop and find some new favorites!
So this week, I’m continuing on from last week’s snippet where Carly was reliving her experience in the woods and trying to make sense of it all. In this scene, she’s been unpacking all day (and obsessing over the strange wolf), and has just carried some empty cardboard boxes out to the trash.
She stood awkwardly trying to fold the darn things so that she could stuff them into the bin with the others when she heard a soft snap and the rustle and crunch of brush, and she stopped and looked around.
The warm day had given way to night and the sky was now full of stars. There was a slight chill to the air, an undeniable hint that summer was quickly drawing to a close and soon the nights would bring frost. But the temperature was the last thing on Carly’s mind as she stood looking around the side yard, letting her eyes scan the area.
“Hello?” she called out, staring into the dense row of shrubbery and trees not twenty yards away. “Is someone there?”
There was, of course, no response to her query, and she couldn’t help but think about the ghost story the waitress at the diner had told her about the previous owner of the house. Was she hearing Lily Faraday walking around her beloved garden from beyond the grave?
Secrets of Lunar Falls is now available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and iTunes. Here’s the official blurb:
When veterinarian, Dr. Carly Tipton, takes a new job in the tiny farming community of Lunar Falls, she expects to build a new life for herself. She expects to meet new people and have new experiences. Maybe she’s even expecting a little adventure. But what she’s not expecting is to fall head over heels in love – not with the town, and certainly not with its ruggedly sexy sheriff, Gabriel Masters. She’s also not expecting all the secrets Lunar Falls is hiding. Secrets that could destroy everything she ever believed was true about her own heritage and the family she left back home.
Gabe isn’t ready for Carly when she blows into town. That woman has the power to bring him – a man born and raised to be a GrandAlpha – to his knees, and she’s human! That simple fact alone makes her dangerous to Gabe’s position within the pack. But the fact that he can’t seem to stay away from her tells him that this woman is the one. Human or not … she’s his mate. And now Gabe has to find a way to make their bonding complete without sparking a civil war among his people.
Secrets of Lunar Falls is book one of an adult, sexy shifter romance trilogy.
