Teaser Tuesday
With AA out there and Possession still under consideration, I thought it was time to take a break (a little break). I've been reading more. I read Nickel and Dimed over the weekend. I just started Midnighters yesterday and really like it so far. I'm about halfway through A Great and Terrible Beauty. I'm on week four with that book now. It's not as terrible as I thought, but it's not exactly capturing my attention either. I mean, it's good. I particularly LOVE Gemma's voice, but nothing seems to be happening to keep me reading. Anyway, I've been working slowly on the Victorian Fantasy. In the last week, I added another 1,000 words to it. I've also started about four other new WIP! I just like playing with new things and I think it'll be good for me.
Here's a piece of another sci-fi YA: (inspired by my car-deer accident, no doubt!)
They found the BMW bent around a tree, a deer injured at the roadside.
My mother loved deer. She had an odd talent of summoning animals. They gathered wherever she was. Maybe that deer, that night, had sensed her. Or maybe he’d just been running scared from something else.
It didn’t matter now.
The deer was dead. So was my mother.
(Notice how it's in first person. It's very weird, considering I haven't revisited first person since last summer when I wrote Possession. For some reason, this book just *wanted* to be in first.)
