It's time for another 6 Sentence Sunday. This snippet is taken from The Phantom Student which will be released soon from Cool Well Press. It is book two of The Phantom Series. In this scene, Jase and Stevie-girl are riding to school shortly after Stevie saw the strange image in her bathroom mirror--the image that seemed to be a reflection but looked away from her instead of directly at her. They are passing by the abandoned elementary school when Stevie gets an odd feeling:
The old building was elegant, somehow. The curved windows
and brick courtyard gave it an air of gentility that the modern glass and
concrete school just didn’t possess.
Jase had started
riding again, slowly: "You okay?"
I nodded; I
couldn’t seem to speak. As we put the school behind us, I turned for one
more look and there in the window beside the front door, a small face was
staring out. She had wild white hair and pale, pale
skin.
Okay, th-th-th-that's all folks! For this week, at least. Check back next week for another installment. Should I continue with The Phantom Student, or should I revert to snippets from All For Love, my contemporary romance that's coming out soon? And don't forget to check out other snippets here: http://www.sixsunday.com/

Oh, spooky six, Ann. Love it.
I'm all for Phantom student, but then again I'm a lover of all things spooky! :D Great 6.
Thanks, Mackenzie...I appreciate the comment =)
I'm enjoying this story, want to know more about the face at the school window! But I'm sure whichever you pick to excerpt will be an excellent read!
Thanks, Veronica!
This is good :-) Is this YA, Ann? I've developed quite a fondness for YA books. :-) The Phantom Pilot is book number 1? I'll be back to read more. :-) Have a great week.
Yes, this is Book Two of The Phantom series. It is YA. Thanks, Teresa!
ooo this sounds like my kind of fun! the pale face has me curious...
Glad you like it...I'll definitely continue next week then =)
How old is old? I think of curved glass as fairly modern. (My elementary had glass brick, but then that was right after WWII.)
Actually, the glass itself wasn't curved just the shape of the window...like an arch.
Ooh! Spooky!
Nice and spooky, I'd love to read more of this story. :)
Oh, I can see that little face. sad. Great six!
Thanks, you guys...this was from last week, I was out of town and set this week's to publish automatically, but it didn't. I will go and do it manually next time! thanks for coming by!
I'd like to see more of Phantom Student. But then I'm anxiously waiting to read the whole book! :)
Thanks, Katy...October (or before if I'm lucky).
