Welcome back to Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday Snippet
I can't believe we are already up to Chapter Two of Stutter Creek, my upcoming Romantic Thriller. Okay, maybe I skipped a line or two, but here's the gist of what I've posted so far: A young woman named Mandy was on her way to work when she saw a small boy beside the highway. When she pulled over to investigate, a man leapt into her car and strangled her. It was awful. Now, another woman comes into the book...she is our protagonist. Are the two women connected in some way?
Chapter Two
Standing
in the patch of sunlight, the blond giant smiled crookedly and Beth knew it was
John. She rushed forward to embrace
him. He was shirtless, wearing nothing
but a pair of old cutoffs, his bronze skin glistening with water from the
creek. His hair was long, tied back in a
ponytail with a knotted length of twine.
He was an eighteen-year-old demigod stumbling around the forest in search
of his subjects.
He
opened his arms at her approach.
“Beth.” His voice was just as she remembered.
Okay, folks, that's all for this week. Now skip on over to the wewriwa.com website and check out some AWESOME authors! Until next week...cheers!
Afterthought: Don't cha just LOVE that cover? Yum!

Hi, Ann! Glad I found your snippet here. And what an awesome cover! I love it. John sounds delicious.
I didn't realize that the strangled woman wasn't our heroine. I was thinking that today you'd save her. You piqued my curiousity today.
Scary, Ann. He's looking for another victim and she's about to be one? Good six!
Cut offs and shirtless is always a good thing :)
Um, yum. Great 8 Mom, as always!
Um, yum. Demigod, love it!! Great 8!
Not a good situation for her to be in. I tweeted.
Oh my, that's a twist I didn't see coming. Poor Mandy. Terrific snippet, this is quite a story!
Oh, shameless, gratuitous beefcake. Tehe.
Thanks, LOL. But tell me the truth, did you really like it? ;-)
Love your description and the book cover is beautiful!

Hopefully Beth's encounter with John will go better than Mandy's encounter with mystery villain.
Oh, he is!
Thank you...
