Okay, enough of that, this week's snippet comes from Stevie-girl and the Phantom of Crybaby Bridge. I love this book--the characters are so unpredictable! They took me down many unexpected paths as I rushed to get them down on paper. That's why I'm lowering the price to 99 cents. I want everyone to have a chance to get to know Jase and Stevie-girl.
In fact, I'm going to make ALL THREE PHANTOM BOOKS AVAILABLE FOR ONLY .99 EACH for the rest of the summer!
This week, I pulled from the latter part of the book. Stevie ran off in a huff, and now she's lost in the woods. Worse yet, something is following her. Here we go -- from Stevie's POV:
The blackness under the bushes was
the perfect shadow-cave. I couldn’t really
see anything—
Then,
suddenly, I could.
I could see sharp, white teeth
in a black snout. A feral smile . . .
I
began to run. Not only did my feet
unfreeze, they took on a life of their own.
It was all I could do to keep from crashing headlong into low-hanging
branches and forearm-grabbing brambles.
Afterthought: That's all for this week. For more WeWriWa Snippets, go HERE!

Intense scene!
I'd run too! Great intensity.
Would Steve-girl be appropriate for my ten-year old? She loves mysteries and paranormals, but likes humor.
Exciting snippet! Wonderfully descriptive.
Yes, it has a couple of scary scenes but no inappropriate language or adult situations.
I love that her feet took on a life of their own! Fun!
Ann, wow! Scary scene well written. Thanks.
Scary! I'm glad she was able to run away, excellent excerpt!
Excellent description and great building of suspense/fear. Good job.
Awesome scene! Love the sudden fear and suspense that jerked me right out of my seat!
Great action! Terror in the dark--well done, Ann! :-)
Things don't sound great for Stevie! Great snippet.

Me, too, Jess. Me, too!
Thank you, Gemma!
Haha...isn't that always the way? They will either go or they won't. LOL
Thanks to you!
I appreciate that, Veronica. =)
Oooh, thanks. I love suspense!
Oh thank you, Lauren!
Terror in the Dark...now that sounds like a story I would read!
It gets worse for poor Stevie...
Not only did my feet unfreeze, they took on a life of their own.
I love this line!
A great eight there.
Thanks, Stevie-Carroll. =)
Thanks, I'm glad you do!
Forearm grabbing branches! Love it. Nice panic stricken snippet!
Nice description in the scene Ann! Wonder now if this creature is friend or foe?
Thanks, Sharon. Panic stricken is always good. LOL
Definitely not friendly. =)
