#WeWriWa ~ Stevie-girl and the Phantom Student only #99cents ~ Enter the Rafflecopter, too!

Hello Weekend Warriors!  This week's snippet is from Stevie-girl and the Phantom Student, book two in the Phantom Series.  I've had to do some horribly creative editing to get this paragraph into 8 sentences.  See what you think...Jase and Stevie are passing by the old schoolhouse:

            Jase stopped talking and followed my gaze.  “What is it, did you see something again?”

            I shook my head; I didn’t know how to describe the awful feeling of sadness that had washed over me at the sight of the school's tall, brick arch.  “I don’t know,” I whispered.  “I didn’t see anything, but I feel something.”

            “You never finished telling me about your dream," he said.

           “There was a girl with long white hair—wild white hair—and she was standing beneath an archway just like that one.  And she was swishing back and forth like a little girl’s rag doll in the hands of a big mean bully.” 

Okay, folks, that's all for this week.   For more WeWriWa Snippets, go HERE!  And don't forget to scroll down to enter the Rafflecopter giveaway - books, gift cards, and swag!  Good luck! Oh, and by the way, all 3 Phantom books are on sale for 99 cents each!

#WeWriWa Excerpt from Stevie-girl and the Phantom Student

Hey, Everyone, 
Welcome back to another excerpt from my Phantom series. This time it's from the 2nd book in the series, Stevie-girl and the Phantom Student.  I'm giving you the foreword because I think it explains a lot about the time period and the set up.  The only thing it doesn't mention is the phantom student herself!  
NEXT WEEK, JULY 9TH - 13TH, the first book in the series, Stevie-girl and the Phantom Pilot, will be FREE on Amazon http://tinyurl.com/crr5kry

 Below is the foreword from Book Two, which serves as my excerpt today.  It is in Stevie's POV and yes, Victoria, there really is Creative Punctuation:

Book Two of

The Phantom Series

            This book is dedicated to all those students who walk the halls like phantoms, hoping their differences truly are invisible.

  

             To us, 1970 was a time of beginnings, but to the country, it was a time of endings. National Guardsmen ended the lives of four students at Kent State College; one hundred thousand marched on Washington to end the war in Vietnam; and in England, Paul McCartney announced the end of The Beatles.  It was also the year Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin both ended their lives through drug overdoses.  It felt as if the whole world was in turmoil.

            Our homeroom teacher said not to let the weight of the world stop us from being open to new experiences.  In fact, she said it was more important than ever that we should be open-minded.  I wondered if she’d gone radical on us; for a moment, I thought she might pick up a sign and start chanting.

            Come to find out, she was simply prepping us for a new addition to our class at Crossroads Junior High; his name was Derol Pavey and he had something called Tourette syndrome. 

Okay, folks, that's all from me, today.  But hop on over to the Weekend Writing Warrior's Website  http://www.wewriwa.com and catch up with a bunch of awesome authors~and don't forget to pick up your Kindle Copy of Stevie-girl and the Phantom Pilot starting July 9-13 FREE!
