Six Sentence Sunday – 2/5

Taking a pause in the February First Submission series to do Six Sentence Sunday. Not sure what that is? Scroll down to find out. But first, how about six sentences from the book I just finished the 1st draft on? This is from Command, Ryan’s book (yes, it finally has a viable title! :D ) and is related to Hardware.

“Walk to the treeline, you’ll find a well-worn path there—follow it. You’ll know when to stop.” Beth nodded and started to move away, but Ryan touched her arm to stop her. “Naked by the time I arrive, understood?”
Her eyes glinted in the soft light of morning. “Yes, Master.”

For those new to this, the rules are simple:

1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published

2) pick six sentences

3) post ‘em on Sunday

See? Easy. Want to play? See the site for information on how to do just that: http://sixsunday.com

Six Sentence Sunday – 1/29

I’ve been steadily chipping away at this current work and am in the home stretch. It finally has a title too! But…I’m not sharing just yet. I never make it a secret I love to write tortured heroes. And Ryan, a tenant at the warehouse Sanctuary (which was first introduced in Hardware), is no exception. Six more from Ryan’s book.

Ryan started to sing a stripped down and raw song—the sort he poured his utter soul into because it meant the most to him. He drew the entire crowd with his raspy voice as he sang of love and loss. About mistakes and long forgotten memories. But most importantly, he sang about heartbreak.
He knew all eyes were on him as his powerful voice sang vocals that tore him apart.
It was cathartic—a cleansing of his soul—and very much overdue.

2) pick six sentences

Six Sentence Sunday – 1/22

Thought I’d share six sentences from a book I’m currently working on. This is Ryan’s book for those of you familiar with Hardware. I keep flipping on the title, so it’s not settled quite yet. I’m in the last quarter of the book, nearly finished, so I’ll have to decide soon. Ah well, enjoy.

Beth gave a soft sigh as she fanned her hand, pressing it against his chest. The contact was so simple, yet intensely intimate.
Ryan gloried in the moment, cradling her while she drifted along in subspace. He wouldn’t rush her out of it because he knew the intoxicating effect was a hard thing to pull away from. Instead, he dragged her closer, checking her breathing and pupils. Satisfied, he fit her head under his chin and leaned against the wall—perfectly at peace for the first time in forever.
