Six Sentence Sunday - The Goblin King - Not So Smooth


Welcome back, Sixers! Thank you for returning for the snippets of my WIP The Goblin King. I really appreciate your comments and enjoy sharing the story with you. I hope you'll stop by the other blogs of authors who participate in Six Sentence Sunday. Three folks to definitely check out: Cara Michaels, Sterling Priest, and Tom Keller.

In this snippet, Tricia just tried to pull away and excited Jakran's inner predator. 

          Tricia whimpered so softly he barely heard it over the thunder of his own heart, but it pierced his lust like a lance through a water skin and he slammed back into the present moment. Disgust and chagrin ripped through him when he saw her hunched pose.
            Oh gods, I’m frightening her!
            Releasing her hands, Jakran lurched backwards in an awkward movement and landed hard on one hip. He grunted with pain, but kept moving until he stood beside an upset chair, using the ornate back to hold him steady. The chair shifted under his hands and he yelped, then set it upright, hoping he wouldn’t make any more embarrassing sounds that morning.

So much for being suave and debonair. ;) Thank you for coming by and happy reading! :)

  26. Oh I really liked this and I thought his yelp was endearing. It makes him more real that he's not suave and cool.
