Welcome, Sixers! Thank you so much for visiting the Weird, the Wild, & the Wicked. I'm grateful for your visit and your comments. I realize there are a lot of good authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list and I appreciate that you've taken the time to visit my blog.
Today I'm offering a snippet of my newest release, Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack, available now from Siren Publishing. The heroine Julianna Morris found herself on her front porch, scratched, bruised, and her hair full of twigs. She can't remember the last few days and spends the whole day trying to figure out what happened. In this snippet, she just woke up from a 'dream'.
Julianna held
her breath, trying to figure out what she’d seen. A clear vision of hunting a
lone raccoon surfaced, complete with the scents of blood and fear. She recalled
the taste of the raccoon’s fury and desperation, and the texture of its fur
along her tongue as it fought the grip of her jaws. Then she remembered the
sweetness of its flesh as she fed from its warm belly.
Panic and dread
swelled with her revulsion.
“Oh my God,” she
whispered, horrified, “I’m a monster!”
Well that might put a damper on your day. Thanks so much for stopping by. There are several authors I like to read on the Six Sentence Sunday list and a few of them are: Dianne Hartsock, Zee Monodee, Cara Bristol, Goran Zidar, and Gem Sivad. Happy reading. :)
Not a monster exactly. But it would be a tad disconcerting to remember eating a raccoon's belly. Great description here. I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteThat moment you realize you're a werewolf. Great six!
ReplyDeleteHer realization of what she did felt so realistic. Great six! :)
ReplyDeleteEep! What a horrible realization!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great six.
ReplyDeleteGreat details. Love the raccoon part.
ReplyDeletePowerful moment!
ReplyDeleteGreat description. Really well done. I can't wait for more.
ReplyDeleteI can see where that memory might take some getting used to. Nice Job. By the way, I love your title.
ReplyDeleteUgh! Not the way I'd want to wake up. Very descriptive!
ReplyDeleteGreat title and very intense description. Love this six!
ReplyDeleteGreat descriptions. I could almost taste that raccoon myself! Yuck. I'd be disgusted, too.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so scary! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteIt would be so hard to come to terms with that. I felt her fear and revulsion at what she did. Great writing. :)
ReplyDeleteFear and horror revealed in theses six! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say-- What a title!
I'll lay odds it's more than a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteUhm...yeah. I'd be reaching the the Pepto and Listerine! ;-) Fun six today, Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteIs she experiencing a wet dream? 1 in 10 of those types of dreams have been reported as nightmares, according to the Wet Dream Animal Counsel of America. Nice six!
ReplyDeleteEewww... a raccoon. That's the real reason right there that people don't have a romatic ideal of a werewolf :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely description though, particularly the "scents of blood and fear" part.
Oh my God, that poor raccoon! And poor her! I feel bad for the creature, cuz it's been eaten, but now I wanna know what's going on with her...
ReplyDeleteUh oh, those sort of dreams are never good! Great grabber.
ReplyDeleteOMG! She's a were-hillbilly eating road kill!! LOL Vividly portrayed six and congrats on your release. I've watched it rapidly climb up Bookstrand's bestseller list with a tinge of envy.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the conflict of the nature within with shifter stories and you nailed it here with the sensory memory. Excellent writing, Siobhan!
ReplyDeleteIs it okay for me to say "eww, gross!"? Lol. Vivid description there! :)
ReplyDeleteGood, vivid description. I get a sense of what Julianna's going through!
ReplyDeleteThis is so vividly "in the moment" I actually gagged a little. Awesome writing!
