Today I'm writing this with a broken thumb. Bummer, right? Well, it's my own fault: Saturday I had an accident while closing my door. I absentmindedly pushed it with my left thumb and I did so with too much force. *Snap* is all I heard. Next thing you know I'm screaming in pain.
But the show must go on.
I'll be sharing four first lines from my YA Fantasy/Paranormal/ Romance novel, PORTRAYER.
Here are the rules:
We all know how important the first and last lines are in every chapter. This blogfest will hopefully get your HOOKERS and HANGERS polished making it impossible for readers to put down your book and leaving them begging for more!
On July 16th, post the first sentence from each chapter.
On July 18th, post the last sentence from each chapter.
Post as many as you like!
This amazing Blogfest is hosted by the gals at Falling for Fiction. Much love to them. <3
Now, without further ado, the first sentences of my novel.
#
Chapter 1:
It's been five years since my mom took my life.
Chapter 2:
Marc's blood spurts across my face but I won't dare let go.
Chapter 3:
Maximillion Draconst lives in a hot pink high heeled shoe.
Chapter 4:
I raise my palm toward the sky and issue a bolt of lightning at the plane.

WOW! These are great and I'm so intrigued now.
The Chapter 3 hooker makes me really, really happy. :-)
Bummer about your thumb, that sounds really painful. I LOVED your #3 hook so fun!
Great samples dude. I love them all.
Chapter 1 is awesome!
BTW Maximillion Draconst is a great name.
Sorry about your thumb!
Your hooks are fab, and number three is just so incredibly odd that I want to keep reading!
Incredible! You are awesome at hookers ;)
Awesome job, Tyson. First one had me hooked immediately and the others didn't disappoint!
And dude, ouch! Bet you'll be a lot more careful when you're shutting doors from now on.
Well, you've certainly got me hooked!
