Yay!! My book Driven released on Friday with Decadent Publishing. I am so thrilled to have it out there for people to read. If you're interested, it is available here. Also, the first book in the series, Initiation, is available here.
Okay, in honor of the release I thought I would share 6 more sentences this week from Driven and then next week I would go back to my adult writing.
Here they are:
My name is Rachel Clancy.
Forty-six years ago, life as humanity understood it ended. Armageddon. Well, that’s what we call it, anyway. What other term works as well to describe the day the Vampires and Werewolves slaughtered nearly all of humanity?
For me, all of that happened so long ago I almost never think about it. I’m much more concerned with what just happened and what will be occurring next.
Love the intrigue displayed here- great 6 Rebecca
ReplyDeleteThis is a great opening! I look forward to reading this book. I need to know more about J.

ReplyDeleteGreat opening and congrats on the release!
ReplyDeleteEspecially in a post-apocalyptic world, the best attitude is to live in the present. :) Very well done.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you sure set the stage. Humanity nearly wiped out by supernaturals, what's not to love? Congrats on the release!!! And yep, I'm adding this series to my must read list.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your release. What just happened? Is it worse than the Armageddon?
ReplyDeleteNice intro
ReplyDeleteFirst off, congrats on the release. Second, I have to tell you I'm loving the look of your blog. And that's a great intro. You get us right into her head and we know we're going to have an intimate view of how her life has been, from her eyes with the first person voice you've used. Nice lead in.
ReplyDeleteNice opening. I like that you give us a little back story (not too much) and a teaser at the end. Congratulations on your release.
ReplyDeleteGreat intro! I'm hooked! Congrats on your release!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the release. this is a great story and as far as going back to "adult writing" is concerned...good writing is good writing, YA or otherwise. Don't feel you have to change.
ReplyDeleteNice voice, and I like how you lay the foundation quickly and succinctly.
ReplyDeleteDrawn right in. Awesome set up.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. This is great. I'm anxious to find out what happens next! Great work, Rebecca!

ReplyDeleteOoh...what just happened? Awesome six, one that's described the setting nicely and set up the story with a "what happens next?"
ReplyDeleteDynamite, Rebecca. Wonderful beginning. Success on your books, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove this opening, Rebecca! Just love it!
ReplyDeleteTotally awesome. Hooked and need more
ReplyDeleteInteresting narrative. Good job.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Allure
Congrats on the release, Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteReally intriguing six :)
Great opening! I'm hooked and I know my teenaged daughters will be too. Just enough info--and provocative info at that--to set the stage and make us want to see what happens now. Congrats on the release!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly starts off with a great hook! You're likely to pull LOTS of people in with those first six! Well done! And thanks for the visit to my site!
ReplyDeleteExcellent hook into the world, character and the story! Congrats on the new release!
ReplyDeleteRight down to it! I also like the mixed of both post-apocalyptic with the UF elements.
ReplyDeleteSo much more intriguing than the standard 2012 predictions. Humanity won't even see this coming!
ReplyDeleteWHOA! This just moved to the top of my TBR! Great 6 sentences!
ReplyDeleteExcellent opening. You pull no punches. I look forward to reading this in full. :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat six, it really pulls you in and makes you wonder who's living in this world you've created and who our heroine can trust.
ReplyDeleteGreat hook at the end there. The wip sounds incredible in 1st person. Great 6
