Hi everyone, this weeks Six Sentence Sunday comes from my new release Return To The Sea. You can buy it here if you are interested. Also, make sure to check out all the 6-Sunday people here. He sliced the air with his hand, cutting her off. “You must cease dying this very instant. Whatever must be done to get better, do it.”
Despite her resolve to stay stern, a grin crossed her face. He sounded like such a Mer. Her people, if they could still be called that, didn’t understand how life worked outside of the ocean waters.
'You must cease dying this very instant,' lol. As if it were that easy. Intriguing snippet!
ReplyDeleteI love his voice! You show the contrast of the two character's experiences very well.
ReplyDeleteYes, his voice is powerful and yet almost desperate. "I say you will live because I say so..." Mer or not, he's all male. rawrrr
ReplyDeleteHello fellow HVRWA-er! Nice six. Love him already! Reminds me of the King and I a little bit.
ReplyDeleteAwesome six. You must cease dying, LOL, it's sad and funny all at once.
ReplyDeleteGreat six. Love the tone that is coming across. :)
ReplyDeleteHe definitely has a strong voice. Nice six.
ReplyDeleteGreat voice!
ReplyDeleteLove this premise. Great teaser! Congrats on the release!
ReplyDeleteHis tone is wonderful, forceful and urgent but with the twisting desperation. Fantastic six! Thank you.
ReplyDeletehaha! I love those first lines. Wonderful six.
ReplyDeleteHa! I loved that part of the book - he is so strong!
ReplyDeleteLove her reaction to his crazy demand.
ReplyDeleteStop dying? Is it really as simple as he makes it sound? Great six!
ReplyDeleteHe sounded like such a Mer! GREAT line!
ReplyDeleteooh this gave me shivers. Love a manly man who demands his woman!
ReplyDeleteGreat six! I loved it, "You must cease dying this very instant." That is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else, the contrast between his sense of command and his obvious naiveté gives a wonderful insight into his character.
ReplyDeleteNice six
ReplyDeleteI love how he tells her that she's to stop dying. Like she's got any control of that. Typical male, always demanding the impossible
ReplyDeleteLove it! He sounds like a guy who isn't disobeyed very often! Great six :)
ReplyDeleteBossy but clueless--what a setup for comedy and drama both. The implied collision of worlds in the background just underlines it.
ReplyDeletelol sounds like a typical man... er mer in this case. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI smiled too! Very good characterization of him in this snippett!
ReplyDeleteOne downfall to putting your cover above your snippet: I'm so transfixed by how pretty it is, I almost forget to read!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
This made me smile. Beautiful cover
ReplyDeleteDoes she really have that power, or does he just hope she does? It's always moving when a strong man becomes weak over the person he loves.
ReplyDeleteIf only it were that simple. Great contrast between the characters. I hope she can stop dying, too!
ReplyDeleteHe has such a strong 'Ye old world' ring to his voice. I love it and the cover. On my TBR list for sure. Congrats on the release.
ReplyDeleteSo how DOES it work for her people? :) Inquiring minds need to know!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great voice. Clueless, but commanding. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLoved your six! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHA! The arrogance of men! Love it! BTW, your mermaid's face looks like Amy Winehouse to me. Weird that.
ReplyDeleteHis very decisive command cracked me up. lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat six and the cover is lovely!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the recent release of Return to the Sea. Great premise and beautiful cover. I enjoyed today's six sentences too, especially "sounded like such a Mer."
ReplyDeleteGreat way to show some of their character. Nice six :)
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at his 'command' ... excellent six!
ReplyDeleteJust bought this book yesterday - and it's fab! great six -- great book!
ReplyDeleteGreat interaction here. I love how bossy he is and how she brushes his concerns aside.
ReplyDeleteLOve that. Stop it right now!
ReplyDeleteinteresting snippet, thank you!
