Since I’ve not written much this week – yes, bad me – here’s the first paragraph of Gambit. 🙂
The truth-crawler burrowed into her neck. Chae cursed, gritting her teeth against the bite and slice of its pincers. Clicks and whirrs filled the silent room as the crawler’s synthetic leg joints worked its bulbous body under her skin. Chae stared up at the strip of light above her, focusing, denying the raw surge of pain. The things she did for money.
Now *I* have the creepy crawlies.
Oh yeah, creepy crawlies on my neck = instant shudder.
Holy smokes. They’d better be paying DAMNED well.
Whoa. Way to draw the reader in. Great tone, great mood. Intriguing!
Ok, Going and getting this one now. Sounds a bit sci fi!
I love this book. Six lines and I want to read it all over again. 😀
Ouch ! I hate creepy crawlies…
