Hookers & Hangers Blogfest, July 16th & July 18th, presented by Falling for Fiction.
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!
We will be judging everyone’s first
three HOOKERS and first three HANGERS. We’ll each pick two winners (MOST
ENTICING HOOKER and MOST IMPOSSIBLE HANGER) making a total of ten
winners! Winners will receive a 10 page (double spaced) critique and a Friday Spotlight on FFF!
Here are a few of my chapter hangers from my newly completely first draft of SUSY Asylum (The Lorne family Vault Series, Book 2). I'll start it off with the song that goes with my number 1 for both posts.
Desiree
closed her eyes, let go of the railing, and instantly felt her weightless body
slide back and take flight.
Desiree
pulled TJ into her like it was the end of the world and there would be no
tomorrow.
All I
knew was I only had a few seconds left before everything went black and I lost
more time, one more way I was at the mercy of Alexandria Lorne and her asylum.
“TJ, please turn around; I’m coming out,”
Desiree said with as much confidence as she could gather and slowly opened the
door.
“The voice in my head tells me we’re in the right spot,” I said and led
the way into the closest building—Building 4C.

Here are a few of my chapter opening hooks from my newly completely first draft of SUSY Asylum (The Lorne family Vault Series, Book 2). Enjoy!
There
were still blood stains on the concrete where he had taken his last steps and
collapsed.
Anna
was a great girl and I think she really liked me, but every time I closed my
eyes to kiss her, I pictured Desiree.
Desiree’s
plan to turn me into a born-again Lorne was underway—and I couldn’t tell if the
idea was brilliant or insane—but she was committed to it.
I sat
silently on Desiree’s empty bed while her mother and sister slept soundly, with
no idea I was in their house.
The
icy hands holding me under the water felt so real, not metaphorical hands, but
real hands, which were then pulling me up.
