Teaser Tuesday

Guess who's back?

Yeah, I missed you too ;)

Now, to business.

Eons ago, I introduced you to David and his wife Elle at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, where they met a confused and powerful boy named Jon. Unfortunately I've taken those teasers down, in case you first time visitors are curious. But I do have something for you.

Today, I give you Giaan, another pivotal character in my book. If you've read my half-arsed synopsis (which I wrote under 30 minutes) then you know Giaan is the character who makes a certain choice in the hopes of doing the right thing. But all he accomplishes is tearing a world at peace asunder and putting his friends, those he holds dear to him, in danger.

This teaser is from Episode 2, entitled "Welcome to the Family Business".

Snippet starts:

*Snip snip!*

Snippet ends.

There you go. Hope you liked it.

PS: If Kathy is commenting, can she please confirm if I won the sunshine award thingy? :D

  2. Oh no!!! How sad. :(

    I wanted to point out this line, too:

    "Raza brushed the tears from his cheek as though they were bothersome flies."

    I really liked that for some reason. Great teaser! <3

  8. Crazy dad + distraught MC + brave older brother = WIN for me. I really like the dynamic between your characters. It feels very real to me.

  10. Wow, this snip was full of emotion and great description. I echo Becca's sentence she pulled out. I loved the comparison with flies. It shows me so much about his actions there. Plus, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it gives me insight into his thoughts/feelings. I know when I brush at flies I'm annoyed...and it's the same annoyance I have when I cry in front of people. Great snip!!

  12. Laura, you're right. Raza was annoyed, which was why I compared his brushing action to brush away bothersome flies. He hardly ever cries; he's always the logical, strong-willed brother, so you can imagine how he felt at that point.

    @ Everyone else, thank you, thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Much appreciated
