Humpity-Hump...and Things that Go Bump

Guess what day it is...yep. Humpity-hump day. It's come a bit early this week, or so it seems. With the Martin Luther King holiday we've celebrated here in the US, my days have gotten a bit mixed up. Tuesday seems like Monday, and I thought tomorrow was Tuesday, and lucky for me, I've got a calendar that gives me little reminders.

Enough about my confusion. It's a state of mind, they say. I think I've taken up permanent residence in that state.

On with today's hook! This little snippet comes from "Happily Ever After". Here, George Mather is awakened in the middle of the night. His daughter, Rowena, is having a frightening nightmare.

She sat in the center of her big bed, eyes squeezed shut, flailing her arms at some unseen enemy. One high-pitched shriek followed upon another.

George seized hold of her hands. Rowena fought against him, twisting and turning like a creature possessed. When she drew away, he lunged after her, caught her around the middle, and pulled her onto his lap. Her terror gave her strength. It took every bit of effort George could muster to hold her. She squirmed and struggled to free herself from his grasp, but he wrapped his arms tightly around her and whispered her name over and over, refusing to let her go. Gradually the horror diminished. Her shrieking turned to shuddering cries. The cries at last became faint whispers…and finally subsided into silence.

Happy Hump Day!

I love Wednesdays! It's hump day, we're half-way through another busy week, and I have an opportunity to share a little snippet from one of my books. Hopefully this "Hump Day Hook" will catch your attention and make you want to read more!

In this quick excerpt, Anne Hopkins has been out to the garden -- dragon-chasing. George Mather and his daughter, Rowena, hear her return to the house. Together, they hurry downstairs.

The kitchen doors swung back and forth on their hinges, then burst open again. Anne Hopkins emerged, her dress muddied, the lace edging torn from one sleeve, and a ruffled flounce dangling loose at the bottom of her skirt. Twigs and pine needles clung to her untamed spikes of hair. Her blue eyes glowed as if possessed by some unseen force. “Got him.” She beamed a triumphant smile and beckoned toward the kitchen. “Come, see,” she urged.
