Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop for everyone who loves to write ... and read. From
Fire and Amulet, Book 1 of my fantasy series, The Tear Stone
Collectors. And now the SundaySnippet.
Excerpt:
Deneas opened her eyes to a darkness unbroken by even the faint glow of the crescent moon. Unease permeated her being. Her mother’s presence filled the empty house. The echo of words hung in the air, elusive and refusing to be captured. Her finger grazed her cheek where warmth from the light touch of a kiss still lingered.
The dream was obviously a warning, but of what remained unknown. The nightmares had been coming more frequently since the new moon, growing stronger each night. “Tonight’s was the worst.” Although she didn’t mean to do so, the words came out in a whisper.

I haven't been to a reader event for a loooong time. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed them. Niiice buildup of tension in this quiet scene. That last line is a grabber!
