Tuesday Teaser/Teaser Tuesday #38

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Here are the rules: Grab your current read. Open to a random page. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page, and BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!





It was the facial hair that really gave it away. At sixteen, he hoped that his dirty face would add a couple of years since his scruffy chin was sure to speak the truth.
Class Collision by Annette Mackey








And now, for my Tuesday Teaser...For those of you who don't know, I do my Tuesday Teasers differently (and yes, I add this disclaimer every time). Each week, I feature two sentences (or more) of something I've written, leave it up all day, then remove it around 11 PM. You're welcome to comment on it, love it, hate it, or simply read it at your leisure...if you'd like, of course. This week's teaser is from my current WIP, RACE.






The Tuesday Teaser is down! Check back next week for more :)

  12. Love them both but as usual I am most taken with your teaser. This character strong and self-assured and a bit perturbed at having Burningman having the ability to test that. Very cool!

  14. Here is my teaser from Lipstick in Afghanistan by Roberta Gately (Page 1):

    "Do you hear it?" The voice was almost a whisper.

    Elsa held her breath, and then she heard it too, a faint rustling of footsteps over twigs and leaves. Out of the corner of her eye, she glimpsed several shadowy figures darting through the trees, and when she turned, she saw a glint of sunlight reflecting off the barrel of an assault rifle.

    There was no denying it—the Taliban had found them.

    Oh, Jesus! she thought. We'll never escape.

    Elsa knew the Taliban's ruthless hatred; the death and destruction they wrought was undeniable.

    Seized by a sickening wave of fear, she wanted to cry or throw up, but there was no time. She tried to catch Parween's eye, but her friend was looking back, intent on finding the source of the sound.

    "Run!" someone shouted, and suddenly, the chase was on.

  17. Once again your teaser has me itching for RACE. And once again, RACE has me more intrigued than the already published book (not that the pubbed book is bad, but I really want to read RACE at this point).

  26. What is Class Collision about? Also re your comment on my blog. I've already finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson (just haven't posted the review yet). I really liked it.
    I didn't like Lonely Hearts Club that much either. I liked it okay, but was disappointed.
