It’s time again for Six Sentence Sunday, the cool group where, every Sunday, participants post six random sentences. It can be from a WIP, from a published manuscript, or something you never plan to publish.
This week’s six sentences are from my Work in Progress, Ties of Blood.
(working cover)
Worried about her mother’s safety, Katelina has just announced to Jorick (her vampire boyfriend) that she wants to visit her – and she expect Jorick to go with her! Of course, he isn’t happy about it….
| “Checking to see that she’s all right and introducing us are hardly the same thing!”
Katelina’s hands went to her hips. “What? Would you rather just sit at her window like a vulture and peer in on her?” He nodded encouragingly, a brief light of hope in his eyes. “Actually, yes, that’s what springs to mind.” She continued to glare at him stubbornly and he snapped, “Katelina, I do not meet parents!” |
Hope you enjoyed these six sentences. Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to check out the other participating authors!

There is just something so funny about the thought of taking your vampire boyfriend to met the parents. It really makes me giggle. The sitting outside like a vulture comment and the way he nods so hopefully made me giggle to.
Great job.
