It’s April Fool’s Day, but no foolin’ here, it really is time for #FirstLineFriday! On Friday, authors post the first one or first two lines of a potential work, a work-in-progress, or a published work  on their blog, and title the post #FirstLineFriday (just like this). It’s  a lot of fun, so feel free to join in! You can share your link on my blog comments, or on Rami Ungar’s (the brains behind FLF).

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Twenty-One of Masque of the Vampire – which is available TODAY at all ebook retailers* :

Terror sliced through Katelina and left her legs watery. She backed slowly down the hall and screamed silently for Samael.

What do you think?

What’s your first line for the week?

*This post was scheduled in advance, so this may no longer be the first line of the chapter.

And don’t forget that you can order book 8, Masque of the Vampire, from all major ebook outlets:

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Apple iBooks |Kobo| Smashwords

Spring is in the air! Or it’s supposed to be.

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Twenty of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

Katelina looked for Ark at breakfast. The haughty vampire was nowhere in sight, and she relaxed.

These are as boring as the last two. I may need to break the chapters up differently.

Beware, beware the ides of March! Yeah, okay, so that’s not until next week, but it made a good opening for my  #FirstLineFriday! On Friday, authors post the first one or first two lines of a potential work, a work-in-progress, or a published work  on their blog, and title the post #FirstLineFriday (just like this).

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Eighteen of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

A loud crash startled Katelina and she looked up. Some of the cages had been knocked over.

As you can guess, the action continues over from the previous chapter, so I know it makes it hard for you to judge, but still, what do you think?

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Sixteen of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

Katelina gaped at the grisly sight before her. Nestled in the center of the broken weeds and sprinkled with snow lay the torn body of a boy.

Might seem like it’s giving something away, but since the book description says there’s some murders going on, it’s about time we got one. (It took a LOT longer to get to it in the plot than I initially imagined.)

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Fifteen of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

The next evening, Katelina casually strolled into the larger dining room where the guests had their breakfast. Petta was in attendance, as was the vampire Jorick had pointed out as Möngkedai the night before.

Another set up line. Or pair of lines. In case you can’t tell, by now they are at the mansion and the two week long party is in full swing. Though, this line may move. After I fill in all of the “add this” sections I’ve left in fourteen, it may be too long and need cut up. I guess we’ll see.

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Fourteen of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

Katelina woke suddenly. There was the memory of a voice, though she didn’t know what it had said, or who it belonged to.

All right, I cheated. The first line of the chapter is actually a HUGE spoiler, so I skipped to the next “scene” and took the first line from it. To be fair, I may rearrange where chapter breaks are, and this *could* end up at the beginning.

Anyway, what do you think?

Today’s first line comes from Chapter Thirteen of Masque of the Vampire (available for pre-order with an April 1st release date) :

Katelina woke in the middle of the day. A sound in the hallway drew her attention, and she looked sharply to Jorick.

Yay! It gives us some tension and action.
