Prophetess – Sneak Peek. Chapter 0 (full chapter)
Chapter 0
Twelve Years Ago
“One,” Gains whispered. Inhale. Exhale. The muzzle of his Glock glinted six inches from his face. A bead of sweat dropped into his eye. He blinked it away, watching the wall opposite him as bullets from the intersecting corridor pelted the surface.
“Two.” Inhale. Exhale. The drone of the alarm blaring from every school speaker compressed his eardrums, almost as much as the concussion of the offending gun. He turned his head to the right and made eye contact with his partner, Agent Stevens. Gains flicked two fingers. His gray-haired partner nodded.
“Three.” Gains took two giant steps into the center of the hall, turned and extended his gun back to the corner where he had been standing.
Inch. He moved a little, revealing more of the hall beyond.
Inch. Gunfire. A bullet struck the fully exposed wall next to him…only feet away.
Inch. A little more.
Gunfire. Another bullet.
Inch. The alarm. The sweat.
Inch.
Gunfire.
A man in a silver and black mask crouched near the exit. Gains sighted him down.
Prophetess – Sneak Peek Excerpt
“When I was little,” Kaci said, “my dad would take me fishing all the time. And it didn’t matter how much I scared the fish with my noise or how many times we came back empty-handed, he always said he was proud of me. He always smiled and said he loved me.”
Winter turned to her.
“I haven’t been fishing in a long time.” A tear rolled down Kaci’s smiling face.
“Maybe you should ask him to take you again.”
Kaci shook her head. “No. I hate fishing.”
“Well, I’m sure he’s still proud of you. And I know he loves you very much.”
Kaci’s smile widened. But the tears flowed more freely. “I know.”
Winter grabbed her hand. “And the same goes for me.”
Prophetess – Teaser Blurb
One act of violence is not enough to fulfill Xaphan’s plans. One near escape does not justify Winter’s growing gift.
There is more. She can feel it. The warnings swell within her.
He’s searching for someone. A person of promise…a person of prophecy.
And Winter must find her first.
Preview of the audio-book for Winter.
At long last I can reveal to you just a glimpse of the awesomeness that is the audio performance of Winter. Lindsay Zana is out doing herself. What you hear in this preview is only a small drop of what’s included. There is greatness in here that you’ll have to experience for yourself. And I wouldn’t dare spoil it by giving it away in a preview.
Look for the audio release Summer 2012. We haven’t been able to nail down the exact date yet, but I’m hoping for June.
Enjoy!
