SFFS: Snippet from Fragger #1

SFFS Snippet

FRAGGER - BOOK TWO IN THE AMBASADORA SERIES

Fragger, the second novel in the Ambasadora series, will be coming soon. So here's a snippet from the beginning of the book where we drop in on Sean discussing Sara's recent, life-threatening seizures with Yul, a fragger doctor.

The picture on the left is cropped from the cover of Ambasadora to show a close up of Sara's bio-lights, which will become the large arc in the the remaining books.

Those little lights will change the world....

SNIPPET #1:

"I believe the problem stems from her bio-lights," Yul said.

Sean pictured the small lavender dots of the intra-tattoo swirling under the skin of Sara's arm. It had been too long since just his touch could send them racing and pulsing. Their mesmerizing effects had been as good as a drug during the one night they were intimate. He thought about that night ever since, wondering when they would have the opportunity to be that close again. Fear of losing her twisted his insides like no amount of torture ever could...or had. He pushed the terrors of Palomin out of his mind. They'd just revisit him tonight again anyway.

"How can you know for sure that it's her bio-lights?" Sean asked.

"Because of the pattern, the same pattern each time."

Greenshift, the prequel to Ambasadora, is also available at Amazon.

    There's always a pattern if you know what to look for.

    Pippa, I may be putting FRAGGER and the rest of the series out with a publisher, so it all depends....

    Your enthusiasm makes me feel warm and cuddly--thanks. :)

    To quote The Doctor:
    "I love humans. They always see patterns in things that aren't there." That's why you always seek a second opinion! I love the bio lights, but more interesting to me is they haven't ummm... you know... since the first time?

Are you feeling "stuck" at home in more ways than one? Many of us always said that if only we could stay home we'd finally write that novel, learn a new writing skill, or revise that story or article and get it into the submission process.

VIDEO: Heidi Ruby Miller "Write the Book They Can't Put Down"

VIDEOS "Write the Book They Can't Put Down" is based on my article "The Shifting Grail" from the international award-winning writing guide Many Genres, One Craft , which I co-edited with Michael A. Arnzen . This video captured the version I presented for MGOC's publisher Headline Books and their Zoom Into Books series on April 8, 2020. Using examples of well-known movies and literature, I show how character motivation can dictate pacing and suspense, making your book one readers can't put down. I've also taught an extended version as a class for Seton Hill University's MFA in Writing Popular Fiction program.
