Hookers and Hangers Wanna Play?

By

I’m a day behind, but had to join in this one. Part 1 of the Hookers & Hangers Blogfest. For part 1 participants post first sentences from each chapter and for part 2 last sentences of each chapter. You can post as many as you want. Since I’m launching a new book this month, I guess you’re going to read my hookers from Alligators Overhead.

1. Pete chewed on what was left of his right thumbnail, stared up at the round-faced clock above Aunt Lizzie’s desk and watched it tick off his last minutes of freedom.

2. A giant ten-foot-tall Harriet Hadley held Pete up by the shirtfront and shook him until his eyes rolled like marbles in their sockets.

3. They moved as fast as the dark mist allowed–down the path and into the swamp just the way they’d done hundreds of times before.

Any of these HOOK you? Hope so. Here’s some others having fun and trying to hook your interest.

  6. Wow these are great! The voice behind them is so spot on and I love the pictures that come to mind just from the few short sentences. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

  12. These definitely hook me! You have a great way with words. Thanks for sharing 🙂

    I can't decide on a favourite, though the first one does have serious impact.

  13. I love names people put in MG books. Harriet Hadley, SO great. And these hookers really make me want to know what happens to poor Pete, and why he's losing his freedom!
