Anyway, I decided to post the beginning snippet of my YA contemporary novel VIGILANTE NIGHTS as I sold it (bear in mind that it might change in edits).
Does this draw you in? Or do you need to read more?
Silver's babbling continued at
racecar speed. Seriously, I didn’t want to hear about the new target of my
sister’s lust. The fallout of her
last crush with one of my friends
still jacked me up. Memories surged and my gut pinched. Ex-friend now.
A blissful moment of silence
descended. I peeked at my twin in the passenger seat. Brow puckered, she sucked
on the straw to her daily iced mocha. My gaze slid past the speedometer
clocking me at ten over in a fifty-five zone.
“Something feels weird tonight,
Lucas.” Her tone turned somber. “Maybe you ought to slow down.”
“Meaning?” I felt her
apprehension, a feeling I’d grown used to over the last week since she’d kicked
Raymond—our collective ex—to the curb.
She shrugged. “Just a weird vibe
I’ve had since we left the mall.”
“Raymond still bothering you?”
Silver looked out the passenger
window. She didn’t have to hide the tears I
felt from her in our weirdo twin bond. Hoping to lighten the mood, I gunned
the car on a clear stretch of the frontage road. Despite her heebie-jeebies, I
knew she loved the speed as much as I did.
