I probably should have chosen something from FORESHADOW to post today, but I'm just having way too much fun writing OUROBOROS! It was so hard to choose. Here's six sentences from OUROBOROS, book one of The Zayin Chronicles. I just wrote this earlier this week, so please keep in mind that it's unedited.
“Is it getting hot in here?”
Zac coughed. “I think I smell smoke.”
Glancing around, I noticed a light in one corner of the library that hadn’t been there a moment ago. As we watched in horror, an entire bookcase burst into flames. One by one, the fire began to encroach on the other bookcases—and it was heading for us.
Here's another six from Ouroboros, book one of The Zayin Chronicles!
I stumbled and tripped as he towed me across the uneven ground.I felt a shaking beneath my feet and Zac shoved me roughly to the ground, covering my body with his.My screaming began anew.I felt as though something was trying to rip my very soul out.Zac kept his arms around me, ignoring my struggling.I felt a strong sucking sensation, and then we were both tossed across a rolling grassy knoll.
Here's another six sentences from "Ouroboros", book one of The Zayin Chronicles!
“Well, I never wanted to get involved in—in—whatever this is!” I jumped up and headed for the door. There was a large, muscled man blocking my way, his back turned to me. I reached out to tap his shoulder to ask him to move . . . and my hand passed through him. I froze and turned toward Zac, wide eyed. “Am I dead?” I whispered, my voice trembling.
Since I’ve shared two excerpts from Ouroboros, book one of The Zayin Chronicles, the past two weeks, I thought I would share my “casting” of Zac Cohen. Yes, this is the “hot guy” that my main character Rhiannon sees upon awakening in the hospital.
I chose actor/model Jordan Nichols to “play” Zac. He’s had some bit parts on Disney Channel shows. Here’s clip of one. He enters at about 3:10, if you want to fast-forward.
Now he has a couple of movies coming out. I couldn’t find a clip or trailer for one and the other just looked so bizarre I didn’t bother. But, here’s another picture instead:
Isn’t he cute? Anyway, onto why I chose him as Zac. Zac’s described as really tall, with sandy brown hair and blue eyes. It actually took me a long time to choose someone as my Zac visual, but when I saw Jordan Nichols, I just knew he would be perfect!
What would you like to see next Monday? My casting of Rhiannon? Or should I return to my Foreshadow archives? Let me know in a comment!
Here's another six sentences from "Ouroboros", book one of The Zayin Chronicles:
I watched in shock as a blade appeared, glinting in the middle of his chest. The boy’s eyes opened wide, and he slumped to the floor. I began to scream shrilly, my shrieks reverberating through my head as they bounced around the narrow enclosure behind me. Another boy stood behind him, his sandy hair gleaming even in the poor lighting. He twisted the blade in the fallen boy’s body, and then cruelly jerked it out. He calmly pulled a cloth from his pocket and cleaned the sharp edge that was now dull from a dark substance.
