Six Sentences from Rock Bound


Jake saved Annie’s life. Now slaves on that God-forsaken rock, the Moon, how will they survive?

This excerpt is from the first chapter.  Rock Bound is now available in paperback at Create Space and Amazon, and in multiple e-book formats at Smashwords.  See my website for more information.

Paul’s head lolled forward, the charred hole still smoking, and Annie fell to the ground trying to cradle him. She sobbed, crying “No! No! No!” Crystal’s arms were around her, as she sat on the ground, clutching her dead husband. People were trying to run but there was nowhere to go. Annie felt Jake fall atop her and Crystal. Oh, my God! He’s dead, too!

  3. Nice! There is so much happening, and all so fast. We definitely feel her frantic confusion. I bet there is no time for real fear... Until later, when it will all come crashing down upon her... :)
