Lucky Number 7

Fellow writer Amber Clites tagged me this week in The Lucky Seven Meme. Here are the rules: Go to page 77 of your WIP, go to line 7, copy down the next 7 lines and post them as they're written. Tag 7 authors and let them know (I'll let those 7 authors know as soon as I chose them)!


The timing couldn't be better, as I'd love to give you guys a sneak peak at PARADOX. So here you go:

There's no way my dad would be part of a scheme to eliminate Taylor's parents. That's just not something I'm willing to accept. 

He knows what I was almost going to say, anyway. "No, darlin'. I don't think your dad had anything to do with her parent's death. Victor may have been a bit overzealous in testing mind altering drugs on kids, but I don't think he'd resort to murder." 

I want to believe Cooper, but I still have my doubts, even if I don't believe my dad would be a party to something like that. But if my dad isn't responsible for those deaths, then is still the question of whether or not he knew about it. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this little snippet and don't worry, I've given nothing away! PS: The photo I chose to depict lucky number seven is also a clue of what's in store!

Now for the update: I've received back comments from one of my beta readers and expect to get more feedback from the others soon. I am just itching to get PARADOX off to my lovely editor so I can publish already!!

As for the FREE promo, the Amazon/B&N price-bots are not cooperating with me and so at this time, PARALLEL is only available for free on iTunes. I'll keep you guys posted!

Have a great ROW80 week everyone and have a Happy Daylight Savings Time (I hope y'all remembered to move your clocks forward...I didn't)!

  1. It only took me two hours this morning to figure out what time it was - not as bad as the guy at Starbucks though who was an hour early for his coffee, er, shift.

    Love the seven lines - compelling, did Dad kill people? Wow!

    Here's to hoping you move through the beta/edit cycle soon so we can find out. Have a great week Claudia :)

    1. I read for awhile this morning I was like "Why is it already 11!!" Then realized I forgot to change the hour!

      Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Or perhaps it's all just a red herring! I'm glad those there the seven lines on the seventy-seventh page!

    1. Yay! Finished working on the feedback from my other beta, so I'll be ready for yours! Can't wait :)

  4. Fun meme! Loved Parallel, and enjoyed the preview (of a sort) :)! And I totally spaced Daylight Savings. It seems like I do that every year. Or twice a year, I guess.

    1. Thanks! It was a fun meme. I'm glad you liked Parallel...it's so hard to do a follow-up! Ugh!! And why do I have to lose an hour when I have a deadline looming?

  6. I forgot to change the clocks too..and even today still found some that I hadn't changed. Hopefully by fall, when we have to change them again, I will them all set correctly! That Lucky Seven meme is great and the teaser from Paradox is awesome-can't wait to see what comes next! Hope you have a great week :D
