Well, hopefully this week will go better than last, and maybe Google won't eat comments to the blog post randomly (and in great quantities). Welcome back to another week of Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday crews! If you haven't already, catch up with my previous snippet, where Aston found himself on a prison planet and accosted by a pale, naked giant running towards him.
And now, without further adieu, I present the continuation of my Aston West novel, Friends in Deed. Enjoy!
His makeshift mallet towered above his head, a boulder strapped into the fork of a tree branch. I jumped aside just before the weapon crashed down.
One of his eyes grew crazy-wide, while the other glazed over. Saliva dribbled from his lips. “I am King of the Wooded Realm! You dare invade my territory?”
This wasn’t a fight I planned to stick around for. This beast was obviously psychotic, and they were always the worst type of violent.
Obviously not too friendly, and armed to boot? Aston better figure a good way out of this one...and fast!
Hope you enjoyed the snippet, and if you want to catch the rest of the book, it's available over on Amazon along with all of my other titles. Please check out the other Snippet Sunday folks and the Weekend Writing Warriors as well! See below for more info on Friends in Deed.
Aston West was condemned to life on the prison planet Lycus IV for
spitting in a man’s face. Being forced to reside with the likes of
murderers and thieves, he owes his freedom to Lars and Elijah Cassus,
who orchestrated an escape. Now the twin brothers call in the favor and
force him to return with their team to Lycus IV to rescue crewmate Leah
Jordan.
Aston discovers Leah’s desire to leave the twins forever, but Lars and
Elijah use fear and intimidation to control their group and no one
leaves alive. It’s a case of kill or be killed and Aston will need to
become more like the brothers than he ever wanted.
