Get Hooked from the First Sentence

Unfortunately, I had zero chance of earning a 2017 Goodreads "Best Book of the Year" title since 1.) I didn't publish one, 2.) I'm an indie author and not traditionally published, and 3.) I've only got a handful of reviews. But let's pretend otherwise, and let's also pretend that Goodreads had room for two more on its list. Here's my tribute:



BEST YOUNG ADULT
ADVENTURE-ROMANCE
by Stacia Leigh
Riding with the Hides of Hell*

"Whenever Will heard his mom's brusque voice in his head, it was time to crack open a cold one."

BEST YOUNG ADULT
SMALL TOWN LOVE STORY
by Stacia Leigh
Dealing with Blue

"Everything was going along fine, which had Suzy relaxing against the vinyl booth cushion with a real smile tugging at her lips."











Did the first lines make you want to read more? I hope so, and if they did, you'll find the books at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Etsy, and for check out at the King County Library System.

* Riding with the Hides of Hell has a new title: Burnout!
