One more snippet of Something New Under the Sun, the cyberpunk/vampire sequel to A Chip In His Shoulder, where we find Daniel and his father having a little heart to heart: (and Daniel is the one speaking; hard to make that 100% clear in six sentences)
"Pretty ballsy for a man whose entire empire could go down if I’m not alive to press a few buttons every day.”Dad’s eyes narrowed, and his chin rose slightly as he stared me down. I knew that look as well as I knew Liam’s glares and smirks, and I saw right through the son of a bitch. He wanted to call my bluff, but I was alive, wasn’t I? His carefully orchestrated plan to kill me and pin it on Liam, taking out two of the biggest thorns in his side at once, had blown up in his face.“So I have your attention now, right?” I asked.
Want to play along? It’s fun and easy!
1. pick a project – a current WIP, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published
2. pick six sentences
3. post ‘em on your blog or website on Sunday
Yikes! His dad tried to have him killed? That's a lot of conflict! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the first book (A Chip....) and this one sounds like it's just as, um, fun :D as the last.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see 'dad' put in his place by Daniel. Great 6, Lori!
