I've worked too long and too hard on Judy's last three books. So here is my plan. All I want to do is play. I'm going to tease your senses, lure you in, and keep you pouncing.
Every week, I am posting the first paragraph of a chapter from my book. Your comments will be welcome.
This week I am offering up The first paragraph of Chapter Four from Sportster's Adventures. If you are new, check out my previous posts to catch up.
SPORTSTER'S ADVENTURES
CHAPTER
FOUR
Stirring to the
warmth of the morning’s rays, I moved my tail gingerly and licked my injury. Only
a scratch. I jumped down from my stump and
proceeded on a secluded path toward Jawbreaker’s camp. Everyone still slept. Again, I stole over to
the kibble and water. I drank first, then nibbled on the few nuggets left in
the bowl. Jawbreaker, wakened by the sound, raised his head. His nose, more bloody than black, twitched.
Red streaks tracked down his chin through his grimy hair and disappeared
between his legs. He started to rise,
paused, and then stared as I licked his bowl clean. The dog turned to the man who didn’t move, as if looking for back up. I winked, enjoyed another long
drink, and moseyed back to my perch in the forest.
