The black
mask is too close to my face. At least I think it’s a mask. Could
be any number of things blocking my sight. But it’s affecting my equilibrium,
as well as my ability to breathe. I can’t get air in fast enough through
the fabric, causing panic to claw its way up my throat. I need to calm
down. Slow breath in, slow puff out. Don’t let the panic get to
you. . I turn my head to the left, hoping that’ll allow more air to sneak
in the sliver by my chin. Oh, that helped. Relaxing my shoulders I try and
piece things together. Nothing so far. Blank. Empty memories.
The car I’m riding in turns, and my body, that had been rocking, is almost
thrown off the narrow seat. It takes all the strength I have left to keep me
from tumbling off. My back settles once we’ve completed the turn. Where are we?
And more importantly, where are we going? My body aches, like it was hit
by something. What am I missing?
I can just
make out the tiny bit of light at the bottom of my mask, but not enough to see
what’s just beyond it. Focus. Focus on that light. I try to keep my
lids from closing, yet they are heavy, and itching, begging me to let them seal
shut. Was I drugged? I close my eyes, and the tiny bit of light is forgotten.
~Meet Em!~
Em Perna is a sarcastic 35
year old with a penchant for hot pink hair. She was born in sunny
Florida, but has moved several times, while following her husband as he
advances in his career. When she’s not writing, she’s kept quite busy by being
a wife, a boo-boo kisser, a football team mom, a dog walker, teacher of ABC’s,
home chef, chauffeur, and a Superhero’s personal assistant.
She’s an avid reader, but prefers a romance novel above
all others.
Em will be awarding a $20 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $15 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn host.
Thank you for hosting
ReplyDeleteWhat draws you to this genre?
ReplyDeleteI love a escaping into a romance novel. I love the butterflies I feel when the two (or three) characters connect and fall in love. It's like you're 13 years old again, and that feeling when your secret crush walks by. When I started Grant Me I wasn't planning on the mystery being added into the book. But as I finished chapter one, I said to myself "huh...guess I'm going that route'. lol
Deletethank you for the chance to win :)

DeleteWow, this is an exciting yet frightening excerpt.

ReplyDeleteWhat is a boo boo kisser?
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I have 5 yr old twins. They refer to any injury (scratch/bruise) as a boo boo. And as I'm their mom and my kisses are magic (taking away the pain) I call myself a boo-boo kisser. Thanks for asking.
