WonHundred Wednesdays

There was a legend about the well in the garden, but I didn't believe it. Magic was something made up. Something used to scare little kids.

I laughed as I looked down inside to try and catch my reflection. What I saw stopped me. It was an old book that sat in the bucket.

I looked around to see if anyone was watching, then turned the crank. The pulley protested, not having been used for decades. Once it was up high enough, I pulled the book out and immediately dropped it.

The book was alive, begging me to open it.

WonHundred Word Wednesdays

The old photos made her conscious of her age, of how much time had passed. She pulled her sweater closer to her and looked out at the gardens of her estate. It had been too long since she’d walked through them. Today that’d change.

The front door opened and she waited anxiously to see who had come to visit. She heard giggles and it lifted her heart.

She smiled as her great-grandchildren ran into the room. Their smiles reminded her of her own children. They would bring life into the estate again. Something that had been needed for years.

WonHundred Word Wednesdays

Under normal circumstances he would speak his mind, but, with a gun against his head, he chose to keep his mouth shut. It wasn’t that it would do much good anyway. They’d already made their decision. He was the weak link in the chain according the chief, and that was grounds for death.

He swallowed and waited for the final verdict. He had given some very valuable information that could help him survive, but the chief was taking his time getting back to the group. The mocking insults he had to endure made the time drag on.

The phone rang.

WonHundred Word Wednesdays

As the policeman pulled back the sheet, she knew immediately that it wasn’t her husband. She looked up at the officer and shook her head before stepping back.

The police turned away from her and continued checking the scene for evidence, clearly dismissing her.

The woman hurried away from the scene and pulled out her phone. The man had promised perfect results, but clearly he had missed his mark.

She smiled at the response she got as she climbed into her sleek black car. He’d found the target and would be making his move. The police would be busy tonight.

Underground Rose by Sara Burr

Today I get to introduce you to a new book called Underground Rose. I read this book a while back and loved it. I'm so excited to have the chance to be part of Sara's blog tour!

Here is the synopsis:

After her surprise discovery of a mystical gift, fourteen-year-old Rose Wilson thinks her life is ruined. It turns out she comes from a long line of gifted women, and despite her protests, Rose’s mom ships her off to her grandmother’s house to spend the summer learning about her family’s well-hidden secrets. To make matters worse, Rose is expected to carry out this tradition alongside her mousy, bookworm cousin, Megan. What a waste of a summer.

With some effort, Rose and Megan manage to find common ground and by the time they get home, they’re working together to adjust to their new life. But everything is turned upside down again when their families are exposed by witch hunters who call themselves The Witches’ Hammer. With killers on the loose, their tiny town isn’t safe anymore. Rose’s entire family is fragmented and forced to flee through a network of hiding places, dubbed The Witches’ Underground Railroad.

As she journeys to the sea, Rose learns more and more about who she really is. The closer she gets to her destination, the more danger she encounters, until she is forced to make the ultimate decision: follow her family’s edict of non-violence and become an orphan, or save her mom’s life.

Sounds awesome, right?? It really is! You can pick up your own copy here:

About the Author:

Sara has been entranced by the written word for as long as she can remember. The daughter of a chool teacher, she fell in love with books as soon as she could read them. She wrote her very first story, about a girl who ran away and hid in her cousin’s lilac bush, when she was just eleven. Although her stories have grown more complicated and less petulant since then, Sara still loves to entertain kids with her words.

When she isn’t writing, Sara has a big family to keep her busy: a husband who is her other half, and four children who are wonderfully individual. They live next to a beautiful lake in a tiny town with no street lights. Sara spends lots of time taking care of little superheroes. She likes to camp with her family, enjoys traveling, and hopes to see the Northern Lights someday.
