First Sentence Friday!

CHAPTER TWENTY

I didn’t want to be there when ***** drifted  ************** to **** and neither did AJ.

Don’t try to figure it out. There are actually several words missing from this sentence.  I’m trying to be sneaky with how I do those asterisks.  Don’t assume they equal the number of letters in a word or words.  Isn’t this fun?  No?  Frustrated?  Gotta know what happens?

Just click on one of those convenient links for a copy.  It’s available as a e-book too, although last time I checked, Amazon had the paperback priced close to the e-book version.  A bonafide deal!

    If I hadn’t already pre-ordered your book, I’d have to do it now! I couldn’t take the suspense… <3 <3 <3

      Then, I’m doing my job – which is to keep up the suspense! <3 <3 <3

    I had wondered about the number of asterisks. 🙂 You are a wily one!

      And annoying maybe, but only when it comes to making sure no one figures things out! 😉

    You are evil. Don’t get me wrong, I like that in a person…. ; )

      I’m liking these characterizations! Evil and wily. I’ll take it! 😉

    I’m so freaking happy that I finally have my computer back, I’m not even frustrated by those pesky asterisks. Tomorrow … then maybe I’ll be calling you names beyond wily and evil, but I’ll be able to tell myself it’s only a day till chapter 21 shows up and even I can show that much patience. Right? Right! Maybe.

      Wow, you didn’t have your computer? Yikes. I thought you were simply laying low because you thought a shark was swimming nearby. 🙂

      You’ll be finding names for me, I’m sure of it. Chp 21 will be just as aggravating as these last two. Actually, I’ve got to look ahead and see if I have any more of these asterisks chapters…everyone will have decided I’m a real a** by then.
