Another Hump Day Hook!
Since you’ve had weeks upon weeks of Changing Tracks to read…I thought I’d give you some variety by bringing back Rose Red the badass bounty hunter in Into a Mirror Darkly.
Red has just shown off her skill with her new bow. Wulfie, her secret lover, has been off on a mission for 8 months, and couldn’t even communicate with her for 2 months. So she’s been a little…pent up:
Wulfie picked up an arrow. It twirled in his fingers before he lifted it to look down the length. Once he’d finished, he inspected first the feathers and then the point. “Well done, Red.”
“Should be. I had months to work on them, plenty of frustrations to use to focus on making each arrow perfect. I believe I have close to two hundred in my closet right now.” She gathered the remaining arrows and carried them back into the house.
“That’s a lot of frustration.”
“It certainly is.

I loved the snippet. She certainly wasted no time while he was away. And yes, it’s a lot of frustration in the closet 😉
Ha ha, it’s amazing how productive a girl can be when she has no distractions of the intimate kind! Great hook, thanks for sharing.
Nice snippet! I read the title as “track changes”. I think my brain might be dead from two straight days of doing edits LOL
LOL…yep, that’s a lot of frustration. Poor girl. Hope she’ll soon be feeling better with Wulfie back!
That’s a new way of measuring the depth/level of frustration!
Red obviously has a lot of energy available to her! I like her self reliance. Got to love a woman who knows how to gather nuts for the winter;) It makes me want to see what is going to happen to make her use the arrows and how she’s going to spend her energy now that her secret lover is back.
Great snippet…it hooked me right away!
I was think that’s a lot of frustration, too. Great hook! 🙂
Great hook, and I love that cover!
Well, I’m hooked. Why is she frustrated and what are the arrows for?
Love it! Release her pent up frustrations by creating something so….phallic!
Lol. Love it!
excellent
I used to love making arrows 🙂 Very nice snippet.
Very nice excerpt. Not to worry thought, we love Changing Tracks! 🙂
That is a lot of frustration. Hmmm, the answer to working some of them off seems near…
I wonder how she’ll work that frustration off?? 😉 Nice job.
I love strong female characters. I like Red already. A closet full of perfect arrows…and tons of pent-up frustration…Wulfie better be careful, lol.
