Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m still keeping you all intrigued with the beginning of the series [amazon_link id=”B00BEMN5SC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Changing Tracks (The Dominion Falls Series book 1)[/amazon_link].
In this 8, Jane has met a cowboy who calls himself Johnny after literally running into him on the street. After agreeing to an apology cup of coffee, Jane is filled with growing unease. It’s made worse when he suggests some people would want to forget their whole lives as she has:
His hand shot out to grasp hers tight, pulling it closer; dark eyes leveled at hers. “Ain’t everyone led a privileged life. Some wanna escape, prefer to be unknown, free; don’t you think?”
In a flash he grinned again, releasing her hand. She pulled it back to rub the feeling away. “If that’s true, then they’re fools. Having had memories and a life ripped forcibly from me, I can’t imagine entering such a state willingly. Now I must go.”

How very unsettling. Great show of emotion here. Well done.
Thanks, S.J. This cowboy is definitely an unsettling soul.
Beautiful snippet! It’s so charged with tension. I’m excited to read next weeks. I really liked your powerfully worded dialogue!
Thank you so much, Lauren! I love writing dialogue, so I’m glad you like reading it 😀
Unsettling but also intriguing…really enjoying the unfolding of this story. Great snippet!
Thanks, Veronica! There’s a lot I’m leaving out. I think around Christmas when I’m winding down my 8’s on this one to move onto book 2…I’ll do a giveaway for it. 😀
Interesting. I like her strength. super eight!
Thank you, Charmaine. Jane is definitely a very strong woman for all she has to deal with!
strong woman, strange cowboy. I don’t remember what happened last week, sorry
Last week you didn’t see the cowboy, last week was the H/h interaction, so you didn’t miss a lead-in. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Sue! Hope you come back for more next week.
Oh wow, that’s a bit creepy and unsettling. I’d need to go too!
Not knowing your past doesn’t mean you can escape it–everyone will still remember what you did, after all. Sounds like he has a past–a dark one. Definitely get away from him, Jane!
Great dialogue. I enjoyed this a lot.
She’s dealing with so much but has managed to stay strong! Great snippet!
Seems like he knows a lot more about her and her situation that he should? Regardless, extremely unsettling mood—nicely done! 🙂
Well done on the dialogue here! When you get that part right, the characters truly come to life. Great snippet, Sarah!
Terrific tension. Sounds like he’s hiding some deep dark secrets of his own.
I’m intrigued by the life she had before. Great snippet. 🙂
Great 8! Have I mentioned how much I love the cover? It’s gorgeous with the ladies face fading into the background. 😀
Thank you so much, Karen! I designed all three covers, so I’m very proud of them. 🙂 I’m glad you like it 😀
Hum Johnny seems to know Jane.
A great response from her there.
OK, he creeped me out. I could just hear him saying that to her. Excellent job!
