Cliff Hanger Saturday is a place where you can post your favorite "cliff hangers" of all time or just good writing at the end of the scene. (if not your own work, please give credit to the author and the book.) We all know, a scene should not end with anyone going to sleep. YAWN. But sometimes we see this. If the characters go to sleep, so do we.
So share favorites or write one here.
I have been posting excerpts for advertising and Rogue Phoenix Press. If you are writing an excerpt for something make sure that excerpt ends making the reader turn the page and read on. Do we want the reader up all night? Of course we do.
Highland Song is now available: Woo hoo!
Ayr, Scotland
1514
Lainie MacPherson let the crumpled wanted poster drop
to the ground. Her stomach knotted and fear snaked down her spine. Beneath the
shadows of the hooded cape she wore, Lainie searched the room for her enemies.
Every man here fit that description.
Forced into a trap of her own making, out of courage,
friendless, and terrified Lainie did the only thing she could think of to bring
the pig Bertram to his knees.
She would steal the temptingly displayed secret
papers that were on the table in front of her. Papers she hoped showed troop
movements--papers stamped with the King's seal--papers she could hand over to
her brother, Hawke.
