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.
Cliff Hanger from Safari Moon by Christine Young writing as AnnChristine
"Hello,"
she cooed seductively from his living room. "Will you come out and
play?"
The
skunk stuck a black and white head around the open door to his bedroom. A
second later the animal turned and lifted his tail before disappearing into the
living room.
Solo
was out of bed and pulling on his jeans before the count of five. Yet in that
short time, the lady in question, along with the skunk that was now exploring
his fireplace hearth, had taken over his living room.
The
lithe, supple blond sported an expensive camera, and all the while the lady in
question babbled nonsense words.
"I'm
willing, able, and eager." She posed for him, a pose meant to entice.
