The
Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday are blog hops that provide authors with a fantastic opportunity to support one another, promote their books, and just have a good time. Each week authors post 8 sentences from WIPS or published works. It's lots of fun.
Now that the January is more than half over, I have a difficult time promoting a Christmas themed book, but after nearly a year, I've picked up DWARFED and started editing it again, so I've decided to start sharing from it again, at least for a few weeks.
DWARFED is my pride and joy. Is's a YA story about a teenager with
achondroplasia dwarfisam who currently finds life a little tougher than she dreamt possible. I hope you enjoy it! When you're done here, take some time and read some of the great snippets that other participants have published. You'll be glad you did.
Heat
slams into me, drawing the moisture from my skin as I shoulder the door to the farrowing room open. It’s funny how
warm 72 degrees feels after being outside where the air temperature is barely
above freezing.
“Hey
Grace!” Before the door has a chance to swing shut behind me, Al Verne, the
farm manager, jumps out of the nursery crate. “You’re just in time to keep Luke
company while he finishes up in here.
“Morning.”
I dig a plastic sandwich bag out of my skirt pocket, and walk to the crate
where I can see the top of Luke’s battered ball cap. “Hey Luke, Aunt Maggie
wanted me to bring you … What are you doing.”
Farrowing is a word used to describe a pig that's giving birth. A farrowing room is a quiet place where farmers place sows so they can have a few days of peace and quiet to get to know the newborn piglets.
