Every Tuesday Vicki at I'd Rather Be At the Beach hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?
* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This is from the E-ARC of the current book I'm reading...
First Chapter... .
The call comes at three a.m. The jagged ring of the bedside telephone tearing a hole in our sleep.
I reach out a hand to silence it.
"Hello," I whisper.
Static whispers back to me. I press the phone harder to my ear.
"Who is this?"
Teaser...
The line fizzes again and he's gone.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
Another positive aspect for me, I love narratives in the present tense. Here's mine: https://francebooktours.com/2019/02/12/teaser-tuesday-the-first-noel-at-the-villa-des-violettes/
