“Ouch! Son of a—” Zach ground his teeth, bit back the word hovering on the tip of his tongue.

“This looks amazing!”

He spun around to see his sister standing in the doorway.

“Why the scowl?” she asked.

“Oh, I don’t know, could be because I almost nailed my thumb to this blasted crucifix.” He turned back around and pounded his hammer on the rough timber.

7 Writer Challenge

The rules: Go to either page 7 or page 77 and starting with line 7, post the next 7 lines and then challenge 7 others to do the same.

I chose an excerpt from “By the Blue Moon” (Book 1 of Blue Moon Magic Series) for my 7 line challenge:

It had been over a hundred years since a red she-wolf lived to take her rightful place in the clan. A red-haired princess brought the promise of a new day; a day when the beast men clan could come out of hiding and further their kind with human mates. It was a time when caution would be thrown to the full moon, with only the strong surviving.
A human mate wouldn’t be enough to satisfy Justin, and he knew it. He’d been born for this time, to take the lead of the clan and guide the young wolves in the hunt for their mates during the ancient mating ceremony. Their mating would last longer than a human’s lifetime for the wolfen who claimed a human as their lifemate.
As the eldest of the Blue Moon Sisters, Chastity had been promised to him as she made her way from her mother’s womb into the world.

I’m challenging the following 7 authors to do the same:
Anna Kittrell
Ann Voss Peterson
Alice Robertson Clary
Karen Larson
Honey Jans
Penny Turpen James
Maxine Douglas
