My Teaser:

When darkness settled, I went to the tavern. The table by the window happened to be occupied by a scar-faced man who seemed to be in deep sleep.

    That's an intriguing teaser, and really makes you wonder what the characters are going to do next. Good choice!

    And I haven't been to your blog for ages, and I really like the new design! I think it works a lot better, being not quite so dark. It's really spiffy! (And of course it doesn't hurt that blue is my favourite color, ha!)

    Anyway. Great teaser. My own is at Bookishgal.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane.
