Martak just stared at her with puzzlement, and she stared back stubbornly.
"You're mad at me, aren't you, Martak?"

PROLOGUE

Ten toes overlapping
Ten fingertips pressing
Five senses blending
Two hearts merging
Minds converging
Each half-soul swirling
In the universe
Unites and pours into
One seamless skin,

A perfect whole.

    I love the prologue, gorgeous. I like that she is feisty, as well. Going to possibly be a journey from the 56 to the promise of the prologue.

    I love the sound of both the prologue and the first sentences! It has a very fairy tale-esque sound to it while the main character also sounds quite spunky! I wonder why Martak is mad. Thanks for hosting :) I hope you have a great weekend!

    That cover looks so sweet and the excerpt you've chosen hints at an interesting exchange.

    Sweet. Reminds me of the scene in the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet where they touch palm to palm.

    I keep seeing things about Ten Fingers Touching, but I haven't read it yet. I need to change that soon! Like yesterday, actually.

Scooby Doo: The Sword And The Scoob

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. 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. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
