1. Lucky 7 Game (yes, I'm doing a meme!)

I hardly EVER do memes, but this one looks fun (plus, I was tagged by superstar Bookalicious Pam, so I kinda had to, lol. :D

Anyway, here are the rules:

Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript
Go to line 7
Copy down the next seven lines/sentences as they are--no cheating
Tag 7 other authors

And now, without further ado, here's the excerpt from THIRST, my most current WIP (work in progress). This story is set in the desert:

“I’ll find out what’s going on and let you know. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be okay.” With that, she leaves.
I remain inside the tent for a moment, gathering my strength. Then I head out, back into the rapidly cooling evening air. Scattered echoes of laughter and murmured talking reach me as I head toward the fire, already flickering brightly. Nighttime on the grounds is my favorite—the air is cooler and the tribe spends our awake time singing and laughing, huddled around small fires.

And now I'm supposed to tag 7 people. So, uh, here we go, lol:

Gwen Hayes
Lara Zielin
Christine Bell
Heidi Kling
David Bridger
Larry Benjamin
Steven Katriel
