"If it didn't work for the first guy what makes you think that it will work for you!?"

omg trying to find a one-liner made me realise how choppy my sentences are, goddamn prose style

here's what i came up with (i mean it sort of reads like a one liner with set up.....)

Get to know the guy. That’s what you did, wasn’t it? Ask him what his job is. What’s his salary and how many pushups he can do in one go.

“You seen Star Trek?”

Nice one, you cretin.

It's a dark BL romance with a twist (when i get there!)

i'm definitely going to have to read this now, that's a great almost-one-liner!

This is from my prologue, which is different from the rest of the book . Most of my one liners from my precious boy are actually multiple sentences.

This is different from the silence that comes with the arrival of the chill; it’s an almost ideal tranquility that I hope to provide for an eternity.

I’m also glad a lot of people seem to like my prologue. Writing from a tree’s POV was hard

Ohhh, I hope my one-liner isn't bad

An open suitcase containing the torso and hands of a woman stared back at him.

Okay this is hard, but I'll go with the one liner that's on the cover: (God this is hard and I fear it won't do it justice but who knows)

A story of trial, honor, and passion, Rajini and Ray fight for the right to choose love on their terms.

What was supposed to be inside the mirror, was now behind him.

From the chapter one of

It was hard to choose one sentence!

This is a story of technology, parenthood, and morality. A story of love, choice, and death - the devil’s love triangle.

What can I say? Tell them that I'm actually the Queen that died weeks ago and expect them to bow at my feet and offer apologies?

Uhmmm.... Hello. I'm Meg. I just joined today. Here's my one liner for my first official book.

Nothing was really supposed to happen in this hunt, but you know what they say. Things never go as planned and "In this tournament, you either be the wolf or be the deer. In the end, I chose to be the wolf.

My one liner:

“Vampires, Telera. I. Saw. One,” said G.

Note story is mature for violence and lots of cussing . Also lesbian vampires 🤪.

alexlcuri07 2020-07-21 16:11:37 UTC #33

That was good. I'm thoroughly intrigued, lol.

FADEX 2020-07-21 20:20:02 UTC #36

I'm glad you liked it, out of context it seems pretty exciting (? Is that even the right word?)

Behind the Avalon Springs police station was an ironic place for someone to be murdered.
