As a writer, I always want to make the reader feel what's happening in the story. And that's no easy feat, but I've been working on it. 😉
An excerpt from... Ruby Hood, A Twistedly True Tale... the retelling of a classic fairy tale that takes a completely different path over the river and through the Wood.
Immersed in a moment of flux, Ruby hung in mid-nowhere before she landed with a thud. Blackness absorbed every inch of her space, and a deafening silence stifled her. Her
senses roared into overdrive, and a panic rose in her chest. The empty
nothingness of the room over-filled her lungs. Her pulse throbbed as she gasped
for air. How could she have been this wrong? She was to die. Right here. Right
now.
