Fun Friday!

 


Yes, it's Fun Friday here at Seekerville where it's all about FUN

For today's event, we have a list of opening lines from Seeker books. They may be first lines from one of our older releases, a current release or an upcoming release. Your mission--should you choose to accept it--is to guess the author and book title for each of these story openings. The person with the most correct answers will win a $20 Amazon Gift Card. (In the event of a tie, one winner will be chosen at random)

Are you ready?

Here we go.

  1. Noah Stoll flung a rock into Miller’s Pond and quickly reached down for another one. He repeated the action, over and over, until his throwing arm was too tired to continue.

  2. "At least you know you can trust me." Michelle Stiles slashed a hand about an inch from Zane Hart's face. They sat in his kitchen. His roof over her head. His food in her stomach. And safety thanks to him. Still, the man was so stubborn. She wanted to help, and besides, she was bored.

  3. He supposed that someday he would have to forgive the child for being a girl.

  4. Heidi Martin flipped on the overhead light and looked into the eyes of a killer. 

  5. "Sorry for the delay, folks. There's a bull train on the trail ahead of us and they're hogging the road."

  6. It was all the weatherman's fault.

  7. For once in his life he'd aced his two older brothers. 

  8. Running away from an arranged marriage to the wilds of the Blue Ridge hadn’t gone as Cora Taylor expected. 

  9. "Ninety-two and a half for Buster McKnight. Give the cowboy from Oklahoma a hand!"

  10. Melancholy was a condition of the spirit and the soul, but also of the mind.

  11. Excitement zinged through Paisley Wainwright like a hyperactive five-year-old jazzed on sugar. 

  12. "I'm running out of time," Lizzie Kauffman moaned as she reached for the polishing cloth and rubbed it over the silver teapot.

  13. Connor O’Shea braced his boots against the auction block and glared at the crowd gathered on the landing.

When leaving your guesses in the comments, simply put the coordinating number, followed by your guess for each line.

Winner will be announced tomorrow in the Weekend Edition!
