Hey, all! Well, I have three short stories from the Setti series in FURTHERMORE. I'll be posting quotes here and there to give you a little taste. :)

Excerpt from "Jeremy's Heart," which is told from Jeremy's POV:

"When I thought I might make her lips too swollen from my rough need of her, I pulled away. Those half-open dark eyes could’ve pulled me into Hell, and I would’ve gladly followed with a stupid smile on my face."

Tina, I have to say, you're going to DIE when you read Jeremy's story. As one of his biggest fans, he'll make your heart go pitter-pat. ;)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 23 comments Sorry, this is probably more than a snippet, perhaps even crossing the line into excerpt territory. I'm terrible at choosing small portions LOL!

Anyway, here's a snippet/excerpt/thingy from The Runaway- Tawni's Story (a The Moon Dwellers (The Dwellers, #1) by David Estes short story):

Even when you know it’s the right thing to do, running away from home is never easy.

Although my small bag is packed and dangling from my shoulder, my nondescript black boots are laced, and the door is open, I linger on the threshold for a moment, and gaze back at the house I’ve called home for as long as I can remember. Everything I see—from the flat-screen telebox, to the sturdy stone table, to the photos of my parents and me hanging on the wall—should be familiar, but it’s not. It’s as if I’ve never seen any of it before. Ever since I overheard my parents talking last week, my entire world feels foreign.

I cannot wait any longer or I know I might change my mind. Swiping a long lock of straight, blond hair away from my face, I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and try to muster what little courage I can.

It’s such a normal thing, stepping through the door, something I’ve done a million times. But this time it feels so unnormal, like it’s not me, not my legs—someone else. Not me. When I close it behind me I feel an errant rush of wind through the cave; it washes over my face, my arms, through my hair, as if the unlikely breeze is cleansing me, washing away the sins that are mine by association. Having left the house in which my parents are still sleeping, I feel cleaner already.

They’re not good people. I can’t stay here anymore.

Tina (frogluv3r) | 72 comments @Stephanie--I already know I am going to freak out. Just the snippet had my heart pounding! LOL


message 9: by Tina (new)

Tina (frogluv3r) | 72 comments @David--I am anxious to hear Tawni's story. She is such a likable character, but you know I still miss Cole. *booboo lip*

Here's one more from "Jeremy's Heart" just for you, Tina. ;)



Damn. Look at her. Long legs, slim hips, white-blonde hair blowing around her perfect face. The surprise was her eyes—dark brown and mesmerizing, like they held a secret.

I wanted to know the secret. I wanted to know everything. If the girl had any clue what she did to me, she’d stop. It should be against the law to creep into a guy’s head and invade his thoughts day and night.

Aww thank you Karen. She really stands on her own in The Sun Dwellers too so I'll think you'll enjoy that :) And the short story should be right up your alley too!

So difficult trying to choose a snippet but I managed to find one!

“Emily Jenkins, corrupting young men. What would people say?” He tutted at me and as if by magic, I spotted an elderly lady walking along the pavement, scrunching up her nose to stare at us.

I looked away from her to take in the handsome, cheeky devil in front of me. “The young man didn’t take much corrupting?”

Aww thanks! If you haven't started The Moon Dwellers, hold off for a few days. I'm releasing a slightly revised version that will hopefully make it even better! You'll be able to download the latest version from wherever you downloaded it initially. Give me until Saturday and then you'll be safe to get the new one. And thanks again for the support!!

Cool beans! I should be finished the series I'm reading by then so perfect timing :)


message 26: by Amber (new)

Amber Garr (ambergarr) | 2 comments Awesome snippets guys! Here are a few for me....

Cold Feet (Kain's POV)
The scent of the bonfire still lingered in her hair and I rubbed her back wishing we could prolong this moment.

Rift (Eviana's POV)
He smiled and my heart melted. One look like that and I second guessed every decision I made.

Human Resources (Mac's POV)
I had to entertain myself somehow, and being around these ridiculous humans made me homesick for a land I left centuries ago.

Discovery (Leila's POV)
“Well, have fun.” Russ dried his hands and leaned across the small kitchen table to grab my face. “As far as I’m concerned, you’re the only psychic in my book.”

hey all! here's some snippets from Fate :)

“Perhaps the hardest thing to accept about one’s fate, is that it can take years to unfold. But when it does, it’s worth every second, every breath, and every dream.”
- Adrian


“The thing about fate is that no one knows what you’re meant to be or what you will become. Sometimes you surprise everyone, even yourself.”
- Aurelia


“I don’t believe you can avoid your fate. Nor do I think you can change it. The real challenge is recognizing when you’ve achieved it.”
- Blake


“Fate is a funny thing. It has the power to bring you to a new world. Right where you feel you were meant to be in that moment in time.”
- Lady Katherine
