Here's the First Paragraph:
The road back is never the same. A fact Korban was fast learning. The last time he had traveled the heavily rutted road he'd been delirious, trussed up like a hunter's kill, and tossed into a wagon with a blanket smelling of horse thrown over his body so none would catch sight of his departure.
Teaser (from 25% on my Kindle):
Oh, sure, throwbacks and gargoyles were dangerous, especially those who ate human flesh. But, not all gargoyles were bad.
Genre: Fan Fiction - Science Fiction & Fantasy
Length: 40 Pages
Amazon: The Journey Back
Also by Darcy Carson: The Trouble With Mother

Knowing he is no longer welcomed, he leaves for his ancestral home to find answers that have plagued him over the years.

I've not read any fan fiction but unfortunately I don't get on with science fiction so I'd pass on this one - thanks for sharing though.
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with fan fiction because my teenage granddaughter loves to write it. Of course, you know I love it. I'm not a big sci-fi fan but I do like the sound of this book.
ReplyDeleteI too haven't read any fan fiction, but I've been curious. Glad you found an author who resonates.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard anything about Kindle Worlds. Wait, so it's a fan fiction publishing platform then? (That's what I'm getting from the comments.) Interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe opener was decent, I'd read on.
My First Chapter post is here: http://www.bookpunks.com/begins-smoke-gets-eyes-caitlin-doughty/
Fan fiction is totally new to me. I'll have to find out more.
ReplyDeleteI've not read any fan fiction. This has me curious. And it has gargoyles!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/12/15/teaser-tuesdays-139-sins-of-the-lost/
Hope you enjoy this Sandy. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of F or fantasy.
ReplyDeleteI used to read a ton of fan fiction! This was back in the days before the Internet/Kindles, etc and you just bought the stories. It was mostly Star Trek, War of the Words with a few others like Beauty and the Beast thrown in. Occasionally I do visit some sites to try a few of the newer ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TT today for The Octopus: A Story of California by Frank Norris at http://wp.me/pZnGI-sc
I still need to try fan fiction. thanks for sharing. if your readers are interested, here is my Teaser, another story in a train! A short very well done book:

Sounds interesting. I haven't read much fan fiction since Star Trek. It is certainly much easier to find it now than it was in the late 60s. My teaser comes from Killing Trail by Margaret Mizushima this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy, for highlighting my Doublesight fan fiction, The Journey Back. I hope people like the story.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of science fiction, or fantasy, but this one does pique my curiosity. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteNot tried fan fiction but glad you liked it. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah that they aren't all bad. Unless it was sarcastic...but gargoyles sound like something awesome to have in a book to read! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you gotta watch out for those flesh eating gargoyles. It's hard to tell them apart from the nice ones.
ReplyDeleteNot all gargoyles were bad!? Well that's something you don't hear every day - well, at all actually ha! I'm intrigued nonetheless; great teaser!
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing teaser! I'd definitely like to know more!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see this type of short fiction is succeeding. Small bites and big reward
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I haven't read fan fiction in years.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm not familiar with the original source of this particular fan fiction, but it sounds well written. Hope you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteDenise @ Life With No Plot
I understand the gargoyles, but what's so bad about throwbacks? Sounds like an interesting book!
ReplyDeleteNot really my kind of book but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Girl Who Reads
