I am one of many talented authors who share excerpts from their books
and/or works-in-progress every Wednesday on Hump Day Hook. If you'd like
to read some more enticing author hooks, please
follow this link.
My hump day hook for the day comes from my contemporary romantic adventure, MESSAGE FROM VIOLA MARI. When her friend, Jennifer coerces her into taking a sci-fi novel writing class, meteorite scientist, Marissa, gets immersed in much more than the text...After a date with instructor Justin ends badly and the next morning, Melissa's venting her frustration with him in class.
“Well, you have to admit this essay was
really lame, even if it was well written,” grunted Mark. Despite the fact that
it was nine AM, a five o’clock shadow clouded his face and the dark circles
under his eyes screamed hang over.
At least someone’s on my side—maybe I should ask
for his number after class. “Yeah, see.” I turned to Justin and narrowed my
eyes. “And I have all the information I need, thank you very much. As a matter
of fact, with this author, it’s a clear case of too much information. By the
end of the essay, I feel like if I hear another word about his vanilla
obsession or his pathetic love life, I’m going to have to grab a handful of
vanilla beans and stone him to death with them. But a man can never get over a
blond with big jugs, right?”
“His
ex-girlfriend’s appearance wasn’t even described in the essay,” said Steve.
“Where did you come up with that?”
“Oh, I don’t
know. This author just seems like the kind of guy who would try to seduce one
woman while another still has keys to his house.”

uncovers evidence that a comet cloud will soon destroy Earth. When
aspiring writer and her best friend Jennifer begs her to take a Saturday
morning sci-fi writing class, Marissa reluctantly agrees. Writing her
real-life story as fiction gives her an astonishing new perspective on
the anomalous set of craters she discovered off the La Jolla Coast. But
this favor for her friend stirs up more than scientific results…writing
teacher Justin Lincoln goads her constantly and taunts her with his
irresistible curly blond locks and steely physique he knows only too
well make women drool. Marissa teeters on the edge of anger and raging
attraction for this irritating man. But it’s a terrible time to let lust
call the shots when the world’s about to end and Marissa’s the only one
who can save everyone.
