So I’m going to pop my Hump Day cherry – hope I don’t mess it up! For those of you who don’t know, Hump Day Hook is a blog hop where you share a paragraph of your own work, it has to have a hook, be up by Wednesday and link back to the mother-ship where you can find lots of other writers with enticing snippets.
So without further ado, this is the first paragraph of a published urban fantasy shortie called Foul is Fair;
I sat on the balcony and slid my legs under the railing, leaving them to dangle above the writhing mass on the dance floor. My heavy boots swung like pendulums to the bass line while I frowned at my client cruising at the bar. My problem wasn’t that he was a vamp, or that he was gay. I didn’t like him because he was a politician.
So, how was it for?? If you want to find what happens next, you can download Foul is Fair for FREE from Amazon.

Welcome! I like this scene. What a last word! Very intriguing.

lol loved that last thought
It seems a fairly universal concept
I loved the last line. Great hook!
Thanks!
Heh, sounds like a good enough reason.
Couldn’t agree more!
Great atmosphere and intro to the main character’s personality. I’m hooked!
Thank you
Loved that last line! Ha! Don’t we all.
Yep! I almost feel sorry for them…but not quite.
Seems like a valid reason not to like a client
Not a lot of love for politicians
I’m totally hooked! Love it
Gosh – thank you Naomi
It was excellent! I loved the description, the atmosphere you created with it, her attitude. Nicely done!
