Time for the Weekend Writing Warriors!
For the next couple months, I'm highlighting sentences from my Boys of the Zodiac novel, Aries: Riddle Me Wicked. Last week, you met Ian, just captured after his archaeological dig was attacked. They drop him into an underground cavern to keep him contained, where he discovers he's not alone. He meets an American who doesn't seem surprised to see him at all. In fact, he knows their captor, too...
Ian stared at him, unsure what to make of any of this. “What
on earth are you talking about? And who are you?”
The smile never wavered. “Lucas Arpini. And I’m the man
who’s going to put both of us in the record books.”

Very witty and fast paced snippet! Loved it!
It sounds like Lucas might have some delusions of grandeur, too?
Looking forward to getting some more of this story in the next few weeks. Great snippet. ;)
Great idea to do a "men of the zodiac" series...plus, you started this 8 with a Star Wars reference, LOVE.:)
Another great idea - your sidebar with inspiration for the week. Nice!
Quite the adventure! Somewhat like Indiana Jones. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Interesting how calm this other person is, leaves me wanting to know more right away, not next week LOL. Excellent excerpt!
Only in Indiana Jones movies has archaeology been so interesting, until now! I'm very intrigued by the current development. Lucas seems like Indiana Jones/Jack Sparrow/Rick O'Connell rolled into one. Just in two sentences! Can't wait for more!
First, I gotta say I love that cover, Vivian! Great snippet and can't wait to find out what happens next week!
wow, very sure of himself. In the record books. Love this. Makes you want to know more and read the entire book. Great job! :-)
Totally cool and leaving this reader wanting more! Super eight.
that's quite the cliff hanger... and loved the Jack Sparrow ref also
The cover is totally sexy. I'm wanting to read more of this delicious story!
This sounds like an intriguing bad boy. Great snippet, Vivien. :)
Attention grabbing! Nice 8.
Ohh, very intriguing snippet! That last line is a terrific hook, cause I'm dying to know what he means!
I'm intrigued! I love the "Boys of the Zodiac" idea--I'm looking forward to reading more! :)
That's a tantalizing introduction!
*snort* Loved the Jack Sparrow line :-)
What kind of record?
Interesting 8.
I find myself wondering if the American is working with the kidnappers.
I love the Boys of the Zodiac idea! As for this American guy - I suspect their trouble is just beginning. Great snippet!
You have an awesome way with words. I love your voice!
