It's Six Sentence Sunday! This is the 2nd tidbit from my WIP, An Echo In Time (formally titled The Stone of Destiny). After chatting with my editor we decided on the new title. What do you think? The story will be feature in the "Twist of Time" anthology.
In this scene: Kendra has just arrived in the 15th century only to be abducted by Dougal. Cian show up on the scene to intervene. Dougal pauses in his attempts to kiss Kendra and demands to know who Cian is so he may inform his kin of his death.
Six Sentence:
“Cian Laidir of the MacCarthys at yer service.” The man bowed with an over exaggerated flair before his lethal gaze sought his adversary. “But I am afraid it is ye who will see the fiery pits of hell this day.”
His look alone oozed with authority and raw power. Dougal was a fool to mess with this guy, but who was she to argue. Go Cian
*****************************************************************************************************
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek of my upcoming tale, An Echo in Time. So...do you think Cian can take Dougal?

I love the first excerpt where he begs her not to leave him.
Hi Elaine,
I’m glad you liked the first excerpt, too. Glad you could come by. 🙂
I think that was my favorite too!
Gotta love that moment when the brave hero jumps in to save the heroine. I love it. Terrific six. This one’s going on my TBR pile!
Hi Joanne,
I think you’ll fall in love with Cian. 🙂 Thanks so much for popping in for a visit.
Very atmospheric – I like the new title too (more original)
Kristal,
I like that ‘atmospheric’. Great word! Oh, I’m so glad you like the new title. I was pretty excited about it,too.
Choosing just the right title is torturous for me. lol
Thanks so much for coming by for a sneak peek.
Of course! Cian can totally take Dougal. Go, Cian!
Linda joins Team Cian!! lol
Thanks for popping in for a cheer. 🙂
The first six was so powerful with raw emotion. 🙂
I’m glad you liked the first six! Thanks for coming by, Jessica.
Ugh, computer issues last week. I did make it around to read, just wasn’t able to comment. Things are all better this week so I can leave my “mark”. I love the premise for this story and I am already crushing on Cian!
Keep up the terrific work.
Thanks so much, Silver. You’ll love Cian. 🙂
I do hate computer problems. I’m glad everything is better now. 🙂
I love the first six, Karen!
Thanks, Calisa.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the sneak peek.
Intriguing six.
Taryn,
So glad you were intrigued. 🙂
You’ve got so much emotion in the first six, it’s wonderful. And it looks like only a fool would mess with Cian!
Karen,
Cian can handle his own. And he in no way is going to let anyone get to Kendra! lol
Thanks so much for coming by.
Oh, I love the longing infused… on both sides.
Skye,
I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet. 🙂
The first six was lovely—very poignant.
As for the second . .. ‘course Cian can.
Wasn’t the first snippet from last week? And is Cian (or Dougal) the man with storm colored eyes?
Cian is the man with the storm colored eyes. 🙂
Sue,
You are so right. It took you telling me so to realize it. 🙂
Okay, I’m a complete ninny. I didn’t realize I pasted the six sentence from last week in this post. I kept wondering why everyone was referring to it. lol Well, I’m a wee bit slow, but I finally figured it out and have removed it. 🙂
I only meant to copy the book cover over, not the whole snippet. Sigh— sorry about that gals.
Nice six. Cian sounds like someone you don’t wanna mess with!
J.C.,
You don’t want to be on his bad side. lol Thanks for coming by for a sneak peek.
I love the contrast between the ‘olde’ speech of the past and her POV. So well done. And I think the new title is great. You’ve got another winner!
Thanks, Mae. 🙂
Terrific six…loved this line:
The man bowed with over exaggerated flare before his lethal gaze sought his adversary.
Christine,
Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed the six. 🙂
Sounds like an intense situation heating up. Cian probably isn’t someone they want to mess with.
Carrie-Ann,
Tune in next week to find out. 🙂
Loved the contrast in their speech… Great job!
Thanks, Sara,
I didn’t want the readers to lose sight that Kendra is a 21st century woman who has traveled back in time.
Love the contrast between her voice and their speech patterns. Like the new title too!
Thanks, Eleri.
I’m so glad you could come by for a sneak peek.
I like a man who bows. Looking forward to more of this story! Good title.
Hi Carrie,
Yep, me too. I love a man who bows.
Thanks- Great to know, the title is a winner!
For some reason his introduction cracked me up. You did a great job setting up these two characters and writing a visually stimulating scene.
Jess,
Cian was introducing himself to the equivalent to a thug in the 15 century. So yep, you picked it up. He was being cheeky. 🙂
Authority and raw power … so yum!
Sarah,
So glad you enjoyed the six!
