BLURB:
Excerpt:
“Who are you?”
He pushed further back into the
shadows as she strode closer. “Someone you need not know.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
When he didn’t answer, she sighed.
“What a strange, terrible day,” she
mumbled. “Well, at least tell me your name . . .”
He stood, speechless, knowing he
shouldn’t be there at all—conversing with a Meleyan—especially not their
musical deliverer that he was set to doom the day after tomorrow.
A peculiar grumbling interrupted her
insistence, to his relief.
“Sorry.” She patted her stomach. He
could see, even in the blackened night, how her face turned a deeper shade of
red than her hair. “I’ve forgotten to eat. I guess I’m hungrier than I
realized.”
He plucked an apple from the tree
he’d nearly become a part of and held it out to her. The girl approached
tentatively. She reached for the fruit but recoiled when her fingers brushed
his.
“Is touching me so horrible?” he
asked.
Her jaw dropped open and her
delicate brow furrowed. She inclined her head. “It . . . hurt.”
“How?” he asked, for her fingers
felt good to him, soothing. Warm. He wanted to try again.
“I don’t know how to explain . . .”
“Hum.” Unsatisfied with the answer,
he tossed the apple to her and watched as she crunched her teeth into it.

Sandra, thank you so much for allowing me a spot on your blog.
Thanks for stopping by. Wind sounds intriguing.
Every time I see that cover, I'm reminded of an actor, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Hopefully I'll know by the end of the tour!
Me too, but I don't know. I do know others have thought he resembled Brad Pitt. Hum.
Very nice excerpt.
