Teaser Tuesday June 25, 2013

By -


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser for today is from Doc: A Novel by Mary Doria Russell

"Along with everyone else in the saloon, the South Carolinian went motionless a heartbeat later, paralyzed by the sight of a short-barreled nickel-plated Colt .38 leveled at his chest.

'Think about how much practice a move like that takes! Hours and hours, ' Bat would say.

    I can imagine the saloon's patrons freezing at the sight of that gun! That's a well-written scene.
    My Teaser is from ORPHAN TRAIN.
