Jagged Feathers - @jansikes3 #NewRelease #RomanticSuspense #WhiteRuneSeries
Thank you, Fred, for inviting me to your blog site today to talk about my new book, JAGGED FEATHERS! I appreciate your generosity.
Two years ago, I fell inside my apartment and fractured some ribs. I cannot describe the pain. Unless you’ve ever experienced it, there is no way to say it where you can understand. It’s impossible to take a deep breath, to move using any of the upper body muscles and God forbid that you have to cough. It was from that experience I was able to write that injury into my book. Nakina was wearing a bulletproof vest when she met the henchmen from the drug cartel. And while the vest would stop a bullet from penetrating, she was left with deep bruising and cracked ribs.
EXCERPT #1:
An eternity passed before the double doors opened and a doctor called, “Nakina Bird’s family.”
“That’s me.” Vann reached the doctor in three strides. “How is she?”
“You can be very glad she was wearing a bulletproof vest. She was hit by a high-caliber bullet. The vest was all that saved her. In time, she should fully recover, however, preliminary x-rays show cracked ribs, and bruising from the impact goes deep into her back. Besides that, she has severe lacerations to her face. We’ve given her something for the pain.”
Vann searched the doctor’s face. “Is she conscious?”
“Yes. She’s alert.”
“Will you please tell her I’m here?”
The doctor nodded.
EXCERPT #2:
As hard as she fought it, Nakina let out a groan each time she tried to move even a fraction of an inch. If only she could take a deep breath, but it hurt too badly. The doctor had assured her that broken ribs and deep bruising would cause that kind of excruciating pain. If it were physically possible, she would have jumped for joy when the attending physician informed her that the vest had prevented a bullet from penetrating her back. That had been her biggest fear considering the pain level.
Disappointed that the doctor had admitted her to the hospital, she tried to be patient.
