WIP Update and Excerpt for Book Two of The Pet Washer Series

The Wishing Star
by Jennifer Lynn Alvarez

Book Two of The Pet Washer Series
Currently at 23,500 words
Coming Soon!

About:

"Join Cianna and Caden on a journey across the Azules Ocean! In an attempt to win a wish on the Wishing Star, Caden and the colt, Dash, risk life and limb in a brutal horse race.

Cianna supports them every step of the way with special grain for Dash, and encouragement for Caden. 


But can a stable boy win a race against men? Can an untried colt win a race against stallions? And if they succeed, what in the world will Caden wish for?"


Excerpt from The Wishing Star:


     The bugles blared to signal that the race was about to begin. Caden forgot about Jade and gripped Cianna’s hand. “This is it.”
     Cianna felt his tension. “Dash is ready,” she said to comfort him. “You did a perfect job with him.” Her hand floated up and stroked his hair, something she'd never done before. His hair was neither long nor short, and it smelled like sunshine. She felt Caden’s breath close to her face and she knew her was looking at her. She closed her eyes to hide her thoughts.
     The most important race of his life was about to begin and Caden wasn’t paying attention. Cianna’s touch had shocked him. He looked at her, his best friend, and tried to read her eyes, but they were closed. She’d never shut him out on purpose. Caden shook his head. She was a young lady now, she deserved a royal life. Once he won the Wish, he would let her go.
     The bell clanged and they were off!

Authors, this is a sample of a WIP (Work in Progress) update and excerpt using my new book as an example. For those of you who haven't read The Pet Washer, just a note that my MC, Cianna, is blind. This may be helpful to know when reading the excerpt.

To Do: If you are a published author and you'd like to introduce a new book, please contact me.
