Grab 'em with the first sentence



Clearly, Matt Marinovich, author of the forthcoming August Harper Perennial release Strange Skies, excels at this:

"I've always found it hard to have a normal conversation with my brother's wife when she's breastfeeding."

Read the whole first chapter on his MySpace blog.

Description from Amazon:

What kind of man would lie to his own wife about having cancer? A man desperate to avoid being saddled with life's responsibilities. A man like Paul.

On a miserable October afternoon, as he stares down at his brother's whiny new baby, Paul realizes he's run out of excuses. His wife wants a family, but the last thing Paul wants is dirty diapers and a constantly screaming stranger robbing him of sleep. Then a lump is discovered on his arm, and with a little elaboration, the parenthood question is rendered moot.

With the dwindling time he pretends he's got left, he intends to start looking out for number one. But his "cancer vacation" hits a snag when he meets a mother and son in an airport bar who turn everything around—and even bring Paul to the brink of a life he thought he never wanted—because sometimes a man's got to lose himself completely to discover who he really is.

Lovely. I offer my husband's work for your reading enjoyment. I would love to bring him to NYC to read aloud.

Another first line is here:

“Jesus,” I breathed as Jameson hammered me from behind while I clutched in my left hand the huge leather volume of the Greek Fathers of the Church and in my right the huge leather volume of the Latin Fathers of the Church.
