Welcome back, Sixers. August was a good release month for Girl Under Glass, and sales exceeded my goal. My thanks to those of you who’ve bought the book; I do hope you enjoy(ed) the read. 
Today’s Six Sentence Sunday post continues Rachel’s gunpoint confrontation with the alien soldier. (Last week that soldier learned that Rachel’s dogs, Jack and Audie, are as suspicious of his intentions as Rachel is.)
========
He grimaced and shifted, and I glanced at his right leg. Mud and blood caked his fatigues from the knee down. It had thundered and blustered all night, and I didn’t envy this man being caught in the storm.
“I’m not here to harm you,” he said. “You have my word.”
“Which isn’t worth shit.”
========
She’s not giving him an inch. Not yet anyway.
========
As always, I recommend a trip to the Six Sentence Sunday website to get the list of writers participating in this week’s hop.
I love how bold and firm she is. I wouldn’t put a toe over that line, LOL!

Powerful 6!
Such a great story. Everyone should go read it now!
Thank you, Eleri! And, yes, yes they should. ;P
Marvelous. Good, gritty description, a bit of desperation, and some sass. Great job!
She’s not taking crap from this guy. He senses that he has to keep reassuring her and that makes me nervous. It’s getting exciting!
Ooh I just like her so much. Go girl. Congratulations on the sale, Monica. Great to hear!
Love your heroine…I always enjoy one who is strong and secure! Great six.
Well, it’s going to take quite a bit to convince her then, isn’t it? Did I mention I like Rachel?
Love her reaction to his word. When villains make that promise, you know they’re lying. Very well done Monica!
Your heroine’s got attitude! Love it!
I’m loving every one of these snippets! I had computer issues last week so couldn’t comment. I have so many books I *need* to read, and a few I *want* to read, but this one just moved from my TO BUY list to BUY RIGHT NOW! (And read at earliest possible moment!) Great stuff, Monica!
And…argh. Back to logging in with twitter because WordPress STILL doesn’t like me.
Thank you, Silver! What a huge compliment! I hope you enjoy reading GUG, and I look forward to hearing your feedback. (And good luck with the computer problems. Crossing my fingers for you.)
This is such an intense scene. Great story, great six!!
Oh dear. She doesn’t like him much, does she?
Yay, Rachel! You go, girl. Make him prove himself to you first!
I love the way that the advantage is subtley shifting from being with the strange soldier threatening the vulnerable woman, to being with the stalwart woman letting the injured stranger know where the line is that he shouldn’t step over.
Ooh, she’s a suspicious one. He’ll have a lot of convincing to do.
I love her straightforward, no nonsense manner. This is great stuff, Monica!
On my TBR list!!! Love your writing.
Thanks, Cara! Looking forward to your feedback.
No, she isn’t. He needs to give her a reason first. Great six!
She has a point
Congrats on your amazing release. I’ve added Girl Under Glass to my wish list and can’t wait to read it. I’ve loved your snippets!
after these great six sentences i’m definitely reading Girl Under Glass. I’d love it if you could comment on mines.

Yep…I started to type “wow”. This book is a piece of knock-your-socks-off fiction. I have to read a couple books for review this week, and as soon as they are done, I’m reading Girl Under Glass, again.
ROFL! You’re awesome, Teresa! Just too awesome for words.
