Welcome back to Six sentence Sunday! Last week I wrapped up sharing bits from my recently released book, Personal Adventures. Today I’m going to begin sharing bits from my July release, Under His Skin. This book is part of the Ellora’s Cave Pricked series, and is the first book in what I hope will be a really cool series all about a team of tattoo artists. Check back for more information about the book and the rest of the series!
I’m also going to be throwing in pictures of super hot, tattooed dudes just because. Today’s picture was part of the inspiration for the hero of the book. Sadly you won’t see much of him for a few weeks, but here’s an idea of what you’re in store for…
This share is the first six lines of the book…
The smell hit her first, that unique aroma of ointment, grease, green soap and the human element. Pandora’s nerves settled at last. Nirvana was close at hand.
She clenched the strap slung over her shoulder and pushed the heavy oak door open. The hotel was a riot of people, music and cries of pain. The hum of tattoo machines beat a steady background to the general din of the attendees.
And that’s the share this week.

I so agree. When I heard about the Pricked call, I was in heaven!!
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
The hum of tattoo machines really jolted me. She’s on a mission. Good six!
That line wrote itself. Really happy with it.

Sweet opening. Great description, I swear for a second I could smell what she was smelling. Nice six. And the tattoo dude? Niiiice. 🙂
Lea Griffith recently posted..Can you feel it?
LoL! I’m a fan of that model. He’s got some great ink. I had to seriously sit and think about what made up that tattoo parlor smell, and I hope I nailed it!
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
Great description! Just one more reason I will *never* get a tattoo! Ha!
Awe, they aren’t that bad. I promise!!
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
Gotta agree with everyone else. Great description. You put me right in the midst of what must be a convention.
Monica Enderle Pierce recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Flight #27–Washing Memories Away
You nailed it! I made up a tattoo convention and modeled it after the local ones I’ve been to.
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
wow excellent first lines. Can see and hear it all

Woohoo! That’s what I want to hear. 😀
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
I can smell it and it feels like I’m there. Well done!!

Thank you!!!
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
Very descriptive–really helped me “see” into her world, as I have no real life experience of tattooing, the parlors, etc. I’m with Monica, sounds like a tattoo convention of some sort. Great Six!!!
K.E. Saxon recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday #25
You’re both right — it’s a convention! I really tried to relate the world of tattoos and the terminology in a way someone unaware of it can understand.
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
Wow, so much established in that six! Excellent! 🙂

Great beginning to a story! Pulled me right in by giving me an insight in the character as well as a sense of time and place.
Thanks, Karyn! You guys are really making me feel on top of my writing game today. 😀
Sidney recently posted..Six Sentence Sunday: Under His Skin
I love reading the prose of a wordsmith. Very nice six.
Great opening shot description! Congrats on the upcoming release. 🙂

Fantastic use of the senses. Really great six!
Fantastic opening. I love the idea of a book revolving around a tattoo shop.
