I mentioned that I am working on a new book in the Ruby & Nolan’s Great Adventures in Space series. This one is called VOLCANO! Before I tackle the editing of the book, sharing a page or two of the first chapter might be fun.
Chapter 1. Donzereli to the rescue!
“What the heck! Donzereli is flying into the mouth of that exploding volcano! We brought everyone back, didn’t we?” Shamus shouted, too close to Nolan’s ear for comfort!
“Of course we did! Wait a minute! That’s Mom and Dad’s car right beside the opening! They’ve got to get out of there! What the heck are they waiting for? They’re way too close!”
“There are sparks and chunks of rocks shooting out of the opening right next to them!
“OMG, now there’s fire and lava!”
“We’ve gotta go, Now!” Shamus whispered into the mic.
“I’m with you. Go!” Nolan whispered, nearly running into Shamus.
Everyone stood spellbound, watching the show, mesmerized by the explosive eruption —a spectacular display visible to the naked eye.
Shamus and Nolan were racing for the recently gifted large cars! The two stopped for a second, but their breath caught in their throats when they saw Donzereli fly out of the volcano and swoop right back down, again. The sight spurred them on, and they raced full speed for the cars.
They heard Sunset announce to the group, “Ty mentioned that Queen Tanisha said several of the older fairies who chose not to come to the dinner might be trapped in their hovel in the volcano. Ty and Robin will be bringing them here as soon as Donzereli flies them out! We offered to fly over to help, but Donzereli just contacted me and said they were almost done and that it would be too dangerous for us to fly with or without a car, and he says they will retrieve the fairies and return safely, very soon!”
“Can you see them?” Rainbow asked.
Before Sunset could answer her, several loud bangs nearly deafened the onlookers! They were stunned, standing with their hands over their ears, as the top of the tunnel exploded, sending huge chunks of rock and lava over much of the island and igniting most of the surrounding trees. Some hot, flaming rocks were reaching as far as the beach that Shamus and Nolan had designated as the site for their beach party!
Counselor Walkegon loudly announced, “By the fierceness of this initial explosion, it looks like much of the flaming rocks might reach this continent where we are standing! We strongly suggest that you move back! The elder council members were moving the group back and setting up shelters to protect them from the possible storm of hot, flaming rocks.
The humans huddled together eyes locked on the island, waiting and hoping to see the flying car speeding toward the continent at any second.
This is an excerpt from the first chapter. If you have read any of the previous books, it will be much clearer who these people are and what Shamus and Nolan are planning to do.
When this book is completed, it will be published by Draft2Digital and will be distributed to the following places: Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Everand, Smashwords, Tolino OverDrive, bibliotheca, Baker & Taylor, BorrowBox, Hoopla, Vivlio, Palace Marketplace, Odilo, Gardners, Amazon
This is the last book in this series so far, and I tried to make them easy to read as stand-alone books while also linking them together. I totally enjoyed writing them. You may not know this, but the main characters are REAL PEOPLE, who so far live in Seattle and have not gone into space, yet!.
