Preview: Still Standing

Just a litle preview of my latest novel. It's so special, I'm gonna see if I can get it published when I finish it. But until then, here's a very short sneak peek. =)

Reardon shivered when his eyes caught sight of the needles, still without any idea of what was going on and why Mercy was so upset. He placed a hand on her shoulder, unsure of what else to do to try to calm her down.

Mercy rejected his method of comfort, angrily jerking her shoulder from his grasp. She shook her head, unable to fight back any tears. She fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands, screaming more than crying. Reardon didn’t know what to do; he had never seen her break. It was even more frightening to him, not knowing or understanding why she cried. But he stood, staring down at her, his heart sinking like the Titanic as he watched her. He didn’t let it show, but he felt just as broken, seeing her like this for the first time.

You've got me intrigued. I'm rather curious now as to what caused Mercy to break down like that. I'm certainly interesting in reading more, I hope to see the rest of this posted up here soon.
