"Vittoria had not had time to change from her shorts and sleeveless top, and her tawny legs were now goose-bumped in the cold of the plane. Instinctively Langdon removed his jacket and offered it to her."

My teaser today is taken from the long-term reading project I'm engaged in with Robert Jordan's fantasy novel, "The Eye Of The World"

Here's my teaser, taken from the very first lines of the book:

"The palace still shook occasionally as the earth rumbled in memory, groaned as if it would deny what had happened. Bars of sunlight cast through rents in the walls made motes of dust glitter where they yet hung in the air."

Hope you liked it! Let me know what you think, and share your teasers too in a comment.

My teaser today:

"Lovemaking is an art that requires knowledge, practice and skilful application of what is pleasurable and sexually arousing. In the same way that a musician can become more knowledgeable and skilful, a couple can learn to freely and frequently experience the ecstasy of orgasm."

"And They Were Not Ashamed - Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment"

Who said that? challenge #4

I write a character quote from a Dan Brown novel. You tell me who said it and which novel it is found in.

"As you may have guessed, I planned to retire soon. But I wanted to retire with pride. I wanted to retire knowing that I'd truly made a difference."

If you have any idea which Dan Brown novel this quote comes from, or who said it, let me know in a comment!

Here's my teaser:

"Before Sophie and Teabing could respond, a sea of blue police lights and sirens erupted at the bottom of the hill and began snaking up the half-mile driveway. Teabing frowned. 'My friends, it seems we have a decision to make. And we'd better make it fast.'"

My teaser is taken from Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, his famous bestseller covering such topics as Catholicism, Jesus, Da Vinci, secret societies and huge secrets, to mention a few.
