We're supposed to post at least three "hookers" today - first lines of chapters from a WIP. So here are the first lines from all three of my WIPs (doing this has made me realize a lot of my hookers suck. I might need to work on that).
Forever Friday:
Un milagro, they
called me. A miracle.
Needle's Eye:
When Akira was very small, her grandfather told her stories of Koschei the Deathless.
Revision:
"Happy half-birthday, Calypso!" My roommate, Violet, leaps onto my bed with far too much enthusiasm for seven a.m.
(Okay, so I cheated on a couple of those, but they're short enough that I figured I could sneak 'em in.)
I don't know how to add the links to everyone else's blogs, so go to Falling For Fiction for the complete list!

I think the first one is very interesting! :D
Your first line is amazing. I'm hooked!
Awesome, Mara! I have some friends who have too much energy at seven. Did I say friends? I meant children, lol. :)
Great hooks to all three stories! I'd love to see more of each one :)
Love the beginning of Friday. ;0) And the other 2 sound great too! Calypso is such a great name.
Can't wait to read your hangers.
ooh! I'm hooked!
You know I'm hooked because I became your CP. :) Can't wait to read the other two WIPs!!!!!
They're ALL great but the first one has me especially hooked.
That first one is fantastic. LOVE it. So many questions it raises. Thanks so much for participating!
Ooh, nicely done. They made me want to know more about this girl!
Very cool :) I'm hooked. :) And I cheated too... would love to read this :)
I love these! I can't decide which is my favorite - I love all three!
I like 'em! All three had me asking questions, in other words, I want to read on - so, job done, basically. :)
I like all three, but my favourite is Needle's Eye!
I like all three, but my favourite is Needle's Eye!
These lines hold a lot of depth... with three lines you've indicated there is culture, oral history, and youth in your book, and maybe a little of the fantasical. I'm very interested in this story!
those are great! love the first one! so many possibilities!
Ooooh, #2 sounds very mythological, so that hooks me for sure :)
HALF BIRTHDAYS! I celebrate half birthdays. This makes my life complete!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I have to go with the fist one...an bit of education in the hook. That's always a good thing! (and I don't know how to do the links either!)
Forever Friday. I want more of Forever Friday...
