Question: What are some of your favorite lines/excerpts in Only Bad Options?

Answer: I’ve talked before about how much I like coming up with opening lines and how they can set the tone for the entire book. I really like this opening line of Only Bad Options, said by Vesper Quill:

“Sometimes in life, you have only bad options.”

I think this is one of the better opening lines I have ever written, and I hope that it makes readers wonder what kind of options Vesper has and why she thinks that they are all bad.

I also tend to like lines/excerpts where the characters talk/think about themselves, their personalities, and their abilities – before they go kick someone’s butt. LOL. Like these lines, also said by Vesper:

“Once again, I was in a situation where I had only bad options. Sometimes I thought that was the sad story of my life. No good, easy, simple choices, only those that ranged from bad to worse to catastrophic. I firmed up my shooting stance. Well, let’s see how catastrophic I could make someone else’s day.”

Another example of a little self-reflection is this line by Kyrion Caldaren:

“Things were simpler, easier in the dark, especially when no monster was worse than the one that lurked inside you.”

And I really like this line because it sums up Kyrion’s arrogant, Mr. Darcy space assassin confidence:

“I am the weapon.”

So those are some of my favorite lines from Only Bad Options. I hope you all enjoyed this sneak peak at the book. Thank you for reading.

ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOKS:

There will be an audiobook of Only Bad Options, and I will share those links when they go online later this summer.

This is book #1 in my Galactic Bonds series. Basically, the series is science fiction fantasy — magic/powers mixed with spaceships, planets, technology, etc. Yes, there are blasters, and yes, I put a “Pew! Pew! Pew!” line in the book. 😎 

Only Bad Options also features:

• Space opera
• Soul mates
• Enemies to lovers
• Pew! Pew! Pew! action scenes
• A boiling lava planet of doom

If Only Bad Options sells well, then I will keep going with the series. Right now, I would like to make it a trilogy, but it does depend on the sales of book #1. So if you are interested in the book, please pre-order it, share with your friends, ask your local library to order a copy, etc.

This is very much a book of my heart, so I hope y’all buy/read/enjoy it. Thanks!
