Lucky 7 is a blog challenge passed along to me by friend and fellow author RJ McDonnell.
The challenge is to blog 7 lines from unpublished works of fiction. Here are the instructions sent by RJ:
1. Go to page 7 or 77 in your current manuscript (fiction or non-fiction)
2. Go to line 7
3. Post on your blog the next 7 lines, or sentences, as they are – no cheating
4. Tag 7 other authors to do the same.

Here are the 7 lines on page 7 from my unpublished novel Best Left Buried, in the works.

"You ladies want dessert?" He gave us a big smile.

"No," Sara said.

"We are going to get our own, but thanks." I told him.

"Okay then. See you later." He returned to his car with his eyes on me the whole time.

"What are you gonna do, go out with him?" Sara asked.

"I dunno," I said with a shrug. "Maybe."

"What about your mom and dad? They're not gonna like this."
Started a new novel - Best Left Buried about a woman who is haunted by past scars.  She is thrown into a revenge plan to make an ex high school sweetheart pay for ruining her life.  For writing samples, email me at kellisuelandon@yahoo.com

New Camp Forrestwood Review!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery and Fear Mount: Great YA Mystery, August 30, 2011
If you are a fan of YA Mystery, then you will love this book. I loved her first novel, 'Sudden Moves: A Young Adult Mystery', however, 'Nightmare at Camp Forrestwood' is even better. Intense and suspenseful. (Yes, Forrestwood is spelled correctly.)

REVIEW

The book has a slow start as each character was brought into play. Once the action starts, you get pulled through so quickly, you become part of the story -- frantic, scared, and running for your life through the dark woods, pursued by an unknown assailant.

The immature and "high-school" in-fighting between students was spot on, yet it seemed more like students from Detention on a camping trip, rather than the Senior class. Landon used this interwoven clash of classes to feed the nature of the plot.

Mystery and fear mounts as students start to disappear. I took a loud audible breath when the first victim was discovered brutally murdered. All 'tough guy' and 'upper class' facades crumbled, and what was left were teenagers, caught alone, in a horrific circumstance of murder. Speculation and accusations start to surface, as Landon takes fear to the next level -- terror. Panic ensues, resulting in rash behavior, causing students to run foolishly out into the night, unprotected and vulnerable.

Until the first murder, I was certain the entire "scare" was some horrible teen prank. I found myself pulled into the story, and running with them, struggling to survive. And what was unnerving, and expertly written, was the identity of the killer remained a secret until the end of the book.

"Nightmare at Camp Forrestwood" is Kelli Sue Landon's second novel and a hit. I recommend this for the tween reader on up... (there is minor cussing and a very minor suggestive segment, that adults may not find appropriate for younger children).

Thank you, Kelli, for another great YA Mystery. I look forward to your next adventure.

I received this novel directly from the Author.
