My writing de facto is imagery. I love it. I feel it's what I'm good at— painting pictures with my words so that my readers can see, taste, and feel it.

The concept is simple: us librarians wrap up a bunch of books and write the genre and the first line of the first chapter. The hook. Books that got picked for a “Date” were almost always the ones with a catchy, eye grabbing, short but sweet, hook. I’m still experimenting with this in my own work, but as I read in my spare time, I’m always taking notes. These are some of my favorite attention grabbing hooks:
