Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! I have something a bit different for you this week: The Man Who Could Transfuse Time by Dennis E. Hensley, which releases next Tuesday, 24th April. It’s certainly an interesting premise!
~ About the Book ~
One night amid the tremors of death in the intensive care unit, Nurse Peggy Chandlar witnesses an incredible phenomenon that compels her to find out what really happened to Dr. Francis Anderson.
Ian Moore is pursued by those who would exploit his gift for their own selfish and destructive means. Hunted and threatened, he is forced to risk his life as time rapidly slips away. When the use of his powers gives Dr. Anderson new life, his years of hiding may have come to an end.
Haunted by the fear he will die before he can find someone worthy enough to possess the power of the gift, Ian sees only one solution. In a last, desperate attempt, he must risk a plan that will either bless or curse mankind forever.
~ First Line ~
Death never came quietly. It always made some kind of noise.
Quite the opening, isn’t it?

What an intriguing description and first line! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m sharing the first line of the latest novel from James L Rubart, The Man He Never Was on my blog.
I’m currently reading The Esther Paradigm by Sarah Monzon, a modern marriage of convenience story based on the Book of Esther. Here’s the first line of the Prologue:
Hannah Pratt stared out across the grainy hills as the wind blew a gentle kiss over the crest.
Last November I had a nightmare. – The House at Riverton by Kate Morton
Happy Friday!
That is a great first line — When I read the title, I was wondering what it meant about “transfusing time” — sounds intriguing.
No FLF for me today – I have a book release! PTL! – But right now, I’m reading The Cottage by Michael Phillips. Here’s the first line:
“The letter two weeks before had been brief. Less than half a page. Yet in an instant it had turned her life upside down.”
That’s an excellent first line. It kind of reminds me of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Happy Friday!
Today over at my blog, I am sharing the first line from the novel An Improper Proposal by Davalynn Spencer. Here, I will share the first line from Janet Ferguson’s novel Leaving Oxford.
“Baby steps. Sarah Beth LeClair forced one foot in front of the other and willed herself to soak in the new life bursting around her on the University of Mississippi campus.”
Captivating first line. 🙂 On my blog today, I’m sharing the first line from Jody Hedlund’s book, Love Unexpected. Here, I will share the first line from the second chapter of the book I’m currently reading, Mail-Order Revenge by Angela K. Couch. “The town of Bumble Bee appeared to consist of the sign bearing its peculiar name and a cluster of rustic buildings.” Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
My first line is from The Redemption of Lillie Rourke by Loree Lough…
“Rain sheeted down the grimy window and puddled on the blacktop, and a dozen identical buses lined up in angled parking slots.”
blessings, Tina
To be young again–it sounds like a lovely idea. 🙂 Happy Friday!
ooh this looks like a good one!
The book I’m sharing on my blog is The Butterfly and the Violin, but I’ll share here what I’m currently reading- All Things New by Lynn Austin: “Josephine Weatherly thought she’d already lived through the darkest hour of this endless war, but she had been wrong.” Hope you have a great weekend!
That does sound interesting! I’m sharing from Where the Fire Falls on my blog today but I’m currently reading The Backcountry Brides Collection, so here is the first line from the first novella, Shenandoah Hearts by Carrie Fancett Pagels:
Prologue
Philadelphia 1753
“Ladysmith, you have a gentleman caller–maybe two.” The voice of her employer, Jacob Owens, held a slight tease.
Happy Friday!
