Suggest a first line for TwitterLit!

Have a great first line you'd like to see on TwitterLit? Let me know about it by filling out the form below.

But wait! Not every first line can make the grade. The ground rules are:

1. It has to be the first sentence of the first chapter--not the introduction, not the prologue, etc.
2. It has to grab me.
3. I have to be able to verify it.
4. It has to be available via Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.co.uk.
5. No self-published books please.
6 It has to be short enough to fit in a Twitter post. (If you can't type the whole first sentence into the appropriate field below then it's too long.)
