Hi, Folks,
Here is another 8 Sentence Snippet from STUTTER CREEK.  It will be out  in two more weeks.  In this snippet, Beth has arrived at the cabin, which is where she first met her first crush, John Stockton.

            Beth was so glad to finally be at the cabin.  It brought back so many great memories, especially the memory of John, a huge young bear of a man.  He had been wandering close to their cabin when her dad had spied him and called him over.  His hair was dark blond hair and his eyes were the color of seawater.

            Thinking of those eyes now made her recall the protective way he would “spot” her every time she was about to do something daring, like swinging from the ancient knotted rope out over the lake.  She hadn’t even known it was there, but when he showed it to her, she’d clambered up onto the giant boulder to reach it before he could test it first.

            Remembering the way he’d stood, arms crossed over his bare chest, waiting for her to let go or return to the bank—poised to leap in and pull her out if necessary—those were the memories that had brought her back each and every year until she’d met and married Sam.

            Beth rubbed her arms and put away the past.
