Six Sentence Sunday 8-19-12

I can't believe it's Sunday again already.  I think this may be the last SixSunday post before All For Love comes out.  If things are on track, it is set to be released on August 23rd.  I plan to have a giveaway as soon as it goes live, so if you're interested, please watch for that.  

In today's six, Liz is thinking back to the first time Quinn asked her for a kiss.  She was so surprised, she automatically said no.  It was the first time anyone had asked, rather than just ... kissed.  These are her thoughts:


But that night when I said no to the first kiss, even then I’d known he wouldn’t run away. Our connection was so complete it never entered my mind that he would turn away later. I knew, inside my heart and inside my head, that he was the one for me. In fact, after the second date, the kissless date, he called and we talked on the phone through the night. Around dawn, I hung up after the requisite “you first, no you.” It’s amazing how we talked about everything and everyone we’d ever known, and yet we skirted all the important issues until they came around later on down the road and crushed my soul into fine dust which blew away across the desert like ash poured from a crematory urn.

Okay, that's it.  Here's the link if you want to check out some of the other super snippets: http://www.sixsunday.com/

Six Sentence Sunday May 27, 2012


Welcome to another installment of Six Sentence Sunday.  Still taking scenes from my upcoming Contemporary Romance, All for Love.  (Due out September 22, 2012)  Last week the sentences were from the scene where Liz first encountered the intriguing guy who dashed through their volleyball game without stopping.  This week’s scene is immediately after:

            We all flopped down, exhausted.  I looked around for the smiling boy who’d saved my game, but he was nowhere to be seen. 
            “Who was that?” I asked the group at large.
            Boyd cocked an eyebrow at me.  “Quinn Rose,” he said.  “Chick chasing him was Delilah, his girlfriend.”

Okay, that does it for this week.  Thanks for visiting!  More to come next week.  To check out other author’s Six—go here:

Six Sentence Sunday 4-29-12

Excerpt from the very beginning of my women's novel, due out Sept. 22.  This is the working title, I'm sure it will soon change... 



                              How Long Does it Take to Fall Out of Love?


            We were drinking iced tea at our favorite sidewalk cafĂ© when the plastics plant exploded.
            One moment Ronnie was checking my left hand to see if my wedding ring was still there, and the next thing I knew she was crawling across the blistered sidewalk in slow motion, reaching out for me.             Ronnie and I have been friends since college.  She and Carol were my dorm mates.  The best friends I've ever had.  But college was a long time ago. 



This begins the tale of Liz and Quinn.  The story is told in flashbacks as Liz struggles to find out if her husband, Quinn, has survived the explosion of the plastics plant where he works.   

That's it for today!  See ya next Sunday.  If you would like to participate in Six Sentence Sunday, simply go to http://www.sixsunday.com/
