New #SixSunday from #WIP, LAND OF THE #NOONDAY SUN, available this spring. #AmWriting #MyWana #Novelines #BlogTaxi
My newest novel, Land of the Noonday Sun, will be available this spring, so until then, I figured I’d give you a little taste of the prologue—six sentences at a time—until it publishes.
“Walter,” his mother whispered as she opened his door. She hadn’t entered his bedroom in years. He cringed as he awaited more of her wrath. “I’m sorry,” she murmured, sitting down gracefully on the edge of his bed. “It wasn’t your fault; I’m sorry I hit you.”
He puckered his lips and sniffed as he attempted to retain the tears, “It’s okay, Mom, it was my fault; everything was my fault.”
Want more? There is a sneak peek of Land of the Noonday Sun at the end of She Belongs to Me, available now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback. Yes, he is definitely blaming himself, and it starts out very sad---sorry. But, such is life, right? We have to lose something sometimes to find our way.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned as I reveal six more sentences each week until the books is published this spring.
