If you missed the
first few excerpts of Entangled Dreams,
click here. Don't worry; there's a link, which will bring
you right back.
Last week Nicky
explained her estranged relationship with her father, mostly over her boyfriend,
and the fact that even though she just heard about her father’s death, she
still had to go to work or she wouldn’t be able to pay the rent.
This week’s
excerpt:
Jonathan wasn’t home when she stepped
inside their small apartment, so he wouldn’t be able to drop her off at work.
That was good. It would mean he wouldn’t be able to forget to pick her up
afterward either.
After attempting to wash away her
problems in a steaming-hot shower, she pulled on her short-shorts and
skin-tight top, tying it into a knot behind her back, and then brushed her hair
up into a ponytail. After dabbing on thick, black mascara, she was out the door
in minutes.
As soon as she stepped off the flight
of stairs to their apartment, Jonathan jumped out of an old, beat-up Camaro. “Hey,
babe! Good, I just caught you. Joey from work just dropped me off, but I was
hoping I could take you to work, so I could use the car.”
Joey from work, she thought internally. She wondered what kind of work her boyfriend was doing this week. Not wanting to fight about the car, she sighed.
Entangled Dreams will be out in a couple of months, but if
you’d like to read the first three chapters, they are at the end of my current
romantic-suspense, LAND OF THE
NOONDAY SUN.
About me:
I write
modern-day fairytales filled with romance, mystery, suspense, and of course,
tragedy. After all, what would a fairytale be without a tragic event setting
the stage? All of my novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not
graphic and will hopefully make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.
I love talking
about all things books, so please connect with me via one of the links below.
Books available:
When
two strangers have nothing left but their dreams, they must forge a
relationship in Nantahala, North Carolina, a small town known as Land of the
Noonday Sun.
After
secrets and a mysterious background leave a wife’s life hanging by a thread, a
husband must look for answers in the only place he knows—the past.
Now available at:
Yeah, and if he's 'working', why isn't she able to take the day off and morn the loss of her father instead of worrying about paying rent????
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question, MJ. And as I said last week, we kind of have to forgive Nicky; she's only twenty-two and thinks people will change, remember? LOL!
DeleteJoey, huh? I wonder.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Elaine. I hope you'll come back next week.
DeleteGot me wondering about Joey and the type of work they were doing...intriguing six!
ReplyDeleteYep, I think that's what she was thinking too. Glad to see you were back in business today, DeAnna. Enjoyed your snarky gal, and of course a little more info on your protag. ;)
DeleteSounds complicated but definitely makes me want to know more, and I feel protective of your heroine. Great six!
ReplyDeleteHence, ENTANGLED DREAMS. You know me, Veronica. I have to take them through hades...and use the crooked route at the same time. ;)
DeleteThese six got me wanting to know more. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Samantha. I'll be posting the first three chapters until it publishes in August. I hope you'll come back.
DeleteGreat six, I'm wondering why he needs to use her car...I want to know more. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jazmine. I hope you will come back for more. I'll be sharing the first three chapters until it publishes in August. :)
