If you missed the
first few excerpts of DIFFICULT DECISIONS,
click here. Don't worry;
there's a link, which will bring you right back.
This week’s excerpt is from the first chapter:
“I’m sorry,” Lilith started, and to
Nicky’s amazement, she actually sounded sincere. “Your father had an accident
last night.” She paused allowing the words to sink in it seemed.
Nicky clinched the phone in her hand. “He’s
okay, then, right?”
“No, dear, he’s not. He hit a tree,
Nicky. But according to the emergency-room doctor, he died instantly.”
She sucked in a breath. “Thank you
for calling, Lilith. I’ll call you later. I have to go.”
Nicky dropped her head onto the
steering wheel of her car and wept. What difference did it make? Her father and
she had barely spoken in the last six years anyway, ever since she moved out of
that ridiculous household he called a home.
Difficult
Decisions will be out in a few 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 good fairytale be without a monsoon hitting.
All of my novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will hopefully make you cry, laugh, love, and hope. You can find my books at Amazon in ebook and print.

What a confusing time... to mourn a father you hadn't spoken to in so long. Heart-wrenching, but in a good way :)

Thank you, Amy. It is a difficult subject to tackle, especially killing off two parents in the first two chapters, but I do tell people I write fairytales...and I think one of the rules of a fairytale is that the protagonist be parentless. LOL! I promise I'll get to the romance and mystery faster than the last novel. :)
DeleteWow...well done six. Left me feeling bereft. Nice job in a painful situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Lea, but hopefully it was a good sort of bereft. That "happy you are reading something that is able to touch you' kind of feeling. It is tough when you want to build up a character and realize you have to put them through pain and suffering first. My poor characters. But hey, if it's any consolation, the main character had me crying yesterday while editing a scene near the end. She totally went and did what I told her not to do and brought the male protagonist and me to tears. I hope you understand and don't think I'm crazy. LOL!
DeleteHmm, a lot going on, mixed emotions for her, which you did a great job of describing. Sad but excellent six!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica. I always appreciate you stopping by. Heading your way now.
