Welcoeme back, Sixers! Today I'm in Phoenix with my twin writing sister Cara Michaels, enjoying Arizona Dreamin': Romance Reader Event. It was awesome and so great to see so many authors and readers in one place. I'm sure there will be incriminating photos later. In the meantime, thank you so much for coming to visit my snippet. I really appreciate it and will try to get back to all my commentors when I return home.
In this snippet of my newest release, Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack, Julianna Morris has met with the hero, Jeff Lightfoot, for the first time in eighteen years, at her father's funeral. She'd always had a connection to Jeff, but this time he feels it too. The scene is written in Julianna's POV.
Jeff’s eyes
widened, and he inhaled deeply like his sister had earlier. His grip tightened
on her hand, and his arm flexed as if he was going to jerk her into his
embrace.
Yes, yes, give me a hug. Let me rub against you.
But he came back
to himself and his environment at that moment, and his arm relaxed into a
regular handshake. Disappointment surged through her.
Darn those public places with her mother and the whole town watching! Thanks so much for stopping by. There several very good authors on the Six Sentence Sunday list and a few of my favorites are Cara Bristol, Dianne Hartsock, Goran Zidar, Zee Monodee, Silver James, and Sarah Ballance. Happy reading! :)
One of these days I will get the name of this book right! *facepalm*
ReplyDeleteThe connection is palpable. good job :)
Great job creating a powerful moment. The title cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteI love her inner monologue. It doesn't hurt that I love pack stories, 'cause their interactions can be so sensual and you hit that nail on the head. Great six.
ReplyDeleteShe's going to have to try herder to get him. Great six! :)

ReplyDeletePesky public places! Great six, Siobhan.
ReplyDeleteVery animalistic, but not so much as to attract attention in public. That works well.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I love the tension.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. A funeral's not the place, bitch. (I bred dogs for years, so bitch is NOT an insult.)
ReplyDelete"Yes, yes, give me a hug" -- love that! Your six are always so much fun.
ReplyDelete"Let me rub against you." <<I LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm feeling some fire-cracker heat between these two! Great six, Siobhan. Enjoy the event and come home safe!
ReplyDeleteSo close... and yet... finished with the regular handshake. Cool snippet - communicated her feelings well. Have fun at the event and stay safe.
