Sunday Snippet

I haven't played Sunday Snippets for some time, but having just gotten back my rights to A Knight in Cowboy Boots (yes, I got them back almost two weeks earlier than expected), I thought something special was called for.



   “So what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?”    
   Maddie laughed. It should have sounded old, trite, and corny, but nothing said in that drawl could sound anything but enchanting. Her laughter lit something deep in Mr. East Texas’s dark eyes. She suddenly felt warm. Sitting-in-front-of-a-fire-on-a-cold-winter-night warm. The flutter in her heart moved into the pit of her stomach.
  “Don’t tell the bartender, but I’m casing the place to see if I want his job,” she said.
   The bartender's eyebrows rose, but he didn’t comment. He’d no doubt seen this dance often enough.


I've reissued the book and it's available on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Kobo, and Itunes. A few other places are scheduled so if you have another favorite online retailer, it might be showing up there soon.

Thursday Writing Quote ~ McKee

Deus ex machina not only erases all meaning and emotion, it's an insult to the audience. Each of us knows we must choose and act, for better or worse, to determine the meaning of our lives...Deus ex machina is an insult because it is a lie. ~ Robert McKee

Thursday Writing Quote ~ Stein

The function of suspense is to put the reader in danger of an overfull bladder. ~ Sol Stein
