The long awaited excerpt

I know, I know. I've been promising you a teaser for weeks, but it's still under construction, doncha know. But a promise is a promise, and so here is a taste of the new book. What do you think?

A sneak peek

I've spent the last week combing through editor comments and making sure I haven't missed anything. BEING NEIGHBORLY is ready to make its debut next week. You can still get it for the early bird, bargain basement price of $0.99, but the price goes up July 13. Need more incentive to buy it? How about a little snippet?

She pulled into her garage, and when she walked to the back door, Heath was bent over his iPad with earplugs in.

“I told you to stay out of it,” he said, his voice low and threatening. “Don’t want to raise any red flags.”

Sue’s breath caught. Was he on the phone? What happened to the guy who was worried about being a dork?

Heath looked up, smiled, and tugged out his earbuds. “How was your day?”

They’d questioned him about his roommate’s death, which meant they must have had a basis for assuming he could be a killer. He seemed harmless, but after what she’d just heard, she wasn’t so sure. Sue crossed her arms and faced him, trying to decide what to say.

“Bad day, then?”

She was dying to ask him about his roommate. Dying to know what made his roommate’s death suspicious. It didn’t help that the book currently on her nightstand was a whodunnit, triggering her imagination with all the possibilities.

An excerpt from the upcoming release

Gathering Mist is in the hands of the editor. As promised, here's a little snippet:

     “I wanted to sketch the skyline by night.” She hesitated. “And I thought I’d watch the sun rise over the lake.”

     She’d drawn the canyon on the sidewalk overnight. Couldn’t she afford a hotel? Max was back to worrying she was homeless. “I couldn’t call myself a gentleman if I left you alone in the big city at night. Let me be your tour guide?”

     “I can take care of myself,” Robin said, irritation returning to her voice.

     Max stuck to his resolve. “I have no doubt about that, but it isn’t smart for a woman to be alone in the city at night.”

     “Are you calling me stupid?”

     Why was she being so defensive? Max never had trouble talking to women. He held up his hands. “You know I’m not. What’s this really about?”

     Robin stood akimbo. “Why should I trust you? I don’t know you.”

     Max glanced at the platforms. He should walk away from his fairy artist and go upstairs, grab something to eat while he waited for the 10:40 train. He was tempted, but the girl screamed vulnerability. He couldn’t, in good conscience, let her walk out into the urban jungle alone.

...

     As they neared the end of the shopping district, an ominous shadow approached the intersection ahead of them. Max tightened his grip across Robin’s shoulders. A group of people wearing dark clothes rounded the corner, walking toward them. A confrontation didn’t look promising, and he couldn’t tell if the glow was a result of the street light or the scary aura that would identify them as demons.

Have I whet your appetite? And have you read the first two in the "Mist" trilogy? Time to catch up - this one should be ready no later than November! Click on this link to find out more about this series.
