Six Sentence Sunday

-
Dakota Whitmore is not the world's best traveler. And Drue, her snarky assistant, won't let her forget it! Is it true they only tease you when they like you?


Drue continued to ask for the annoyance factor, but Dakota really did look terrible post-flight, kinda like a cross between someone waiting for a heart transplant and a crash-test dummy on the wrong side of an accident. “Maybe you should have skipped the last four rum and sodas and saved your liver the aggravation.”

“It wasn’t that much! I’m a nervous flier and a dram or two helps to sooth my tension.”

“I could tell by the white-knuckled grip-of-death you had on the armrest. Real Zen-like.”

    I think she might have had a little more than "a dram" but, I'm with Dakota. She flies like I do. Great six!

    Happy Easter Jennifer!

    I'm with Dakota. Love take-offs...hate landings. Drue's Zen comment surely got under her skin, but I do sense a spark between them even though Drue seems determined to douse it in snark.

    Great six, and I still love the premise for this one.

    LOL
    Can't blame a girl for trying to find her "happy place."
    Nice sense of humor in these six.

    I'm with Dakota, especially if we hit turbulence or are taking off on a windy day. Good character-building details!

She's serving up mayhem in the Magic City.... FINAL STRAW  Dishing out bad news is Jackie Parker's job. So when her boss grabs her assets one time too many, she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is to spend time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan--AKA the Dark Prince. FINAL WARNING Despite Logan's objections, Luke asks her to join forces in their own property management team, Damaged Goods. Drawing the line between professional and personal lives proves challenging, especially when Logan serves her an ultimatum--tell Luke the truth about what really happened the night they first met, or he will. Sexual harassment is looking better and better. FINAL NOTICE Fester Gomez is three months behind on the rent for his pricey South Beach condo and Damaged...

  Have you checked out my new series yet? This is a duology (a finished series of just two books) in the up and coming Women's Paranormal Fiction genre, meaning that the heroine is over forty.

Get it for just $2.49 at Amazon.com or Amazon CA !

From my WIP, new mystery series Country Fried City Girl. My heroine, Andy, has a full plate dealing with her aging and extremely stubborn grandfather. “Stop talking like that. You’re an educated man, for cripes sakes. And yes, you are going to church because I want to make sure God doesn’t put you on his shit list. Good Christians go to church after they find dead bodies in their houses.” Pops sent me a skeptical look and muttered, “Pretty sure that ain’t in the Bible.” “Well since you were there when it was written, you would know.”
