Excerpt:
“Brett! Over here!” Derrick calls, waving me to the
bar. I peer up to see a busty blonde already leaning over,
talking to him. Just his type. Female.
Settling in beside him, I put my phone on the bar.
“Double shot of Beam and a Yuengling, please.”
“Is purposing that big a deal?” Derrick’s
eyebrows raise over his beer glass.
I stare at him, picking my phone back up. “I was just
offered a job at a newspaper as their food writer.”
“Dude! Congrats!” Derrick raises his glass and
chugs the remains.
I grin. “It’s in Austin, Texas.”
Derrick gives me a weird look. “Austin? How the hell did
that happen?”
Busty sets my shot down and I immediately throw it back.
“They ran across my blog and love my style. They want to do a phone
interview asap.” A glimmer of excitement bubbles through my
stomach.
Being a food blogger has been a dream job but
the random news articles for the Raleigh News and Observer have been my passion.
They have given me the chance to get my face on television and my voice on
the radio. The possibilities with a regular article could open a lot of
doors.
“This is a bit to take in.” I sip on my beer. “What if
Holly doesn’t want to go?” Taking another person into consideration is a
slap of reality. I can’t take this job if she doesn’t come. Not that she
has a reason to say no.
“Well, it’s not too late to take that ring back.”
Derrick gives me a pointed look.
“Not cool, Dude.”
“I’m just saying. Give it some thought. Don’t jump ahead
of what you want.”
I shake my head and stare at the food menu.
“So, there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you.”
“What?” I continue to stare at the menu. I need
some fries… maybe some wings too…
“Why did you ask me to come get a ring with you?”
“What do you mean?”
Derrick scratches his chin. “Well, you have a brother. I
just thought that’s you would want Tim to be there.”
I shrug. “Tim’s been a bit put-offish
lately. I don’t know what his deal is.” I flag Busty down to
order. “Beside, you’re kinda like the brother I never wanted.” I
laugh as Derrick punches my arm.
“Thanks asshole. Love you too.”
Hello everyone!
Thank you so much BookLover Sue for
having me by today! I’m so excited for the release of my new book, Runaway
Road. In honor of its release, BookLover Sue has asked me… What are my top 5
favorite books/authors? I’ll tell you now; it wasn’t an easy list to make!
Without further ado, here’s my Top 5. Make sure to tell me yours in the
comments!
Much Love!
5. The Baby-Sitters Club
series Ann. M. Martin- Takes some of you back, doesn't it? J I ate these books
up as a kid. They’re what made me such an avid reader- so much in fact that I
was reading at a high school level in 3rd grade.
4. Colleen Hoover- I
was a bit late to the game with CoHo. But, you know, better late than never,
right? I started with Losing Hope and just fell in love with her style. Plus,
she did it. She started off Indie and hit the big time- something I really hope
to accomplish someday. Plus, have you seen any of her social media?? Hilarious!
3. The Harry Potter series-
I’m a dork. Like, a big dork. In fact, I’m wearing Ninja Turtle socks as we
speak J And the dork in me fell in love with the Wizarding World and
J.K. Rowling. She has such a fantastic imagination and has created characters
that can rip your heart out with just a simple phrase… like ‘Always’
2. Brightside by Kim Holden-
I was told by my friend that I just had
to read this. I finally got it and started. One night, I got off work around
11:30 and was still wired from my shift. Even though I had to be back at 8 the
next morning, I decided that maybe reading a little will relax me. 5 am and my
eyes are basically swollen shut from the tears. I couldn’t put it down! Kate is
one of those characters that really spoke to me. She’s someone I strive to be-
a better person who sees the Brightside to everything, no matter how hard it
is.
1. All Around The Town by
Mary Higgins Clark- So tough to decide on a #1 book/author but after really
thinking about it, this one is it. I read it in my 7th grade English
class. It was probably the first “adult” book I read. My other favorites (The
Giver, Where the Red Fern Grows and The Outsiders) all have tough situations
but this one has one layer after another. It’s a suspense about a girl who was
kidnapped as a young child by a couple. She develops multiple personality
disorder to cope with the husband abusing her. They return her after someone
recognizes her picture from the news. Flash forward to her adult life, where
her favorite college professor is murdered and she’s the main suspect. I think
I’ve read it 10 times.
