Snippet Sunday - February 9


I've just joined a group called Snippet Sunday. Members of this group post six sentences from something we've written. So here are six-ish sentences (one is really short, so I think the rules allow me to add another) from my latest release, "Operation Rhombus". It's a short story included in Love and Diamonds, available this week from Astraea Press:

"Yeah, where is Mr. Cramer, anyway?"
"He said he had to get some supplies for some school project," she told them.
"School project?" I wonder what project that would be," a girl to her right wondered.
The boy next to her nudged her. "Don't you remember? He was talking about it yesterday in trig class. Operation Rhombus."
"Operation Rhom— Oh yeah! I remember now."

Love and Diamonds is available at Astraea Press, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other ebook outlets.

Please come back on Wednesday for our Valentine Scavenger Hunt! All fifteen authors represented in the anthology are participating.

    Welcome to Sunday Snippets! No worries on the sentences -- you can go up to 10 and I don't think anyone actually counts them and flogs you with a wet noodle if you're over. At least, I've never been flogged by a wet noodle.

    Operation Rhombus? I can't wait to find out what that is!

      Thanks for the welcome, and for the reassurance. Wet noodles are the worst!

    I've just finished reading all these stories and am blown away by the diversity, depth and emotions in them all. I loved that the students and family got right behind the hero in this story..

    Operation Rhombus . . . could it have to do with a proposal, maybe? :D
