Welcome
back to Snippet Sunday at Creative Hodgepodge! I have one more snippet from The Friendship Star Quilt, co-written
with my friend Stephanie Michels. This dialogue happens only a few minutes
after those from April 13's snippet:
A
few minutes later, an early model sedan raced into the lot in front of the
shop, and skidded to a halt. The driver’s side opened, and a tall man in a blue
windbreaker jumped out. His dark hair practically stood on end, as if he’d been
running worried fingers through it. He glanced around, spotted the shop, and
hurried toward it. Without a word, he rushed to Jennie’s side and scooped her
up in a tight embrace.
“Jennie,
I am so, so sorry! I knew the party was over at five-thirty. I should have set
the alarm on my phone. I’m so sorry you had to wait for me.”
The Friendship Star Quilt is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords, as well as other ebook outlets. It’s the second
book in the Stitching Post series. Book One, The Calico Heart, is a finalist for a RONE award (Reward of Novel
Excellence) in the Contemporary – General category!
Awww.... But it sounds like Dad was more traumatized than Jennie was!
ReplyDeleteHe gets an E for effort and a G for guilt! :D
ReplyDeleteWe'll at least he came! Congrats on the
ReplyDeleteI hope that Anne lets him have it! Yes, he should have set his alarm. And his daughter will remember this event the rest of her life. Speaking from experience here. No, I'm not traumatized. Not at all. Twitch.:-D
