The second reason for the red-letter is not so good. I told my fellow MuseItUp author, Penny Estelle, that I would showcase her Christmas story, The Unwanted Christmas Guest, bright and early this morning, in keeping with today's new release. But things never go as planned in my life, it seems! My computer froze up, the Internet went off for several hours, finally came back up but all I could do was get on FaceBook of all things, and then I couldn't pull up my email. So I am several hours late in posting this.
And the third reason is...my computer still is not reacting correctly, and I can't post either Penny's picture nor the lovely cover. But I'm still trying on that one.
Neverthe less, here is an excerpt from her Christmas story: please take a look, and comments are welcome!
I can’t tell you how excited
I am that my very first ever Christmas story is being released today. The
Unwanted Christmas Guest is a story about Elizabeth McMurphy, an up and
coming high powered attorney, who is after vengeance. Her sights are set on one of the richest and
most powerful families in Colorado
When one of the worst
blizzards in history, hits Colorado and leaves
a hurt Steve York, stranded with Elizabeth
Excerpt
“What’s
going on here? Where the hell are my pants?”
“I found you after your car went nose to nose with a tree.” She
crossed her arms. “The question is, what were you doing up here in a snowstorm?
Were you coming up here to spy on me?”
“Jesus, my head hurts.” Steve groaned and
sat at the kitchen table. “And don’t flatter yourself.” He brought up his hands
to rub his eyes and push on his temples. He started to say something when a
giggle and a round of undistinguishable sounds caught his attention. Steve
stared at the little girl, a whisper of a smile on his pale face. “You have a
daughter?”
She chose to ignore the question. “Again,
Mr. York, you were headed…where?”
“I was going to see some friends in Granby
“You figured on taking a short cut on Badger Springs Road
“Basically,” he muttered. “I had a phone
in my pants pocket…” Steve looked down at the pink sweats. “Yours, I presume?”
At her nod, he asked with a smirk, “And you’re the one that took my clothes
off?”
“Junior, my neighbor.”
“If you’ll allow me to use your phone,
I’ll call Triple A and get myself and my car out of your life.” He reached over
to Katy and she latched onto his finger, the brightest smile ever illuminating
her sweet face.
“Internet?”
“Nope.”
“How the hell do you live here?” he asked
irritably.

ReplyDeleteAND best of luck with Freedom Thief!!!!
Computers are wonderful and livesaving when they work good but when they don't, it's like we've gone back in the stone ages! What did we ever do without them?
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas story sounds really good and has me intrigued even without the picture of the cover. However, I'm sure the cover is fascinating too! Goodluck, Penny on the book!
