Aimee Sherwood never dreamed that following her fiancé into the witness protection pro-gram would land her in a haunted house in a town that’s downright creepy.

“I told you, don’t call me hon!”
Rocky’s manager, Rich Stewart, shut the door behind him and strolled over to them. “What’s wrong with the two of you?

Sounds like the massage hasn't managed to make everyone relax.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s wrong with the two of you?
ReplyDeleteI love the sly humour in this, Elaine! My guess is we discover this at length ;-)

Wonderful job, painting the scene, Elaine. I like the premise of this story!
ReplyDeleteI am very intrigued by the story. It promises to be anything but boring. Enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to finding out about your family shenanigans. If they're anything like my family, I know it will be a fun ride! I already want to know more about these characters, so great start.

Your book sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteInteresting beginning to the tale, quite a set of circumstances you're going to unravel for us! Enjoyed the snippet....
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun story. Truth sometimes is harder to believe than fiction, and yes, some families are just boring!

ReplyDeleteBean ball battles with Marilyn Monroe. That sounds intriguing on its own. Sounds like a fun family.
Intriguing blurb. Interesting tension between the characters already.
ReplyDeleteThis was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing! :D
ReplyDeleteIntriguing snippet. Loved the blurb. Makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteFamilies be crazy! XD
ReplyDeleteGreat blurb and a hooking snippet. :)
Great first snippet ... love the blurb and look forward to reading more!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of parent does that to their kid? Unless he isn't actually named Rocky, in which case I question his choice of nicknames. And his lack of empathy!
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to have such a loving relationship. I wonder what they are going there together.
ReplyDeleteLoved this scene, great snippet.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be a story with quite a few laughs based on that blurb. Sounds interesting. I wonder why she doesn't like to be called hon.
