Snippet Sunday and Weekend Writing Warriors



Yesterday was release day! Turnaround Farm released from Wings ePress. This is one of my favorite books, and I think you'll like it too. Let me share a blurb with you and an except where you'll meet my heroine Holly Grant.  When you finish here you can find more excerpts at:

Dedicated career girl Holly Grant has no time for romance. She doesn’t need a man to complete her, thank you very much. Building Grant Realty takes all of her time and attention. If she can close a deal for Turnaround Farm her business will take off like a rocket. Her first problem is that Jeb Wakefield doesn’t want to sell his farm, and her second problem is Jeb’s grandson Dan, the finest looking man Holly’s ever seen.
Turnaround Farm is available at https://wingsepress.com/turnaround-farm/ 

Excerpt: Chapter One

“You’ve lost your mind,” Loretta Patterson moaned as she doggedly trudged down the rough, graveled road behind Holly. “It’s twenty degrees out here and getting colder by the minute. We have no business coming out in weather like this.”

“The roads are icy, and our car slid into a ditch too,”her employer Holly Grant said with a grin. She bent her head against the bitter driving wind that almost took her breath away. “It isn’t like you to forget something like that, Loretta.”

“As if I could,” Loretta retorted, teeth chattering. “Why couldn’t you have waited for the weather to improve to see the Wakefields?

Holly glanced at the forbidding gray landscape. The clouds looked low enough to touch and thick enough to choke you.

  1. I adore romances where the woman is driven and hardworking. Great conversation between the two women. Let's us know they have known each other a long time.

  4. Definitely not good weather to be out in! And that cloud description is ominous as heck!

  5. This sounds like a great read. I enjoyed the snippet, and like others, I found the cloud description very effective in creating the atmosphere.
