Sweet Saturday Sample

Welcome to my blog!  In today's sample my heroine's friend Julie tells her something terrible about my hero Rob.  The Table in the Window is available at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. 

Marley flinched. “That’s a lie. How dare you say such things about Rob?”

“Because they’re true.” Julie’s lip curled. “Ask him if you don’t believe me.”

Rob approached their table with two cups on a tray. Julie had lied. She had to have lied.

.

He set the tea in front of Marley. “Ladies, I recommend the chicken.”

Marley jumped from her seat. In a move eerily reminiscent of the day Michael broke up with her, she bumped into Rob and almost made him spill Julie’s coffee. “Call me later,” she whispered in his ear. “We have to talk.”

Help! My Blog's Been Hijacked!

Hello!  My name is Violet Emerson, er, Violet McCallum.  I’m not used to my married name yet.  Elaine told my story and that of my husband Matt in her book A New Dream.  Matt and I decided that since Elaine works so hard we’d do her blog for her in December.  We have all kinds of things planned, don’t we, Matt?

We sure do.  We might even offer a contest or two.  If you should see Elaine, please tell her that everything is going just fine.  She’s a little worried about leaving the blog for so long. 

Well, Matt, she needn’t be.  Let’s start off by sharing some cute, inexpensive Christmas gift ideas.

Gift ideas?  Are you hinting about what you want for Christmas?

(Violet giggles.)  Nope.  You’re on your own there.  Here’s the first gift I like.  It's so colorful and fun.  These Raja salad servers are from French Bull and only cost $15.

Uh, Violet, since you run a catering company, you would like the salad servers.  What do you have for us guys?

Well, you’re getting a Kindle Fire as soon as possible, right?

Yep.

Then, how do you like this extreme sleeve?  It’s supposed to protect your Kindle from drops and falls.

(Matt kisses her forehead.)  I love it, baby.  How much does it cost, and where do we get it?

Buy it at http://shop.g-form.com/products/extreme-edge-for-kindle-fire-7-tablet for $34.95

(Matt kisses her again.  He has a hard time NOT kissing her.)  Readers, can I pick a woman or what?  Honey, I’d like to share the last gift idea.

(Violet looks doubtful.)  Okay, what is it?

Why not get a copy of Elaine’s Christmas story The Table in the Window?  It’s only $1.99 at http://www.astraeapress.com.  It should be released in the next few days.

Oh, Matt, what a good idea!  Readers can’t ever have enough books! 

(Matt laughs.)  The readers might even like to buy our book.  Now that’s a great gift.  It’s on the bestseller list at Astraea Press.  Check back on Friday, folks.  Violet’s taking over Elaine’s Fashionista Friday post.

Sweet Saturday Sample

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today's sample comes from my very soon to be released Christmas novel The Table in the Window.  We're hoping for a Black Friday release.  The book will be available at http://www.astraeapress.com

He reached for Marley’s hand as they got off the elevator. “Did you have a good time tonight?”

Marley ducked her head and blushed when she saw the hot light dancing in his eyes.  "You know I did."

He gently raised her chin and stared into her eyes. “You have beautiful eyes,” he whispered.

Marley’s heart took off in a mad gallop. Every single nerve ending in her body sang with his nearness. He slowly bent his head and grazed her lips with his own. “Kissing you takes my breath away,” he muttered.
