First Chapter of Little White Lies! Wanna read it?
And here … we … go! (Reload this page if a little book widget isn’t showing below — seems to take two tries!)
The whole thing is in the link above. Here’s a little teaser, too.
The in-dash display of Charley Randall’s burgundy roadster read eleven fifty. She needed every minute until midnight to reach her destination. Pedal to floor, the car hugged the curves with nothing more than a slight adjustment left or right. Headlights burned through the dark, illuminating the double, center lines.
Charley blew past warning signs for fallen rock, deer, and the oncoming dead-end at double the posted speed. She relied on her knowledge of her mountain’s terrain to get her home in one piece.
Another check of time revealed only eight minutes remained.
Her teeth ground together, knuckles paled. “You’ll make it, Char.” She blew out the breath she held and pounded the leather wheel with her palm. If she hadn’t stayed late for a celebratory drink, she’d have been on time.
The clock blinked eleven fifty-five.
She pressed the accelerator, as if to will the car faster, but slowed as the most dangerous of turns approached.
Eleven fifty-six.
The rapid blink of a vehicle’s emergency lights jumped into view as she rounded the curve. A single gasp accompanied the swerve. The steering wheel shook under her palms as the tires objected to the force of her turn and squealed into the dark of night. A cloud of dust rose around her as the car slid to the edge of the road and came to rest in a shallow ditch.
Eleven fifty-eight.
Whatcha think?
You already know what I think of this beauty 🙂
I do! Wheeeeeeee! 🙂
ooo, intriguing! Very nice! Very nice indeed.
Thanks, Jen! 🙂
Oh-oh!!! I do, I do!!! I’m going to wait until I have it in my hot little hands on July 1st, though. I’m not good at waiting, especially if I wet my appetite with the first chapter. 🙂
Hehehehee. I can’t wait either!! 🙂 🙂
Read every one of your beautiful words. Looks so professional in book format. Can’t wait to purchase two copies. One for me, and one for my mum who will adore this story. (She reads books like other people eat food).
Ooh! Yeah! SOoooooooooooooo glad you liked it! 🙂 And I already love your Mom!! 🙂 Ha!
Awesome! I didn’t read it all – don’t want to spoil it for myself : )
Soon, soon, you can read it all! 🙂
