Could there be a more dramatic love story?


I was reminded of this love story the other day while watching the Today Show. Wow. What would you give up for love?

From the Heart Romance Writers


On the 27th of every month, I drop by the blog for From the Heart Romance Writers.

After I joined RWA, From the Heart Romance Writers was the first group I became a member of. The critique groups, the knowledge of the members, the feel of being surrounded by other authors: well-published, and beginners, made me feel 'official'. That was years ago, and I'm still amazed by this group of authors today.

Drop by; read my post, and take a look around at some of the others. You just might be as amazed as I am at the talented authors in the group.

Countdown to My Son

My short story, My Son, will be available from Red Rose Publishing October 21, 2010.

Here's a blurb:

Sex, liquor, and men are not always a good thing. Kelly Ann Mitchell discovers this the hard way. One night of confusion, and misplaced trust result in a mistake she can’t take back. Forced to make a choice, she chooses the only thing she can live with which changes her life, and the lives of everyone around her forever.

Charles Mitchell failed his family, his daughter, once. He’s determined not to do it again. Jerry Harte must pay for what he’s done, and Charles will be the one to make sure he does.

Here's an excerpt:

A loud pounding sounded on the living room door. The boisterous voice demanding attention disturbed him.

“Charlie-boy, I know you’re in there. Open the fucking door.” The door rattled. “Charlie-boy, open the fucking door!”

The sound of Jerry’s voice, combined with Charles’ childhood nickname brought back memories. Memories that could make it hard for him to do what he had to.

He stared down the hall at Justin’s room. He had no way of locking the door, so, he had to make sure this didn’t happen here. Another time, another place, and he’d detach his guest’s head from his damn body.

The stench of cheap liquor filled the air as Jerry stumbled through the opened door, his unsteady balance throwing him into Charles’ chest. Odd purplish-black bruises marred Jerry’s fair complexion.

As kids, they were the “two musketeers.” They didn’t need a third. Back in their day, two light skinned brothers didn’t have to do anything but walk into a room.

Charles heaved Jerry up against the open door, attempting to block out the memory. “What in the hell are you doing here, man?”

Jerry tugged at his bloody, torn t-shirt. His hand brushed across his lips, wiping away blood and drool. He stiffened his back and stared at Charles. His words dragged. “I—I heard you’ve been looking for me.”
