Since it’s Father’s Day and one of my books has a character that once had a very special bond with her father before his murder, thought I’d share a snippet from my award-winning futuristic romance, Midnight’s Ghost (one of my few non-erotic titles):
Nothing, short of death, was going to separate me from my holowatch since it had been a gift from my father. Considering it was the last time I saw him alive, it was a piece I held close to my heart.
“It’s my way of hanging on to him, Wallace,” I said quietly, staring out at nothing in particular.
“Careful, someone may see that crack in your kick ass, tough girl exterior.”
I snorted and pushed aside thoughts of my father and his untimely death. “Lying naked with you on the deck of my engine room isn’t enough to shatter that image?”
For those new to this, the rules are simple:
1) pick a project – a current Work in Progress, contracted work or even something readers can buy if you’re published
2) pick six sentences
3) post ‘em on Sunday

Such a nice moment to get a glimpse inside her character and then I like how you change the tone with that last sentence.
Love that last line! What a great six!

Perfect choice for Father’s Day! Really enjoyed your six, Sara.
What a wonderful way to show a softer side of a “kick ass” heroine. Nice Father’s Day tribute.

Wonderful tribute on Father’s Day!
Oooooh, naked in the engine room. Fabulous!
I love these two! And, what a hot line from him about her kick ass exterior. Ooh, la, la.
I love strong women and the men who try to get a hold of their hearts! Great six!!
Excellent snippet. I’m hooked.
Very nice both in the timing with Father’s Day and showing the feel of the book. Well done!
