I’m trying something new and signing up for Six Sentence Sunday. All over the web, writers are posting six sentences, offering a glimpse or a blink, from a novel or work-in-progress. .
I picked Backlash, my romantic suspense novel that releases June 1st from The Wild Rose Press.
He needed to know if she tasted the same. Felt the same. And she was right there. In front of him. All he had to do was bend his head. Just a fraction of a movement and his self-imposed exile would end.
Hope you enjoyed the little sneak peek. If you’re so inclined, use the the link at the top to check out more offerings.
What a clever idea to promote interest! Will you keep the Sunday focus on this book all the way to launch?
Thanks, Lynn. That’s my plan. A trail of little snippets right up to the big day!
Welcome to Six Sunday. Hope you enjoy it! It’s a great way to showcase your work and get to know the other authors.
Hi, Cara. It’s such a great idea and a great way to connect with others. Plus, so much fun!
Oh, Karen! What a powerful six! Wow. Just…wow. I can’t wait for June 1. I definitely have BACKLASH on my wish list!
Oh, and welcome to 6SS! It’s a LOT of fun. I love seeing how folks react to my six while visiting everyone else to see what they’re up to and how many books are going to put a dent in my book budget! 😉
Thanks, Silver! I can’t wait to hear what you think. I’m having so much fun reading everyone’s offerings. What a fabulous way to discover new-to-me authors! I’m definitely going to be going on a book buying spree!
So much information in these six sentences. I wonder if he’s going to make that little motion? Great tease! And welcome to SSS!
Thanks, Jenna. It’s my attempt at saying a lot without saying much at all. And SSS is great! It’s like a bunch of little treasure hunts!
Welcome to SSS! What a great six – so haunting. I can’t wait to see what he does!
Thanks, Janey! He’s pretty damn stubborn, so you just never know. Loving SSS! So inspiring!

Oooooh, that’s hot. Congrats on the book!
Thanks, Sidney! I glad you felt the heat 🙂
Oh, I like your style. The clipped sentences are very masculine and definitely up the tension. Welcome to SSS!
Thanks, Stephanie! Writing from the male POV can be a challenge and I’m glad both the tension and his intentions came across 🙂
Nice six! Short, but very evocative of an important moment for your character.
Hi, Ruthie and thanks. A very important moment and so much fun to write!
Bend it, bend it! Evocative 6, I could feel his torment! Welcome to SSS!
Thanks, Angela! I’m relieved that came across, that was my goal!
I did, very much so. I love the short and sweet snippets that get right to the point. He wants her. 😉
Thanks, Carmen! He does, he really does, and he’s spent a decade trying to forget it!

Welcome to SSS! Very sensual six to start! 🙂
Thanks, Vivien! I tried to pack as much heat as I could into those short lines.
I love the “self-imposed exile” description, because you know he’s been fighting his feelings for so long. I hope he doesn’t win this battle!
Hi, Donna! SO long! Lots of my favorite stories are reunion stories and I tried to do this one justice!
There’s something very compelling about someone giving in and enjoying connection after a long time without it. Nice six.
Thanks, Jeanette! I’m grateful I managed to convey the right tone with those six sentences!
