Once again it’s Six Sentence Sunday. Here it’s cool and overcast, the perfect day for sampling a variety of tasty fictional snippets.
In this snippet Chase, my hero, is enjoying a quiet moment of introspection.
He hated tranquil and quiet. He preferred noise and movement. Life after nine in the evening. Anonymity.
And more than one degree of separation between him and his high school sweetheart, for fuck sake.
Then again,maybe not so much enjoying as twisting the proverbial knife in the wound.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and check out my contribution. As always, I love hearing from all of you. Have a great Six Sentence Sunday!
Ha! Great ending line.
Thanks, Ruthie. He’s so wound up he doesn’t know what to do.
Chase sounds like he has some scars to overcome. I feel for him. Good six, Karyn!
Thanks, Kate. I’m glad that came through.
Chase sounds like an intrguing character. Great six 🙂
Thanks, Corinne. He’s quite the guy. Lots of baggage.
Poor Chase sounds lonely. I hope he doesn’t get his last wish. Sounds like he needs the contact!
He does, Cate. He’s just stubborn about accepting it!
Karyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The emotion in this short bit is just amazing! Of course, I love Chase but this glimpse into his “inner workings” is outstanding! I can’t wait to read all of this book.
Thanks, Silver! He’s determined to make things as difficult for himself as possible. And I can’t wait for you to read it either!!!!
Niiiccee!! I like the degree of separation bit. 😀
Thanks, Sidney! I had a lot of fun coming up with that line!
Great voice, loved this snippet!

I like it. Conveys a lot of information. I read the book blurb on your home page before reading this. Your book sounds like a good read. 🙂
Thanks, Cypher! It’s releasing on June 1st and I’m so excited!
I love to read about what a man “thinks” he needs and wants. Great potential for some fun diversion and obstacles in his life.
Thanks, Wildcats Wife! Hopefully, the heroine is the perfect obstacle!
As a teacher (who happens to have a things for detectives), I’m looking forward to reading this one!
Thanks, Karysa! If you do decide to read it, I’d love to hear what you think of it!

Thanks, Ursula! Glad you enjoyed it!
That made me laugh out loud. Excellent quick characterization and conflict right off the bat. Well done.
Thanks, Denny! It’s nice to know that what you’re aiming for is working!
Ah the angst, the uncertainty. So much fun to make a hero suffer! Enjoyed your six.
Thanks, Cara! I didn’t know when I started writing that it could that much fun to make someone completely miserable!
Great six! I love his voice! And that last line! 🙂

That last line is great.
Thanks, Elaine! That line is one of my favorites.

Great ending hook–and the rest ain’t bad either. 😉 Never met a man yet who really likes introspection, regardless of what they say.
Thanks, Jean Marie! Ha, I know what you mean.
Very intriguing. I want to know more about Chase! 🙂
Thanks, Jessica! Glad he struck a cord!
I love him already! Great voice here, and that last line is awesome.
Thanks, Sarah! I have to admit, it’s one of my favorite lines!
I’m with Chase…life after nine is good. 🙂 Great six.
Thanks, Ginger! I think so, too!
Fantastic! I loved the power in this – – a strong masculine voice that gave me a good sense of the character. I’m intrigued 🙂
