A week into 2017, and things are hopping here already. The kids are back in school, and my rehearsals start on Monday. There’s so much happening in our family over the next 8 weeks, between auditions and performances.
Meanwhile, I’m working on edits for the first of my 2017 projects. I’m sure other opportunities will come up over the course of the year, but so far, I’m down for 2 novels and a short story/novella/however long it turns out. My current work-in-edits is the last part of the series which includes Passing on Faith and Walking by Faith. This one’s titled Keeping the Faith.
For my snippet, I’m posting 6 sentences from Keeping the Faith. In this scene, Micah (the main character) has gone to see his sister-in-law. The baby in question is hers, and there’s a reason why it would be especially bad for him to get hurt.
A crash and a yelp from the kitchen propelled Micah to his feet. In a flash, he scooped up a crying Robbie and set the chair he’d pulled over back on its legs. He inspected Robbie head to toe, but there wasn’t a scratch on him. Relieved, Micah turned around with the baby in his arms and nearly collided with LR.
“Thank you,” she said, her shoulders relaxing.
“No problem.”

You can’t imagine how excited I am that there’s going to be another book in this series. I LOVED the previous two. I’m sad to think of what might be the reason. Am I right in thinking he’s following in his uncle’s footprints. Although he could do a lot worse in other ways
Yup, that’s exactly right. Robbie’s a handful, too—youngest of four and with the energy of the other three combined, LOL.
Haemophilia? Although then bruises would be bad too… Hmm….
Yes, and yes they would. But Robbie only pulled the chair down, not on top of himself. He’s scared, but he’s not injured.
Poor guys, that had to be scary.
Oh, yes. Robbie’s fine, but the noise scared him the way it can do to tiny ears. Good thing he’s got his mom and uncle looking out for him.
This is all a-tugging at my heart strings already. But then, Micah and LR…I can’t get enough of those two. :p
Yeah, I need to consider writing more about LR. I love her. I might throw in a story or two if I get to writing some shorts in their world. 🙂
Awesome, thing tells me is very close family.
Nothing scarier than a crash with the baby out of sight. Glad he wasn’t hurt!
Very intriguing. Reading your comment had me immediately come up with a reason why it’d be bad for Robbie to be hurt. Hope I’m wrong, though…
Glad he wasn’t hurt!
Glad he was just scared and not hurt.
