As promised, something new this week. I had never planned on having 3 releases in less than 3 months, but that’s what happened when the release date for my novella, What Once Was Lost, was pushed back to March. So this one’s been out a few weeks. What surprised me was that the response has had very little middle ground—people love it or hate it. I think it bothered a lot of people that I didn’t tie things up with a nice, neat bow. Anyway, I’ll post a couple of bits this week and next. You can decide for yourselves.
Blurb:
When their son goes missing on a camping trip, Brook and Casey are given a chance to make amends for their past mistakes with each other.
Following a volatile break-up with his partner, Casey has been raising his son, Ryan, mostly on his own. While Ryan is on a camping trip in the Adirondacks, Casey and Brook make another attempt to work through their differences, with disastrous results. But when Ryan and his friend disappear in the mountains, Casey and Brook travel together to find him. The tension leads to an opportunity to listen to each other, reconcile their history, and recover the love they once shared.
Here’s the snippet:
Brook blocked it with his foot. “He’s my kid too. I should’ve had a say in it. This is my weekend.”
“First of all, he’s not yours in any legal sense. Second, you lost the right to have a say the minute you fucked someone else in our bed.”
