Review
for San Francisco Book Review
“This
part-adventure/part-romance will keep readers on the edge of their seats while
trying to figure out where it all will end. This will appeal to fans of the
Abandon series by Meg Cabot.”

Excerpt
I walked down a moonlit street. It
smelled like smoldering autumn leaves but there was no chill in the air. Wind
slowly blew through the trees and made their leaves whisper. Everything else
was quiet.
The wind curled around me, but this
time it brought a few drops of rain with it. Glancing at the sky, I noticed
clouds gathering over the moon. It dawned on me that I should get back home and
go to bed. I looked around and, for the first time, realized I wasn’t in my
neighborhood. This neighborhood resembled a set from a musical rather than a
real street. The houses were big and imposing, like something from My Fair
Lady. At any moment, I expected to see Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn
strolling toward me. The thought of wandering through an old movie scene,
alone, at night caused cold goose bumps to rise on my arms. Keep it together,
Christine. I tried to stay reasonable.
Was it safer to go back the way I’d
come or keep going into unknown territory? I didn’t remember going for a walk
anyway. Basically, turning back was no different than continuing on. I took
another quick scan of the street to see if anyone else was out. Nothing
stirred. Even the wind had deserted me.
I tried to grab hold of my courage.
There had to be a logical explanation for this and it wasn’t like I could have
wandered too far from home. I decided my best bet was to turn around and go the
way I’d apparently come. Maybe something would look familiar eventually and I’d
be snuggled in my bed soon.
I turned and the wind rushed past my
ears. “Christine,” it sighed, producing the effect of ice water dripping down
my spine. The voice was soft, but I had not imagined it.

Do you write on a typewriter, computer, dictate or longhand?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question, Mai. I am a working wife and mom with two young children. Sometimes, I just don't get a chance to use the computer. I often will write scenes or notes longhand in a notebook and then when I get a chance to sit at the computer, I edit as I input. It's a nice system. Sometimes, just the act of holding a pen and paper spark more creativity than staring at a white Word doc. That said, I do compose at the computer too.
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting Dream Girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite dream?
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge Beatles fan and I once had a dream where I met the Beatles, the Hard Day's Night era Beatles. In the dream, Paul McCartney took me aside and started playing "She's a Woman" for me. When he finished, he said, "You know I wrote that about you, right?" Now, I joke that Paul really did write that song for me. It surprises me how many people believe it. ;)
DeleteI love books, it sounds like an awesome one.Thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking it out, Judy. Hope you enjoy!
DeleteEnjoyed the excerpt--the dream was very well-described, love the reference to My Fair Lady!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm a fan of musicals so I couldn't resist popping that in.
DeleteI love books that travel into the dream world.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Toinette. I do too. There's just something so compelling and weird about where our dreams take us.
