Some very good news: I sold BY HOOK OR BY CROOK! Yay-uh! My comic contemporary romance with gangsters will be published by The Wild Rose Press. The contract is signed but I don't have a release date or any other info. In celebration, here's a snippet from that book. My h/h, Joe and Ivy, are in a remote cabin, on the run from gangsters, when they hear an ominous noise outside and realize they may not be alone:
Joe disappeared into the bedroom. A minute later, he came out, tucking a handgun into the back waistband of his jeans.
"You have a gun?" Ivy was shocked. "Why did you bring a gun just to help find my sister?"
"It comes in handy in case I need to shoot somebody," he said, his expression grim.

Congratulations on the new contract! How exciting!
I loved your hero's comeback. Well if you ask the obvious...lol
hahaha! I love this response! So casual, like it's an everyday thing for him. Fabulous.

Nice snippet. Congrats on the contract!
LOL. Evasive but funny.
Whoo Hoo! Great news on the contract. I really liked this week's six, though I can't help thinking that Ivy should have some sort of physical reaction when she sees the gun, widening eyes, increased pulse rate, rocking back to here heels. Just a thought :)
Great last line! Love this. Congrats on your contract Linda! :)
Great last line, Linda, and bells, whistles, and hoots on the contract. You, go girl.
LOL. Love Joe. You can almost hear him saying 'well, duh!'
I *love* this! He's my kind of guy!
I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS on your sale! YAY!
Thanks, everybody! I'm pretty excited about this one. And Jess, it's funny: I wrote this a year ago, but when I was creating this post, I thought that I needed some physical reaction as well! Ah, well, that's what edits are for.
Great scene. I really like the humor.
Congratulations on your sale! I'll be watching for your book.
