Hello everyone. Daylight Savings Time changes this weekend will confuse my already sleep-deprived, fuddled brain even more. *Yawning* Oh well. No matter what time it is where you are, have a good day.

I’m sharing another snippet from Rhythm this week and will be working on this story a bit longer than I’d planned since a beta reader pointed out what she felt was a problem, and after rereading the parts mentioned, I agreed. *sigh*. Revising is not nearly as much fun as writing. 🙁 I’ve put together a rough blurb for the next Smoke, Inc. title, but it’s not ready to be shared.
“Nice kitchen, beautiful wood,” Marty said, inspecting Holly’s cabinets as she set out ingredients to cook breakfast. “Some dumb-ass painted them white. Tell me it wasn’t you.”
“Would I be sanding the paint off, if I’d slapped it on?”
“Tedious work,” he grunted, picking up her discarded tack rag to wipe down the upper cupboards.
Even though Holly stood facing the stove, she could see him from the corner of her eye.
His gray sweats rested on his hips, and when he reached high, the gesture hiked up his tee-shirt, displaying the line of black hair arrowing down his stomach, providing a road map to what lay below. And what lay below, suddenly went up.
I will not laugh, I will not laugh, I will not… She focused her gaze back on the stove and pretended interest in the scrambled eggs; she was hungry, and her hulking visitor didn’t look like he was leaving before he at least got some food.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a great week!
Funny–really like this. I would like the white cabinets, especially with glass in them.
Well, that’s quite a sight to see in the morning. Great snippet!
Great snippet …. ” And what went below, suddenly went up.” … LOL …
I’m with Iris. That line stood out, so to speak.
Fun for breakfast!
Panting here in NY with a storm coming and I’m not. You do have a way with words, dear Gem.
Ooh, sounds like there might be more than breakfast on offer!
Fun snippet! But is it the wood or her that’s perking him up? You know how some guys are about home improvement.
lolol “I will not laugh. I will not laugh. I will not…” only made me laugh harder. 🙂 GREAT scene, Gem!
Very funny scene, Gem. Well crafted and balanced. Great job!
Excellent excerpt and I loved her internal thoughts, all of them!
Fun scene — love the humor And, hey, he’s helping! What’s not to love! Can’t wait to see where this goes.
Haha great scene!
I’m not sure I’d be rushing him out the door. 😉 Great snippet. 🙂
Wonder what will come with/after breakfast. 😉
Great snippet. I, too, like white cabinets. Yummy scene. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Nice control. It wouldn’t have been nice to laugh at him already. I wonder what she is going to feed him.
when is this book being released?
Hi Marion. I’m in final edits on Rhythm right now. I don’t have a firm date, but it is scheduled to come out in May. 🙂
