Introducing a brand new thread of blog posts you’ll be seeing around here to kick off a brand new year! A series of little tales, just yea-big. Today is the first mini-story and for more info on the plan and process, you can get the scoop here! 🙂
Her smile warmed him. Even in the dark.
The latter, she mentioned herself, tilting her face toward the black sky overhead. She rubbed a gloved hand up the side of her arm. In the distance, a wind whistled through the creek bottoms. She suddenly seemed to be standing closer to him. Was she frightened?
If there was something out there worth fearing, he’d see it. “It’s not all that dark,” he said.
Not with the stars shining and the moon lifting on the horizon. He knew a dark that trained your eyes to the slightest movement. Had men going mad with tales of ghosts. A world where you extinguished the meager light you wore when a killing gas seeped too richly from the earth, hungry for a spark. And there you were, shrouded in blackness. Just to live.
He looked at her a moment, the way the light caught her eyes. Eyes that were peering up at him trustingly.
No. It wasn’t dark.
Well, I love this yea-big thing ya got going here. And of course, I love the above. Thank you. Hope your New Year is blessed to the fullest measure.
A very doubly thanks, Melody!! Wishing you joy in the New Year, my friend.

I wyszÅ‚a z tego Twoja pyszna saÅ‚Ä…tka, ale zubożona o suszone owoce (miaÅ‚am tylko rodzynki). Tomek tez jadÅ‚ i pwoiedziaÅ‚, że dobra, ale bez truskawek byÅ‚Ä…by lepsza, hihi… Mężczyźni 😉
Your’s is a point of view where real intelligence shines through.
wonderful points altogether, you simply received a logo new reader. What could you suggest about your submit that you just made some days in the past? Any certain?
This sounds familiar, is it from one of your books? Looking forward to one of your books!
Regina, so glad to hear you are looking forward to one of my books! 🙂 This one is a not-yet-published one 🙂 Thanks for your visit!
Love this little piece. A glimpse of a world beyond-almost a tantalizing trailer. Just the right length for afternoon tea. Now my writer brain is churning over a short story series I want to write on the sisters of St. Catherine’s, the main setting for my first book. I thought it would be neat to capture aspects of who they were before and why they each became a sister. Maybe I’ll work up the nerve to share them on my blog next year. Look forward to reading more of these in the year to come.
Jessica,
That brought me such a smile. Why thank you! I’m so glad to hear that your stories are churning. Happy writing!
Joanne! You’ve got me. I’m hooked.
WWI… A starry night… so much being told here in just a snippet! #WantMore #YeaBig #Romance #2015

Hehe, why thank you <3 <3
And you pretty much nailed it. 😉 You're awesome and I can't wait to hold Mammoth Secrets in my hands!
Dearest Joanne,
As usual, this is incredible! It is just short enough to catch your attention and hold it breathtakingly riveted, without losing that gentle sense of hope that weaves it’s way through all your stories.
I am very, very excited to see what is to come! Great idea! Miss you 🙂
Dearest Kara,
You are such a sweetheart. Thank you!
And I’m missing you too! Can’t wait for our next read aloud. I’m still hoping to do a blog post on THAT 🙂 🙂
Well, that certainly whet my appetite and aroused my curiosity, Joanne!! Love this snippet and anxious for more. Thank you!!
Prayers for your writing – love and hugs, too!!
Bonnie, I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet words!
That was great. Would love to read more of that story. Great job.
Why thanks, Debbie. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m hoping for you all to get to read this one some day soon!
