Time for another Hump Day hook.  I’m excited for this week, because I’m showing you a paragraph from my contracted book, Changing Tracks (due for pub in February w/ Secret Cravings Publishing). Jane & Cole are two of my favorite characters so far. It makes it very difficult to ever pick just one paragraph (or very short exchange) for the pair of them.  So I found this little section from Cole’s POV.  Just this one little moment of him looking around his room encapsulates the two of them pretty well in a few simple words.

Then he saw it.

The book.

It had to be hers because he couldn’t read.Obviously he left her alone too much. She’d taken the chance to add herself to the room.

All it took was a book.

Damn her.

Hump Day Hook asks authors to post one paragraph of one of their stories, whether a WIP, one contracted, or already published.  Please visit and comment on the participants – you might just stumble on the next great read for your library!  To see more participants, click on the HHH banner below:

      🙂 She is. That’s why I love this passage, it shows both of them so well with just a few words. Thanks!! I’m trying to get these picked out and scheduled in advance so I don’t miss them! I love doing it, but picking out one paragraph is so tough with a completed piece!
