Cruel Summer Excerpt
Title: Cruel Summer
Genre: Contemporary YA
Word count: 90,000
Chapter 1:
The screen split in two and before the serious looking anchorwoman could ask a single nauseating question, I clicked the television off, glaring at the darkened screen. Alcohol a contributing factor my rear. I hadn’t been near any all night. I’d been stone cold sober throughout the entire painful ordeal.
I eased down in bed, wishing I had the chance to at least redo part of my summer. I’d been so naïve when I arrived, thinking the whole time was going to be about me and my father bonding, hanging out and having fun. All the things that I’d missed out on since the divorce nearly a decade ago.
Yeah if I could go back in time, I’d seriously think about smacking that version of me up alongside the head as I issued a dire warning.
Beware of Adriana.
Enough said.

Juggling...
Doing quite a bit of juggling lately. Right now I'm in the midst of three classes, another with Ciaran and a last minute one I couldn't pass up that all started on Monday. At least one is go through at your own pace, so I'm hoping I can eek out enough time to finish it out before July. And my RWA workshop DVDs showed up yesterday, so really doing some multi-tasking lol
