I love thrift shops, garage sales—any kind of bargain. My
son and son in law mentioned Facebook Market place but it never clicked with me
that it would be like a giant garage sale. I love getting a bargain. That’s why
today I’m shouting out that Dangling…Participle?, a steamy romantic comedy, is
on sale for 99 cents. You can’t beat a deal like that. Here’s a little more
about Dangling…Participle?
Katie:
I really needed to get serious and concentrate on my writing, but the barista behind the counter at my fav coffee shop is not making it easy. The guy is drop dead gorgeous. I’m talking six-pack abs, broad chest, and oozing sex appeal. In other words, way out of my league!
Then he finds my flash drive and reads the start of my book! I want to die. I’m a nice girl. Really, I am, but I have very naughty thoughts.
When I discover he’s actually a famous writer and offers to help, how can I say no? His help means I might actually escape my demonic boss, and living with my evil twin sisters (no lie! I’m talking straight out of f**king Cinderella evil).
But just how far am I willing to let him go when I stumble over the love scenes?
Jaxson:
I’ve never seen anyone with worse fashion sense than Katie. But as she sat at one of the tables in the coffee shop, laptop open, she removed those god-awful black glasses and nibbled her bottom lip. Then she smiled and transformed before my eyes.
I want her.
Can’t have her. She’s not that type.
Then I find and read her flash drive and discover there’s a whole other side to her beneath those baggy clothes and ugly glasses. She only needs a little help. Especially with her love scenes.
I should probably keep the relationship strictly platonic.
Nope, not going to happen.

Hi Karen, I love the thrift stores too. I even volunteer in one and have found many treasures. Love the name of your book. --Nope not going to happen--I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun book to write. LOL There's a 90 mile garage sale in June in our area. I'm definitely going!
DeleteSounds like a great book! And 'on sale' are two of my favorite words!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've actually discovered some great authors buying a book on sale, then I glom the rest of their books LOL
