Good morning fellow Weekend Writing Warriors. I’ve had a very interesting week. I started working part-time as a 911-dispatcher and I love it. I’m hoping that I’m able to go full-time in the near future. It is amazing, I can’t even describe it. I’ve always wanted to work in a field where I’d be helping people and in many ways this feels like a perfect match. Besides this my book, that you’ve been reading in the past few weeks is now available for download. No more skipping paragraphs or waiting for the next Sunday, where I’ll give you more. Now you can purchase it and read the entire thing, along with an additional short story from my ABFF Tamara Philip.
Well for this week friends, we’re going to see how this story takes a sudden turn. The officer that pulled Yasmin over has just asked her out after realizing that he knows her brother. Yasmin realizes that the officer has a wedding ring on and confronts him on it. He reveals this very difficult fact about his wife (you’ll see in a few moments) and Yasmin suddenly realizes that her own problems aren’t quite as big as she originally thought them to be.
******************************************************************************************************
“This is her now.” He said holding up a picture of a tombstone with the name Maggie Reyes-Colon written across it.
I sucked all my breath in, feeling as if my heart might collapse.
“I’ve had a rough year too.” The officer said, “Actually a rough few years, she died right around this time of the year.”
He looked back at me.
“Cancer,” He said. “They were never able to find her a match.”

Congratulations on the new job and the book being available! I enjoyed the excerpt, like your way with words. As a widow (of long standing), I would just say I wonder if he’d be ready to date if he’s still wearing his wedding ring. But maybe he was so attracted to your heroine, he’s never felt like this before and didn’t realize he was ready to move on. See, you’ve got me really thinking about your characters and the plot – well done!

Mmm, that sounds delish. Isn’t it funny, how we can try to make ourselves fit someone else’s idea of what we should be…counting calories and making ourselves overly thin to keep a man happy? Tia is good for her : )
