Six Sentence Sunday #9: Letting The Ginger Ale Fly

If you're unfamiliar with Six Sentence Sunday, the idea is simple. You post six sentences from one of your works (published or unpublished, WIP or complete). Normally, there is the fine Six Sentence Sunday blog, so you can easily find other people doing the same thing, but alas they are moving servers this week.

Today, I'm going back to my YA urban fantasy, Osland. In this scene, the protagonist, Gail Dorjee (who is of Tibetan descent) deals with a rude boy using a bit of a rather pathetic racially-tinged come-on in a wet way:

 “Too bad you didn’t have a Coke,” I said. “Better stains.” I turned back to Jason. “Well, if you have a fever, yellow or otherwise, you need to cool down.” With a quick flick of my wrist, I tossed the remaining ginger ale into Jason’s face. Some might consider it a bit of an overreaction, but the satisfaction would be more than worth it.

In a few days (once the move is complete), check out sixsunday.blogspot.com to see how to join their list that gets posted on Sundays.

Check out Heart Stealer

For any contemporary romance fans out there, I encourage you to check out my friend Tiphanie Thomas's recently released book, Heart Stealer. It's available in both physical and electronic formats. 


Here's the blurb:


"After years of disapproval for his fast lifestyle, movie star Randall Rowe returns to his small hometown and persuades stubborn Kayla Denton to help with his new home. With their close proximity, Randall starts seeing independent Kayla as an alluring woman with whom he can be himself, though he knows she's all wrong for him. 

Meanwhile, Kayla has already been abandoned by one man in her life, and she's determined not to endure it again. Yet underneath Randall's devil-may-care persona lies more than she could've imagined.

Can either of them ever trust the deep connection they share when faced with crippling fears and Hollywood tearing them apart?"
