Wow, it’s Sunday already. This week flew by at lightspeed. Fortunately, Sundays are good because, among other things, they bring another round of six sentence reads. Many thanks to everyone who’s been stopping by and commenting each week on my soon-to-be pulished time-travel/paranormal romance, WEATHERING ROCK.
For the last few weeks, I’ve been sharing thoughts mostly from Caleb DeCardian’s POV with a glimpse of what Arianna Hart thinks of him. Caleb is a former colonel of the Union Army during America’s Civil War who has been displaced and transported to the present century. He’s made a less than glowing impression on Arianna, the heroine of my novel. Arianna teaches American history at the middle school, and has no clue of his true nature. Shortly after they meet he does something to make her angry,(sorry, don’t want to share that one). This encounter takes place later the same day when they run into each other at the library.
~ooOOoo~
Caleb leaned close, bracing one arm against the shelf. In the small confines of the aisle, she felt dwarfed by his height. Her natural instinct was to withdraw, but she held her ground, determined he wouldn’t intimidate her.
“Let me make it up to you,” he suggested.
She raised her chin. “How would you do that?”
~ooOOoo~
Ack! The limit of a Six is so frustrating but, according to the rules, I need to end it here. You can find plenty of other entertaining reads on the Six Sentence Sunday website, including instructions on how to participate. I hope you’ll check back again next week as I continue with Caleb in Arianna. Happy Sunday and Happy reading!
Hmm… I wonder what he has in mind. 🙂 I love that she is holding her ground with him.

Oh, yes… these limiting 6 are very frustrating because I definitely want to know what he has in mind too! Very intriguing 6!

Thanks, L.J. I think six limitations are really hard when you venture into dialogue. It’s easier with POV and description but dialogue gets eaten up so quickly when doing a six! Glad you found it intriguing!

Great idea of keeping track from the six sentence posts – they do leave me intriqued of what’s to follow.

Thanks, Joanne. When a man fouls up there’s little he can do but make-up, LOL. Of course, in Caleb’s case it’s worse because he’s still a stranger. The path to true love is rarely smooth. 🙂

Thanks, Kate! Yep, Arianna’s spunk is sometimes a bit too much for Caleb who is still carrying around an 1860s mindset. He’s got his work cut out for him. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!

I love time travel stories, and this is an intriguing premise. I can’t wait to read more of their interactions–sometimes six sentences seem impossibly short!

I often feel so restricted by the limitations of the six but it’s challenging too, finding a snippet that works. I’ve always had a weak spot for time travel stories, probably because I love the fish-out-of-water premises. Thanks for commenting, Donna. BTW, can’t wait to dive into Lord Midnight! 🙂
