Six Sentence Sunday

Six Sentence Sunday is this blog I came across after seeing it mentioned on the blogs of several other authors. Basically, on Sundays, authors post six sentences of any of their works (published or unpublished). This is my first time participating. For more information, visit their blog at Six Sentence Sunday.

So here are my six sentences. They're from my next book The Matchmaker.


     Bliss Barnes took another bite of her dulce de leche cheesecake. She was blowing her diet with this dinner but she might as well receive some pleasure from this torturous evening. Darius was gulping down his second glass of wine. She supposed she shouldn’t feel so resentful towards him, but she couldn’t escape the swamping feeling of disappointment. They’d been exchanging e-mails for three months before scheduling this date.     She’d been anticipating meeting him from his second message. 

I'm A Reader, Too

I consider myself to be a reader as much as a writer. I'm constantly on the lookout for a good book. (Buying a Kindle has only made this worse.) Before purchasing, I like to read excerpts and reviews. So, of course, I come across reviews for my own books. Today, I saw the review for Acting Witchy at Interracial Romance Book Reviews. I've bought quite a few books based on Theodora Taylor's reviews.

I appreciated that she complimented me on the the love scenes. Know whose love scenes I love? I'm really into Evangeline Anderson and Yvette Hines novels. I hope to be that good someday.
