How did Robert explain himself at the fight? From Dancing in Circles on Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday

Link back to WWW


From Dancing in Circles - NA contemporary romance.

Scene set - Robert is meeting a challenge to fight. He's changed the  mind of one attacker and defeated a second. 
Robert faced the crowd. He stood tall and held eye contact with everyone who met his gaze and said, "I haven't taken my knife into your school, and until now, I ain't never worn my colours in your town. But, if I'm challenged, I will defend myself." He pointed at the onlookers. "Ya all live comfortable lives. Ya don't know how to fight. I do." He pressed his finger onto his chest. "And I will."



Note - the reason colours has a U in it is I'm Canadian. Only commenting because the last time I had a "spelling mistake" some comments were nasty.

5 Stars -


I loved the cover, as well as the story. I liked the school setting, and the description in the beginning of Julie and her friends. Julie is the dreamer, searching for a happy ending. I also liked Robert, who is a "bad boy" gang leader. "from the wrong side of the tracks," etc. One of Julie's relatives says he has a heart of gold, and he does. He's smart and practical and I think he's great.
