WeWriWa: WRITE WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED

Greetings from the Emerald Isle. Hope you’re following my adventures on Facebook. Edging into week two of three in Ireland and LOVING IT! After a two-hour drive to Chicago O’Hare, a hectic juggle to get through the International check in, and losing one of my carry-ons, my two travel companions and I spent a sleepless overnight flight listening to a screaming baby and watching the virtual plane icon cross the Atlantic. Greeted by an empty airport in Dublin and cold fog, an overstuffed cab ride to our hotel began not a day of recovery but one of exploration with friends who endured the long flight without loosing their senses of humor and adventure. Because that’s what friends do for one another. Now, two such friends who’ve grown up in vastly different backgrounds while cementing a three decades-spanning friendship are growing nicely where I’ve planted them at my little desk under the eaves of my temporary home in Ballyferriter, Ireland.
Hope you enjoy this snippet from my new romantic suspense.

The sound of his engine brought a shadow across the screened doorway, where it lingered until his vehicle pulled up behind an ancient aqua convertible and stopped.

“A bit of both. Mind if I step in outta the sun?”
“Best be doing it before the neighbors see you and think I’m hanging with shady characters.”
Zayn gave a hearty laugh and took the steps in long legged strides to embrace the slighter man. “Was in the neighborhood,” he began.
His friend slapped his back and shoved away, laughing. “And smelled dinner. C’mon inside before somebody takes a shot at you thinking you’re here to check their papers.”
