Sunday Snippet: This Is Your Life
Well, April stillfeels like a mix of winter and summer but not spring. We have hot days thenplummet back to cold. I’m hoping May evens it out and we hold steady for awhile.
Had a crazy-busyweek with work. More projects coming in hot and needing immediate attention. I’mso happy that all of them are absolutely fun and exciting to work on. I lovethem!
I did have verylimited time for viewing this week. I don’t mind the trade off, because I usuallyhave an old standby on in the background like Perry Mason, Columbo,or Murder, She Wrote.
I did finish up StrangestThings and I ended up enjoying the episode.
I also caughtanother episode in my great rewatch of Battlestar Galactica. This upcomingweek, we’re going with a double header to round out season one.
I’ll be starting anew episode of The Mandalorian later tonight.
I also got tolisten to my daughter’s radio show. It’s finals week and they get to choosetheir music. My daughter and her co-DJ picked seventies hits for their timeslot. And they made great choices if I do say so. And I do.
That’s pretty muchit for the life update this week. Tonight’s post is from This Is Your Life, anovella with hex magick playing a role in keeping a couple apart.
Here’s the mini-blurb:
After a harrowing month of captivity in a rival faction'sterritory, Welch Harrinson can't seem to find his will to keep living. RinaLewes devises a perfect way to remind Welch why life can be good.
And a preview snippet…
Rina couldn't take it anymore.Welch's distance created a chasm in her heart and soul. She had to find a wayto reach him, remind him of their love and passion. Hell, he needed to rememberhis identity.
She paced back and forth, turningideas over in her head. The Shringla clan worked some serious hex magic,turning Welch into a shell of his former self. She couldn't counter withoutknowing the exact incantations their rivals had used, but she might be able towork around the potential traps by nudging Welch down memory lane, rebuildinghis knowledge of self and hopefully renewing their bond.
She crossed the floor and picked upthe phone, dialing the one person who wanted Welch back as badly as her. Hisfather. For his son, he'd put aside his petty judgments of Rina's lack ofbloodline.
She hoped.
He finally picked up on the thirdring. "Harrinson's Holistic Health."
She took a deep breath."Wiggam? It's Rina. Can we meet at the coffee shop?"
Wiggam responded. "Is thisabout Welch?" He thanked a customer and the bell chimed over the door.
Rina answered simply."Yes." She wouldn't waste more words.
Wiggam paused a moment. "Giveme fifteen minutes to have Shirley come in. I'll be there."
The line disconnected and Rinasnorted. "Don't bother asking if I can be there in fifteen." Sheshook her head. "Someday that man will get a piece of my mind."Grabbing her bag, she shoved the phone inside and exited the cottage.
She'd play very nicely with theelder Harrinson … for now.
The drive passed in a blur, hermind spinning with how to tell Wiggam his son had no clue who they were. And ifthat old man gave her any kind of shit, she'd lose it. Bad enough Welch didn'tappreciate her at the moment. Wiggam never had and probably never would singher praises.
Her lips quirked. "Not likeI'll join the chorus for him either." Making the turn into the parkinglot, she cut the engine and dragged in a deep breath. "Nothing for it.Gotta bring my biggest detractor up to speed."
Rina and Wiggamwill eventually find some common ground, but it’s not going to be an easyjourney. Welch is the glue that will hold them together.
That’s it for thisweek.
Cheers!
Skye
