Another Goodbye Emily excerpt Friday

While preparing a new blog about Woodstock, I’m also continuing blog hopping Fridays with another excerpt from my return to Woodstock novel, Goodbye Emily. You can read more than a dozen brief excerpts from some great books by clicking on this link:

Early in the novel, sixty-year-old Water (Sparky) Ellington begins to drean about his experiences at Woodstock. When he relives meeting Emily, his doorbell jolts him awake.

Emily’s image vanished as the doorbell rang.

No! I bolted upright in bed and pain shot through my body. Lady scrambled to the front door and barked at the intruder.

I gathered my bearings, steadied myself and eased both legs over the side of the bed. I struggled to rise. A lower back spasm yanked me back onto the mattress. The effects from the altercation at The Library added to my normal morning aches and pains. I clamped my eyes shut from the most painful hurt, the loss of Emily’s image when she first told me her name.

I arched my spine and stretched. My joints cracked like dice rattling in a Yahtzee cup.

If you’re interested in what others are saying about the novel, take a look at the Goodbye Emily website. The novel is available for Kindle, Nook and most ebook devices and at a book store near you. If you’d like to order Goodbye Emily, click on the Where Can I order Goodbye Emily tab above.
