A Little Smackerel of a Story

Happy Saturday! Hope wherever you are you’re having a great day!

I’m happy to report that I’ve got a little treat for you! (Though you know, no big deal if you aren’t as excited as I am. I don’t judge!)

The folks at Heroes & Heartbreakers asked me to the very first author in a new series they’re doing called “H&H Quickies”. They put up a call for prompts (these are scenarios or story details that are supposed to “prompt” a writer to find a story in them) one week, and then the next week, the author, having chosen a few of those prompts, posts a story that includes them.

The prompts I chose were: a kiss in a curricle near Rotten Row; a working (non-aristocratic) hero; a horse named Crystal; a plus sized heroine; and, a long overdue declaration of love. The story I wrote is called “Miss Easterling’s Scottish Fling.” I hope you’ll stop by and let me know what you think of it. I’m rather fond of Miss Easterling and her Scottish hero!
