#Snippet Sunday: FOR ONCE #Excerpt

Happy Sunday, everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in Kentucky, and I'm thrilled to be able to share with you a snippet from FOR ONCE: A Sky Cove Short Story. This short story is #1.5 in the Sky Cove series, taking place after ONCE AGAIN (Sky Cove #1), and running simultaneously with the first half of ONCE AND FOR ALL (Sky Cove #2).

Walking over to the mirror above my dresser I regarded my reflection. There was nothing wrong with the way I looked. I knew I wasn’t ugly. Logically I knew that plain brown hair and glasses meant nothing when it came to the true nature of a person. But let’s face it. Those characteristics signified a wide chasm that kept girls like me forever separate from boys like Will Harlow. 

Will was not a shallow person. He would never be mean or intentionally hurtful. But what he’d said was right. We just weren’t on the same playing field. We had nothing in common, except for our friends. What in the world would we talk about if we went on a date? He could probably care less about Newton’s Laws and I was completely ignorant when it came to sports. 

Maybe if I lost the glasses and put on a little more eye make-up. And somewhere in my closet I had to have something better than the ever-present sweater.
No, no, no, no! I was not changing my appearance for a guy. That was what desperate girls did. I would not appear desperate. Not even for Will Harlow.

FOR ONCE is permanently FREE at Amazon, B&N, iBooks, & Kobo! All the Sky Cove books stand alone, so this free short story is the perfect way to introduce yourself to the series if you haven't already!
