#8Sunday – Jagged Secrets

Happy Sunday! It’s time for another #8Sunday Weekend Writing Warriors post – the blog hop where writers share just 8 lines from something they’ve written. The last three weeks I’ve been working my way through each book in my Jagged Ivory series in celebration of them being re-released in a boxed set, so today it’s Jagged Secret’s turn.

 

In this scene our hero, rock drummer, Buzzy West, has been talking to an old girlfriend he hasn’t seen in eight years after she showed up, completely out of the blue, backstage at a Jagged Ivory concert. In the middle of their tense conversation, the door bursts open, and Buzzy gets the shock of his life…

 

 

 

 

“Hello, Mr. West,” he smiled, “I’m Bobby.” 

Buzzy opened his mouth to speak, but no words came. His head was spinning. He frowned at the boy and swallowed hard, then he opened his mouth to try again. 

“Hello,” he said quietly, holding out his hand, “It’s nice to meet you.” He shook the boy’s hand and held on to it for a moment longer than necessary as he stared into his most unusual eyes. The boy was a perfect mixture of Asian and Caucasian, and Buzzy’s heart and his mind were racing, both hurtling toward their own conclusions. He swallowed once more, licking his lips anxiously. Why was his mouth suddenly so dry?

 

Jagged Secrets can be found at all ebook retailers, and also in the newly released The Essential Jagged Ivory boxed set. The set is on sale through the end of August, five book series for just $.99, so don’t miss it!
