Maverick arranged the private airfare with Weston Caufield, a pilot he'd known from when he played with the Roadside Reapers. Maverick would ring the guy when he didn't want to hassle the airlines. Weston's dark hair peeked out beneath a ballcap. He stood a few inches taller than Drake stood and look fit and trim in his jeans and flannel shirt. "I'll take your things, Weston said as he took the items toward the Cessna on the runway.
He was the only one on the flight, and the super mid-size jet was spacious enough to stand with walking room, and even had a service galley, which Weston said he could help himself to the snacks and drinks, but Rowan had packed him goodies from the Heart and Soul, and he indulged in the pastries. Their chef knew his way around the kitchen and enjoyed the cashew chicken salad sandwich and apple crumble cake for dessert. Then he slept the rest of the way.
(Just a tad more)
Once they landed and he had his things, he turned to thank Weston for the lift. "Any time. Any friend of Maverick's is good in my books," Weston said and handed him his card.
"Let me know if you need a lift again. I'll see that I fit you into my schedule."
He glanced at the card then looked at Weston. "Thanks, I'll do that."
Possible Blurb:
Eastyn has her soda shop to run and specialty ice creams to create. Only the place is falling apart, and she may have a haunted jukebox that chooses songs to communicate. If things couldn't get any more complicated, Drake, her ex-fiancé, returns home after five years on the road with his rock band, Never Mind the Damage.
Eastyn vows not to fall for Drake's charms again, but when you have a lifetime of memories with the man, the heart seems not to care about pledges. Her haunted jukebox believes choosing the right song to twirl and dip to is the answer to everything. However, Eastyn isn't convinced. She wants to know if Drake is home for good, or will he break her heart all over again?

Mermaid Cove and Seaside Sundaes
Short story FROM THE WILD ROSE PRESS' ONE SCOOP OR TWO SERIES!
One selfless act as a teen unfairly caused Sirena Seafair to forfeit her ability to shift into a mermaid.
Fifteen years later, her mundane life is about to change when Jack O'Casey arrives in the Irish town of Grimm Nitch and opens his restaurant, Mermaid Cove. The man is bound and determined to make Sirena his no matter what. But if by chance, Sirena can find a way to reclaim her life as a mermaid, will she leave Jack and her human life behind in exchange for a life beneath the sea? Or will surrendering her heart to love be the magic she's been waiting for all along?
This is a nice way to widen your characterizations. Also, you made me hungry. This sure isn’t United Airline’s food selection.
I don’t know if you’re looking for this sort of feedback, but this phrase made me stop and puzzle out who the multiple “he’s” were: “He stood a few inches taller than he stood…”
That surely sounds like better food than I ever got on any flight! Then again, I was stuffed like a sardine in economy class.
Well, now he’s there. I wonder if the reunion will go as smoothly as everything else has so far. Nice snippet!
Sign me up for some of that plane food. Nothing plain about it! 😀 *goes off in search of sustenance*
Nothing like a private jet to set a scene. And you used it well. Fun snippet.
Gee, I wish I had a private jet on call. Nice details.
Nice way to travel although his carbon footprint is sure a lot bigger this way LOL. I’m assuming this is pre-edits, couple of typos but the gist of the snippet is clear and reminds us he’s a celebrity, not ‘just’ a singer. Nice way to set up his arrival at the much more down to earth place the heroine runs…two different worlds about to clash?
I think I need to figure out just how many books I’ll need to sell to get my own private jet. Or maybe just a personal chef.
Nice to have friends in high places… 😀
Nice, plane ride on his own, lucky guy !
Wish I had friends like that!
