Twirl and Dip #SnipSun #snippetsunday

Snippet: WIP

Eastyn hadn't been all dolled up like the women who draped his arms when he attended the Hollywood parties and premieres. She wore jeans and a vintage Civilized Heathens tee, makeup to a minimum, and her hair pulled pack in a ponytail. More beautiful than he remembered, and he had a pretty good memory. God, he missed her so damn much.


However, daydreaming about her was out of the question if he wanted to fix her sign. A few seconds later, he found the culprit that put the W and I in the Twirl and Dip on the fritz. "There you are," he murmured to the faulty wire. As he worked with careful moves a surgeon would be proud of, the scent of something sweet and buttery wafted on the air, making him wondered what the delectable treat tantalized his senses could be; even his stomach rumbled as if anticipating a sample.


"It's almost noon," Eastyn announced, and he looked up to see her by the counter, obviously keeping her distance from him. Probably a good idea since he wasn't sure how well-behaved he'd be if she came too close. He wanted to draw her into his arms.


(a few more sentences.)


His fantasy of holding her again almost made him miss her following words.


"It's nothing fancy. I'm making grilled cheese, but you're welcome to join me if you want."

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?

TWO WORLDS COLLIDED- JUNE 1st.

Evie Reid, on a whim, agrees to travel back in time to 1997 to change bad boy Bellamy Lovel's path of destruction. She's smart with a college degree, but she's still fan-girl crazy for the rock band Civilized Heathens. Evie knows despite all Bellamy's smiles and enthusiasm on the stage, he's destined to end it all on one lonely night in a hotel room unless she can change his path.

Bellamy isn't keen on having Evie as his personal assistant, hired by his band mates to watch over him and keep him on schedule. However, there is something about the woman that sparks his interest, despite his best to ignore her. When darkness threatens to consume him, he realizes she may be the only light that will chase the shadows away.

End of the Road- June 16th

Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago, and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact that he can't recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced that he was murdered. He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter Cecilia unearths his journal and is able to see him. She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars' rock-and-roll life just may be the death of them, too.

Heart and Soul - June 28th

The '80s rock star Haley Rose and her boyfriend went missing without a trace on October 31, 1988 and were eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, 30-year-old Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know, and she can belt out songs in the same unique fashion. However, Rowan couldn't be the missing rock star since Haley would now be in her 50s. Could Haley Rose have come back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett? Or is Rowan as delusional as her family suspects?

  1. Hey, if he doesn’t join you, I will! Grilled cheese for the win! 🙂

    I wanted to mention there were a few typos and missing words I noticed in this snippet. Just something to keep in mind for edits.

    1. Love grilled cheese, too. Thanks for the heads up. This is definitely a work in progress. Wrote this little scene before running out to a concert last night. lol Did a little tweaking this morning. Much better now. 🙂
