Jean Joachim  (Young Adult)

Why am I smashed into the backseat? Because they are dumping me upstate to live with my grandparents while they sail away on a disgusting luxury ship

Susanne Matthews (Romantasy)

Not all of our partners are as patient as I’d like them to be. 

Tricia Andersen (Sci-Fi)

It looks like you’re going to squash your shyness before you come back. Or scrap the trip.

TUESDAY TALES - SOMEONE LIKE YOU - PART 4

 

JEAN JOACHIM  (Contemporary Romance) 

While the paint mixed, he wandered over. “Changed your mind about marrying me?” he asked. 

TUESDAY TALES - SOMEONE LIKE YOU 3

 

    

   This is the third week of  Tuesday Tales author vacations and of excerpts from my new book, which is in editing now. Part 3 of "Someone Like You" highlights our hero, Professor Mark Garrett. 

JEAN JOACHIM (Contemporary Romance)

Professor Mark Garrett hated sitting alone at university functions. Ever since his wife, Nancy, passed away, he was forced to participate on his own.

   

TUESDAY TALES - SOMEONE LIKE YOU - 2

 

          This week, we're continuing with our vacation version of Tuesday Tales. All the other authors except me are on vacation. So I've posted excerpt 2 of "Someone Like You", my new book debuting next month. 

            JEAN JOACHIM (Contemporary Romance)

            “Don’t you go getting any ideas about Professor Garrett,” her father said.

VACATION POST - SOMEONE LIKE YOU

 

Since three of our authors are on vacation this month, I will be posting in their absence. Come September, they will return with their stories. 

In the meantime, I will be post snippets from my new book, "Someone Like You" - a new one each week. The book is with my editor now and won't be up on Amazon for about a month. But you can read a new excerpt here each week for the month of August. 

The first one is live now. Click on this link Someone Like You to go to the story. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

Remember that the other authors will be back the first week of September! 

Best regards, 

Jean Joachim 

TUESDAY TALES - WORD PROMPT "TROT"

 

Welcome to Tuesday Tales, where writers create stories to word prompts. This week the word prompt is "trot". Here are the stories for this week. 

SUSANNE MATTHEWS (Paranormal Fantasy)

The sound of the door opening struck momentary terror in her heart. 

TRICIA ANDERSEN (Sci-Fi)

Maybe she would pass out and not have to ask? If only she could be so lucky.

TRISHA FAYE (Historical Fiction)

She’d only been able to finagle a yard of fabric from the meager coins in her pocketbook.

That's all for this week. Thanks for stopping by.

Susanne Matthews (Paranormal/Fantasy)

It was rare for one of her age and standing within the Council to be assigned to the field, but caring for the princess was a great honor. 

 

Trisha Faye (Historical Fiction)

“I’m pretty sure I do. Let me double check.”

Tricia Andersen (Sci Fi)

You may not be grinning for long, Dani thought to herself.
