It's the next-to-last Six Sentence Sunday. A moment of silence please. *bows head* *wipes away tear*
This has been a fun week for Back on Track. I got to see it listed on the Samhain website for the first time--although it was funny to see the name "Amanda Cummings" instead of mine on the book page! (My name is definitely on the book cover, which is what counts.) You can read the first part of Chapter 1 there if you'd like.
And it was exciting to see a review of Back on Track from Fresh Fiction. I didn't know they had reviewed it, so it was a lovely treat to stumble across that.
Also, you can enter to win a copy, two months before it is released, by checking out the Happy Endings Giveaway Hop.
Finally, here's my snippet, where Allie and Matt, the baseball pitcher, have just outrun some of his fans. They're hiding in a tiny bathroom on the train so they can indulge in some private kissing:
“Perfect,” she murmured, right before she captured his mouth with her own. His lips were soft yet insistent, as if he’d been wanting this as long as she had. She wrapped her arms around his neck, stroking the tendrils of hair that escaped his hat, wishing he wasn’t wearing the thing. He must have read her mind, because he snatched it off and tucked it into his back pocket without moving his mouth from hers.
“What a pro,” she murmured.
“An all-star,” he said with a grin against her lips.
Hope you have a great Sunday, Sixies! Thanks for stopping by.
A definite all-star! Great six! :-)

Love it! Books with sports figures are always fun. And since I'm a baseball fan, this gets extra points. :D

Nice--you paint a scene so perfectly. The dialogue is wonderful. So natural, it just flows.
“An all-star,” haha...priceless!
Great six, Donna!

Your work is fun (I read Summer Lovin' and enjoyed it), and this snippet doesn't disappoint. Keep up the good work!

Oh no about the name screw-up! I'm sure it'll get changed asap.
Love the snippet. I truly can't wait to read this one. Maybe I should go enter that contest... :)
