INNOCENT TEARS has been re-released.
It has enjoyed another full edit and an awesome new cover.
Here's another little snippet.
THANK YOU
~~~
“Advice is what we ask for when we already
know the answer, but wish we didn't.”
Flynn
looked from Teresa to William. Deep lines of worry appeared on William’s face,
and he slowly nodded. Flynn rubbed his face in disbelief. William reached over
and placed his hand comfortingly on Flynn’s shoulder. Flynn’s eyes stung and he
couldn’t quite face them, but quietly asked, “What happened?”
“Cancer,”
he heard Teresa saying, and for the first time Flynn thought he was able to detect
some emotions.
With
his back hunched, elbows on his knees, and his hands folded in front of his mouth,
he sorted his thoughts – cancer! One tiny word, yet it had a devastating effect
on him. Flynn gave a sudden curse, then leaned back into the chair as he rubbed
his eyes with his fingers.
“Sorry,
son,” William tried to comfort him.
“Why
are you telling me now?” he asked without looking.
There
was a touch of concern in Teresa’s voice. “There’s something else we need to discuss
with you.”

Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!
And check out Snippet Sunday Facebook site for other writers.
What else do they have to tell him? I'm hanging on to hear. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteReally glad you're liking the story, Chelle. There's more to come and it'll all makes sense.
DeleteMy thought exactly, why are they telling him now that it's over instead of telling him before she died so that he could at least say good by?
ReplyDeleteReason why they're telling him now will soon be revealed ;-) Thanks for stopping by, Linda.
Delete"One tiny word, yet it had a devastating effect on him." Indeed so. Waiting patiently to find out what else they have in store for him...
ReplyDeleteGlad you're liking it so far, TM. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteUh oh. There's more? That can't be good. Great snippet, Iris. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's always more ;-) Thanks for stopping by, Siobhan.
DeleteGlad to see at least a hint of emotion from Teresa, and what a wonderfully cruel cliffhanger you ended with! Hurry up, next Sunday!

LOL ... Thank you, Joyce. I'm glad you're liking the story so far.
DeleteNice to see that there might be a touch of humanity in her. (I do love the bit of role reversal here, that she's the emotions-under-control one and William is the more caring/nurturing sort.
ReplyDeleteThank you, PT. Yes, I did have a certain person in mind when I wrote "William". I like his character.
DeleteOh, wow, and if they started by discussing cancer, the next revelation will probably be even more shattering. Enjoyed the excerpt, really held my attention!
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily ;-) Thanks for stopping by, Veronica.
DeleteThere is something else on top of the cancer. Poor guy. Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteYes and no .... Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer.
DeleteGreat snippet. Just when you think it can't get any worse...yikes!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth. Let's wait and find out. It might not be that "bad" ;-)
DeleteWhatever they have to tell him, it won't be good. Poor guy, getting all this bad news.
ReplyDeleteYou never know .... Thanks for stopping by, Ed!
DeleteNow you've left us hanging! Really great use of body language to communicate the emotion of the scene. We have to wait another week now, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words, Rachel. I really appreciate them.
DeleteSo Teresa does have SOME empathy and emotion in her. Who knew? But oh, what a way to leave us! Heart breaking and ominous all at once. Love the line about one word but holds a devastating affect. Nicely done. I wonder what else they could have to tell him, I fear it's not good news either.
ReplyDeleteIt's not all bad :-) We'll find out soon. Thanks for stopping by, Daelyn.
DeleteI just said, "Oh f***" out loud at the last sentence. Well done, love it when I have a visceral reaction to something I read.
ReplyDeleteLOL ... that cracked me up. Thanks Emmy :-)
