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 up at Teresa. He wasn’t sure whether he wanted to discuss anything else. In fact, he hadn’t discussed anything yet, and as far as he was concerned, he just received one of the biggest blows in his life. His beautiful Saz was dead, and he hadn’t been by her side to comfort her.
He moved his head and looked out the window onto the busy streets of Melbourne. A smile played at the corner of his mouth as he remembered the first time he had met Sarah. He had been the new guy at school, and she had offered him the seat next to her. Of course, it was awkward for him to be the only boy sitting next to a girl, but after only a few minutes he wasn’t able to take his eyes off her. He even had a few chuckles watching the frustration grow within her with the struggle to contain her curly hair. She was constantly pinning back another escaped strand of hair with a bobby pin, resulting in a big messy hair do at the end of the day. And as he’d found out over the next months, it was a continuous battle. One day, he was taking her home on his bike when she had a flat tyre, and he remembered the light kiss she gave him on his cheek as she thanked him. He was in love. Even at his fifteen years he couldn’t think of anything or anybody else but Sarah. She was the one for him. Though still a teenager herself, she had already radiated a mature calm. She seemed carefree and innocent. A trait he had always admired in her. Considering the strict upbringing by her mother, Sarah had always maintained her cheerful nature. And her headstrong nature and impulsiveness often clashed with Teresa’s authority.
Teresa interrupted his thoughts. “Flynn!”

Flynn slowly stared up at her.

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.”

Flynn’s eyebrows shot up as he turned to her. She had his attention. “How is Saz?”
“She died just after last Christmas,” Teresa said without any obvious emotions.
Flynn stared from Teresa to William and back, not really focusing on them. A heaviness centred in his chest, and as he buried his head in his hands a feeling of emptiness spread through his body. Choking him. Distressed at having lost her the second time, and this time for good.

“Advice is what we ask for when we already 
know the answer, but wish we didn't.”



I've moved forward a little ... Flynn McCormack is now sitting in the 
hotel cafe with Teresa and William Gibbs. This is the start of their conversation.


Flynn had liked her <Sarah> from the first day he had seen her in high school after he            had moved to Launceston with his parents. Her brown curly hair, the freckles she had
desperately tried to cover with make-up. And her smile! He had never forgotten her
smile.
“How’re you going, Will?”
“I can’t complain, son,” William smiled. “I retired last year and I’m glad we’re                          having–”
“William!” Teresa interrupted in a harsh voice.
Flynn’s mouth curved into a bitter smile as he shook his head. Nothing had changed
between these two people. “Retired, eh?”
William nodded, but it seemed he knew better than to say anything else. They all
watched the waiter as he placed another tray of tea onto the table. William dunked                 the teabag a few times, then took a sip. “You seem to be doing well, son.”
Flynn choked back a chuckle, and echoed the same sentiment. “Can’t complain.”
“Well,” Teresa interrupted. “We haven’t got all day, and we have to get back to the
room soon.”
“Suits me fine.” Flynn replied nonchalantly.
“We need to talk to you about Sarah.”
Flynn’s eyebrows shot up as he turned to her. She had his attention. “How is Saz?”

“What is this, Teresa?” he asked without looking at her.
“There’s no reason to get testy,” Teresa countered, signalling for William to join them as he entered the café.
“Look, I haven’t got all day. I’m very busy.”
Flynn raised his head slightly and nodded at William, who sat down opposite him. As he studied the man, he wondered if it was life with Teresa that made him look so much beyond his age. He couldn’t be older than sixty. Flynn took another sip and the corner of his mouth twitched into a grin as he remembered William’s fiftieth birthday party in the Gibbs’ backyard just outside Launceston – and his stomach ached as he thought of Sarah. It had been a while since memories had popped up in his head, but when he did, he missed her. William reminded Flynn so much of her.

“Advice is what we ask for when we already

“Certainly, Mr. McCormack.”
He turned and walked towards the café. She followed him with her gaze and just
thinking of his long eyelashes and the stubbles covering his jaw-line gave her a shudder.
Emma took the phone and dialled room five-o-two. It took a while until Mrs. Gibbs
answered.
“Mrs. Gibbs, Emma from the reception here.”
“Well, dear, about time. Have you been successful with the babysitter?”
Reality check. She had forgotten about that. “No, but I will check with our
management, and I can help you out myself if that would suit you,” Emma lied and
slapped her forehead as soon as she had said it. What was it with this woman who made
her do or say things without a second thought?
There was a deep sigh at the other end of the line. “Well, young lady, I suppose I
have no other choice.” And she hung up.
Emma stared at the phone in utter astonishment and then dialled the room number
again.
“It’s Emma here, again,” she said with as much confidence as she could muster.
Mrs. Gibbs sighed. “Now what?”
“Mrs. Gibbs, my original call was primarily to inform you that Mr. McCormack is here,
and waiting for you in the hotel café.”
“Thank you, dear. I expect you upstairs at one o’clock.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
