INNOCENT TEARS will be re-released late-January.
It has enjoyed another full edit and an awesome new cover.
Here's another little snippet.
THANK YOU
~~~
Emma typed the name on the keyboard, and while she waited for the details, she smiled at the girl, and asked, “Holidays?”
Nadine’s face spread into a small smile, but it was enough to show she had her two top teeth missing.
“And I see the tooth fairy has been to see you recently.”
“Excuse me–” Mrs. Gibbs glanced at Emma’s name badge. “–Emma. Can we proceed with the check-in please?”
“My apologies, ma’am.” Emma read the details on the screen, made a few notes and turned around to activate the automated door card in the back office. All the while, she felt Mrs. Gibbs’ glare on her and instinctively pulled on her navy uniform skirt feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!
I'm glad you're continuing with snippets from this story, and congrats on the re-release. And I *really* don't like Mrs. Gibbs already!

Thanks Joyce ... Yeah, Mrs Gibbs ... very unique ....
DeleteI agree -- not liking Mrs. Gibbs at all!
ReplyDeleteGood ... she's not nice ... thanks for stopping by, PT :-)
DeleteGee,all I was thinking - would it hurt Mrs. Gibbs to crack a smile. I really feel for the little girl to be in the hands of such a curmudgeon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelle ... there's light at the end of the tunnel for the little girl, yet, not soon, though.
DeleteHum, Mrs Gibbs sounds really harsh. I bet the tooth fairy never showed up in that house.
ReplyDeleteYeah ... no tooth fairy with Mrs Gibbs around :-)
DeleteI agree with everyone else. Mrs. Gibbs doesn't sound like a sympathetic character.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine :-)
DeleteGood luck with your re-release! Sounds like a good read - Emma sounds like a cutie so far :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteOh that Mrs. Gibbs sounds like one of THOSE people - officious and very unpleasant! Great snippet, really drew me in. Best wishes on the rerelease!

DeleteMrs. Gibbs needs to take some 'nice' pills. lol Congrats on the upcoming release.
