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.”
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.
“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.

Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

I hope that's a compliment rather than a sorrow. Teresa doesn't strike me as a easy woman to live with. Great snippet, Iris. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Siobhan!
DeleteTouching sentiments...I can see how one might wonder if life with Theresa would age someone prematurely, though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by. Yes, life mightn't be the easiest one with Teresa.
DeleteSad little snippet. I'm glad he can smile a bit at the memories.
ReplyDeletethank you, Jennifer.
DeleteSounds like a meeting that wasn't anticipated by the men. I wonder what Teresa is getting at and also why would she have a bad influence on William's health.
ReplyDeleteYou'll find out soon. Thanks for stopping by, Linda.
DeleteJust how old does he look?
ReplyDeleteSweet memories can always bring tears.
Yes, they do. Thank you Chelle.
DeleteLove this line! "As he studied the man, he wondered if it was life with Teresa that made him look so much beyond his age."
ReplyDeleteThat speaks volumes about Teresa's character. I wonder who this Sarah girl is now though, someone special to him?
Yes, finally, someone's picked up on it! LOL ... Thank you Danielle. :-)
DeleteYour characterizations are wonderful. I feel as though I already know Flynn, Teresa and William. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow, Gem. Thanks heaps for your comment. Really appreciate it!
DeleteInteresting comparison between the feelings of "harshness" I get about Teresa and the "softness" of his memories of Sarah.
ReplyDeleteThank you PT. Glad this is shining through.
DeleteI love the way the memories rise up and affect him. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Veronica.
DeleteI felt that memory with him, and I don't even know Sarah. Yet. Looking forward to more!

Thank you so much, Joyce, for your kind words. Really appreciate it.
DeleteI'm getting the impression William is related to Sarah. This could definitely trigger an onslaught of memories!
ReplyDeleteYou're on the right track, Ed :-) Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteEmotional scene, and it left me wondering who Sarah is/was... Nicely done, Iris. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Teresa. we'll find out more about Sarah soon.
DeleteVery natural. Memories can sneak up on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elaine. Yes, they can.
DeleteI know how those memories can sneak up on you. Especially those of your loved ones that have passed on. Sometimes the memories can make you smile and others make you long to hear their voice one more time. Emotional snippet. Makes me want to know more about Sarah.
ReplyDeleteYes, memories can cause all kinds of strong emotions. Glad this is shining through. We'll find out more about Sarah soon. Thanks for stopping by, Karen.
DeleteOh... Who's Sarah? Can't wait to find out!
