And now, the excerpt!
“Tell me! Who
was I with?”
“Zoe…and
Jason.”
“What?” I
screeched and scurried away from him to huddle on the edge of the bed. “I don’t
know what you’re talking about!” Zoe was in Massachusetts and was probably
dead, and Jason…Jason was…I didn’t know. Why would I have been with Jason?
Nothing was making sense. Scrunching my eyes closed, I tried to remember, but
the harder I tried, the more my head hurt. Panic churned within me, making me
feel sick. My heart beat heavily, like my blood was too thick, and my lungs
felt constricted.
“Dani,” Gabe
said, and I felt the bed shift behind me. He scooted closer, joining me on the
edge of the bed and draping his arm over my bare shoulders. “I’m sorry. I
didn’t mean to upset you.”
Only when I
looked up at him did I realize tears were streaking down my cheeks. “I don’t
want to think about them…about any of it,” I told him. “If they’re gone…I just
want to forget. I just want to be here, with you.”
“Dani, I
think we should…”
I tilted my
face up, leaning in closer to the safety and comfort of his body. “What?”
“Probably not
be…”
“What?” I
asked, raising my hand to his face. I brushed my thumb over his chin, feeling
the rough stubble covering it, and angled his face lower.
“In here,
doing this.” He breathed in jerkily when my thumb brushed across his full lower
lip. It was soft and dry and begging to be kissed.
“I have no
idea what you’re talking about,” I whispered, closing the distance between us.
AUTHOR Bio:
Lindsey
Fairleigh lives her life with one foot in a book—as long as that book
transports her to a magical world or bends the rules of science. Her novels,
from post-apocalyptic to time travel and historical fantasy, always offer up a
hearty dose of unreality, along with plenty of adventure and romance. When
she's not working on her next novel, Lindsey spends her time reading and trying
out new recipes in the kitchen. She lives in the Napa Valley with her loving
husband and confused cats.
Lindsey Pogue
has always been a little creative. As a child she established a bug hospital on
her elementary school soccer field, compiled books of collages as a teenager,
and as an adult, expresses herself through writing. Her novels are inspired by
her observations of the world around her--whether she's traveling, people
watching, or hiking. When not plotting her next story line or dreaming up new,
brooding characters, Lindsey's wrapped in blankets watching her favorite action
flicks or going on road trips with her own leading man.

Now I have an idea about a young man who cared very little for others feelings, a bully who possessed sheer animal magnetism. One of those people you just know that their comeuppance will be an ugly, ugly experience.
I like handwriting since it gives me a chance to scratch things out, doodle, and go in multiple directions without worrying too much about making sense. The idea is to explore the limits of the idea. Is is a short story or full length novel? What is the setting like? Who the heck are these people??
I set my pen to paper and let it flow forth without thinking too much. Once I start thinking, I get uptight about what the story needs - setting, description, strong active verbs, shorter sentences here, longer sentences there, blah, blah, blah, you know the rest.
