Weekend Writing Warriors #158!

I want to thank all of you so, so much for your kind words last week. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. Sending my love and thoughts back to everyone, especially those who've lost their moms (or dads) too. Sometimes it's comforting simply knowing that I'm not alone, and that I'll survive this, just as you have. *hugs* to all. 

Here's the blurb for Adventures in Online DatingAfter too many failed relationships, too many shots of tequila, and too many not-so-gentle nudges from her best friend, Sydney Montrose joins an online dating site in hopes of finding THE ONE. During her adventures, she crosses paths with a professional gamer who lives with his parents, a sweet and sarcastic parking enforcement officer, a flirty barista, a mystery man, a touchy-feely former felon, and a clown. Which one will she choose? Well, that's all entirely up to you! :-D

And here's an excerpt, continuing from where we left off:

Sam took that as his cue to exit stage left, but before he did, he said, “He gives you any trouble, you let me know. I have my black belt.”
            Great. As if he wasn’t already perfect. “I definitely, definitely will.”
            Shooting her a wink, he disappeared into the kitchen. She was half-tempted to launch herself over the counter and chase after him, when a heavy hand landed on her shoulder. Turning on her stool, she came face to chest with a big, bulky, muscular man. Slowly raising her gaze, she found herself staring into dark green eyes that darkened even further when she swallowed. Collin. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!


Today's the last day of my March break. It's been a wonderful time spent with friends and family. The BF took a bus down to see us on Friday and meet some of the extended family, but the flu decided to visit me too. I left little deposits all along the highway yesterday during our drive back to Dad's place, and yeah, I felt awful, but you know the best part? My two guys took wonderful care of me. They couldn't have been better nurses. As much as I miss my mom, she would have been so proud of how they handled the situation. :) I wish you all a fabulous, germ-free week ahead! xo

  7. I can hardly wait to read this story, Evelyn! I have a friend who's been online dating for 10 years after being widowed in her early 40s. I keep telling her she should write a book about it. Sometimes it's simply unbelievable.

    I hope you feel better soon, dearie. I'm glad your guys took good care of you. Hugs...

  8. Hmm. Collin comes off as a little scary in this snippet. He might be able to take down the black belt barista.
