Reine's Salvation (Alpha Protectors I) released on Thursday and of course, I have to share another snippet from the story.
For those of you Nanoing, how is it going? I'm still a bit behind in my word count, but I hope to make it up today.

Reine looked up at the waitress. Then there was her. He’d
heard someone call her Misty once, but he found the name so odd, he figured he’d
heard wrong. She was the life and soul of the place. She worked every other
night, and he could almost swear the venue was more packed when she was around.
Misty, or whatever her name was, took friendly to another level. She was on top
of everything, speaking with customers, bringing out orders, and all the time
smiling as if she were the happiest person on earth. She was good looking too,
so seeing her prance around was more a pleasure than a hindrance.
Reine took a sip of his drink, aware she hadn’t left
to tend to another customer.
“How about some peanuts?” she said while pulling over
a small plate.

ReplyDeleteIf she's the life of the party and she's sticking around to offer him peanuts, I'd say that was a good sign. :) Congratulations on your release!

ReplyDeleteHe's intrigued by her. Nice. Congrats on your new release.
ReplyDeleteYou've painted in intriguing portrait of a lively personality.
ReplyDeleteI can tell from the blurb that Misty is a nickname, but it really isn't all that odd of a name. She's definitely drawing his attention!
