Who are the characters in the book?
Julie is an ex-FBI agent, now sheriff of a
small town in Indiana. She’s burnt out on law-enforcement since she shot a
teenager who turned out to be innocent. She’s trying to start a new career
publishing coffee table books. When her college marching band reunion comes up
she escapes her intense life to attend, hoping the two men she loved in
college—her ex boyfriend and her best friend—will attend as well.
Timmy was Julie’s college boyfriend but he
screwed things up with her when he returned to his ex-girlfriend back home. He’s
often regretted this move and wondered how his life would have turned out with
Julie. He’s quite successful in his business life and has opened a chain of
steak houses on the west coast. He also likes to fly planes.
James was Julie’s best friend in college.
He’s always wondered if he should have asked Julie out on a date and regrets
that he didn’t do so. He’s now a widower and a pediatrician who’s into karate
and Ren Faires.
If you could have five authors, over for
dinner, alive or dead, who would they be and why?
Stephen King, Stephen White, Sherryl Woods,
Tina Wainscott, and Jane Austen
Their books fascinate and/or enchant me.
I absolutely love “The Stand” by Stephen
King and “Pride & Prejudice” by Jane Austen. I’ve read these two books
several times and I’ve also watched the movies over and over.
I always fall in love with Sherryl Woods
heroes.
Stephen White’s psychological thrillers
fascinate me—I can’t get enough.
Tina Wainscott is my newest favorite. I
recently read her book “I’ll Be Watching You” and I couldn’t put it down. I
look forward to reading more of her books.
EXCERPT
A shadow fell across Julie, waking her up from her nap and a husky voice washed over her. “You’re going to be sorry falling asleep out here. This sun is brutal.” Groggy, she shaded her eyes and looked up at the shadowy figure in awe. “Timmy, is that you? You’re early.” He leaned down, his body still sinewy and strong, and held out his hand to her. Nary a wrinkle marred his matured face. Only a few laugh lines fanned out from his eyes which added to his attractiveness. “You, too. Is that a sign?” She couldn’t help but chuckle. Since when did Tim believe in signs? “A sign?” “That you want to see me, be with me in private, as I want to see you and be with you in private.” She swallowed hard and put her hand in his, her heart somersaulting when they touched for the first time in more than thirty years. A maelstrom of emotion washed over her and she didn’t want to mess up what was probably her last chance to be with him, so she wasn’t about to play coy. Slowly, seductively, she licked her lips. “You read my mind.” As he helped her up his gaze smoldered into her eyes. He dragged her against him and his hard cock rubbed against her. He nipped her ear, then whispered huskily, “Your nipples are puckering against your suit. I’d call that a sign.” Standing on her tip toes, she replied hoarsely, “Your very hard, very hot cock is pressing into my stomach. That’s another sign.” He pressed his lips to hers, not plundering but light enough he was able to speak against them, “Then we should do something about all these signs.”
