For those who might like a little cool during the summer heat…
From Snow Bound:
With a sudden snap, the room went dark.
The transition from softly lit home office to the pitch-black that can only occur living in the back of beyond took a little adjustment for Damon, but before his eyes cleared of squiggles and colored lights, he had his oversized flashlight palmed and on. Like his eyes, he let the rest of his body adjust to the new circumstances, which he’d been anticipating since heavy snow started coming down a couple of hours ago.
Now instead of the croon of Toby Keith, he was left with utter stillness and the sound of the wind rushing against the eaves outside. The kick of his heartbeat after the surprise had automatically slowed, just as he’d done all the years he’d served his country in combat situations that required steady hands and complete focus.
Though a strong snowstorm in the middle of February might not be a big deal for most parts of the country, the southern Tennessee valley was looking at complete and total shutdown for the next few days if they received the five inches the weatherman had been predicting since the day before. People here simply weren’t equipped or experienced with this kind of weather, which led to scary driving scenarios and a mad rush on the local Piggly Wiggly. Luckily Damon had managed to grab enough beer and chips to get him through, despite the little white-haired lady that had stared him down over the last bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos. Like a true Texas gentleman, he’d conceded and settled for Cool Ranch instead.

Hello from a fellow blog hopper. This excerpt felt very authentic, and I loved the humor at the end.

That’s cute. I can just see the white-haired lady staring down the young hunk over the Doritos. Definitely a gentleman!

Thanks for the giggle. Snow about now sounds nice anyway. A week of 100+ temps and I’m ready to move to Alaska. LOL. Gonna check out the blurb for your book right now. 😀

Aw, thanks, ladies! Damon really came alive in this novella. He has quite a dry sense of humor. And let me tell ya, those little old ladies around here will fight you over their “snow supplies”. 🙂
