Could running out of milk have Jerome running headlong into love?
I'm taking part in a Valentine Giveaway. Join me and 19 other authors as we give away free short stories. That's 20 free short stories for about five minutes of your time. The downside, you'll be asked to sin up to our newsletters. I can't speak for the rest of the authors there but I'm as lax with my newsletter as I am with my blog, so you'll be lucky to hear from me once a month. Normally new releases and sales. Enough already, what book can I get? I'll be giving away 'Waiting for a Spark', which includes the ficlet 'When the Boat Comes In'
Real Life got in the way, and that means I'm still working on the newsletter. So if you want to sign up for the first issue (and get a free copy Waiting for a Spark, now with the bonus ficlet When the Boat Come In) there is still time. I anticipate it being ready to go by Friday.
And it's uploaded to Smashwords so will be appearing at all the usual places via them at some point over the next few days. But don't forget, if you sign up for my newsletter by 5th January I'll give you a copy absolutely free.
Could
running out of milk have Jerome running headlong into love?
Jerome's life is pretty mundane. Every day he
catches the bus to work, listens to his best friend rant on about the latest
crisis in his life, and tries to stop his attention from wandering to the
gorgeous guy in the back seat.
Friday morning is no different. Except that Jerome
is lost in all kinds of lustful dreams because Gorgeous is definitely making
eye contact. But when his best friend involves the entire bus in a rant about
jobs lost to Eastern Europeans, Jerome finds himself too distracted to
challenge it. And that moment of inattention might ruin Jerome's chance to
finally discover if reality can match his fantasies because Gorgeous has gone.
And without as much as a backwards glance.
Two days later, Jerome’s run out of milk and all the
local shops are shut except for thePolskie Delikatesy. Stepping through the door brings Jerome face to face with the object of
his hopeless affection—and an awkward confrontation about the nature of
prejudice. If he can come
to terms with his own misconceptions about others, and accept the offered
chance to set the record straight, maybe he'll be going home with more than
just a pint of milk.
Waiting for a Spark now has a new blurb to go with the new cover. Blurb

I've finally got myself a newsletter. I intend to try to send an email out every month or so, but don't worry, I'll restrict it to times when I have information to impart. It will be the easiest way to find out about my new releases, cover reveals, and sales. I may even throw in snippets from my latest WIP, plans for future stories, ficlets from our favourite characters, maybe even the occasional freebie.
In fact if you sign up before Twelfth Night, the first issue of the newsletter will contain a free copy of my soon to be re-released short story 'Waiting for a Spark'.
