It's a long wait for Gypsy Afterglow coming from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid. I'll pass the time by giving you glimpses into the ancient and deeply traditional world of Brynn and Marco. Here's a bit from the first chapter (unedited).
"Sitting on my grandmother’s back step, I could hear the quick, staccato sounds of the flamenco music they played for passers-by. I didn’t then and still don’t know how to dance like that, but at the time, knowing I was alone, my toes flew in an unorganized pattern on the dried grass.
The day that I crossed the river will forever be with me, partly because I’ve chosen to embroider it on my heart and partly because it was a day that opened my eyes to a different culture and to a certain mystical, handsome boy who grew to be a powerfully sensual man. If a gypsy oracle had told me back then how things would turn out, well…no. I’d do it all over again in an instant. It made me who I am today."
Would love to hear your thoughts so far.
