Sneak Peek Sunday

http://sneak-peek-sunday.blogspot.com/

Excerpt from "Meet Me, Darling" by Edna Curry. Published by Melange Books.

“She’s here?” The big man growled to himself. Heat surged up his neck and he fisted his hands. What rotten luck. Why hadn’t he killed her when he’d had the chance, twenty years ago?
He stared at the Cameron Company payroll list on the computer screen in front of him. Then hope flared. Maybe it was only a coincidence. Maybe they hadn’t hired HER, only someone with the same name.
Hacking into the company’s human resources database, he pulled up her file. Jolene Carson, twenty-five years old. Yep, the right age. Next of kin, parents, Sam and Nancy Carson. Damn, it was her.
He liked it here in Minneapolis and didn’t want to move on again. Maybe she wouldn’t recognize him. They worked on different floors and in different departments. Maybe he could avoid her, or maybe she wouldn’t remember him. He’d changed a lot, hadn’t he? Twenty years was a long time and she’d been so young then. He’d gained thirty pounds sitting at an office desk and no longer wore farmer’s jeans or had a dark suntan from working outdoors.
No, he couldn’t take that chance. If she told, she could ruin everything for him. He’d have to get rid of her.

Where the heck is spring?

Where the heck is spring? The weather guys keep telling us how warm it was in MN last year, 80 degrees on St. Patrick's Day 60's most days around it. acck. Here we are this year with snow falling ever couple of days and a foot of the damned white stuff covering the ground.
Yeah, I know, you snow lovers love it. But enough is enough! Let's have spring already!!

Another snowstorm brewing here in MN.
Only flurries, so far, but the weatherman says it's coming. Supposed to get 6-10 inches. Thank goodness for snow plows.

My pet peeve of the day: The horrible laugh of the lady in the Volkswagen commercial. Yikes!

Another horrible ad: the AARP one that asks, How long have you had your car insurance? Then claims "old rates,...you may be paying too much.
Hey, the last time I looked, companies raise their rates every time they send a bill. So, I'd sure rather have the old, lower rates. LOL.

Then there's the ugly woman in the no smoking ad putting on her wig and voice box. You can't even understand what she's supposed to be saying.

What are your votes for worst ads?

Sneak Peek Sunday

Excerpt from:

Eccentric Lady by Edna Curry
A Lacey Summers, P I Novel

http://amzn.to/SYKe4B

“Would you like some coffee?” I’d already had my morning caffeine, but I wanted to put her at ease and offering coffee usually does that. Instead of taking the chair I’d indicated, she wandered over to the large window overlooking Long Lake and stared out, her arms folded over her chest. At my question, she turned, eyed me and nodded. “Coffee would be nice.”
I moved to the side table and plugged in the coffeemaker.
“You do know Agnes Simms?” Her voice was a bit skeptical. Oh, oh. Was she going to change her mind about coming here?
As I added water and grounds to the coffeemaker, I wracked my memory for that name. Landers only has a thousand people, so I know most of them. But some work in the cities and only use our little burg as a bedroom town, doing all their shopping and business elsewhere. So those I’ve had little opportunity to meet. “I think I’ve heard the name, but can’t recall meeting her right now. Could you tell me a bit about her? And what your problem is?”
Patti stood at my office window staring out over Long Lake while I stood at the side table making coffee. She was a perfectly groomed, slim woman with long blonde hair. She wore a navy blue business suit with matching high heels and carried a matching leather purse. Her lips and fingertips were bright red. But she wore a worried look on her face instead of a smile.
“My problem is that you have a stupid sheriff!” she burst out, bitterness dripping from her voice.
