Six Sentence Sunday



Hello! And welcome to this week's installment of Six Sentence Sunday. It comes from my current Work In Progress. It is the second book in a series called The Conditioned that I am writing. The first book Eye Contact is contracted with Decadent Publishing. I don't have a release date yet but when I do I will let you know. This one is tentatively called Embraced.

“What?” Somewhere along the line Ben had lost track of this conversation.

“Benedicte Lavelle, I’m asking you what you are going to do to mark the death of your wife? Four years ago tomorrow? Ring some kind of bell?”

Ben put his head in his hands. “Jesus Christ.” He’d fucking forgotten. In the midst of it all, he’d forgotten Dana’s death. What kind of monster was he?

Best to all of you,
RR

    Sounds like he's moving on but doesn't think he deserves to. Very nice post.

    Hi Rebecca -
    On your website or here on your blog, I don't see any way to contact you directly other than to leave a comment.

    I was wondering if 'Alpha Wolf' would be available in paperback in the future? As well as the prior books in that series?

    I don't have an ereader and I don't like to read books on the computer.

    I've also sent an email asking this question to Liquid Silver Books.

    Thanks,
    Lea Ellen {night owl in IL}

    That's a heavy six. But I'm sure he's not really a monster.
