Moonlighting in Paris Baby Girl Book II is now available!
Excerpt: I walked and walked ducking through alleys and shops attempting to confuse and lose him. When I no longer felt the sting of his bouncing eyes on my back I headed to the hotel. I spent so much mental energy evading him I’d gotten lost then I remembered the crude map Jean gave me; I unfolded it, checked street signs, and plotted the course. When I reached the hotel I wound my way up to my room, dropped on my bed and thought of my discoveries. Ring! Ring! The phone blasted and my body jumped in an involuntary lurch, falling off the bed. I scrambled to my feet, and picked up the phone, as if it would blow up in my hands. “Hello?” “Miss Holmes, this is Didier. How is your stay?” His French accent melted the words off his tongue, and my anxiety disappeared. “I’m great, and yes, all my needs are met.” “If there is anything more I can do to make your stay unforgettable, don’t hesitate to ask.” Is it customary for hotel owners to call their guests? “Thank you.” I placed the phone on the receiver. Within minutes of hanging up the phone a knock rattled the door. Room service? I hadn’t placed an order. I grabbed a doll sized statue seated on a table, in case Mr. Dancy Eyes stood on the other side, and opened the door. To my thankful surprise it wasn’t Mr. Dancy Eyes, but a bottle of complimentary wine and a bouquet. The delivery boys’ eyes scanned the statue in my hands, and he pushed the gifts toward me as if to block my blow. With a sheepish grin I set the statue back on the table and took the vase and wine. A card on a stick hidden amongst the flowers read Invitation. I opened it and read, Join me at the restaurant downstairs for dinner under the stars tomorrow, Didier with a yes and no box underneath the print. The boy handed me a pen. I marked the yes box and gave it to him. After all, now I was glamorous Justine, and lived an exquisite life. He nodded as he caught it by the corner then scurried to the elevator. Available at all these retailers: Amazon Amazon.co.uk B & N Smashwords Apple iStore Google Play Kobo Today is a big day for me. It marks the first day of the Baby Girl Books re-release! The books have added scenes and chapters. I've spent hundreds of painstaking hours pouring over edits and rewrites. As a wonderful surprise author Manuela Cardiga made new book covers for each book. I'm thrilled and hope you'll take the time to visit Amazon or Smashwords. The books will be available elsewhere soon.
Huge thanks to all Baby Girl's fans because you've made this possible. Amazon- http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Baby-Girl-Boo…/…/B00GYP1DXS/ Amazon U.K.- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Baby-Girl-Bo…/…/B00GYP1DXS Smashwords- https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/469708 Recently, my KDP ended on Baby Girl Book 1 so I uploaded it at smashwords and priced it free. It has received a ton of downloads which is great. I'm happy to see so many people downloading it and/or placing in their library. The problem is it's still .99 at Amazon. Kindle won't allow a book to be priced for free so I'm going for the price match angle but I need help. If enough people find the book elsewhere for free than I'm hoping Amazon will list it free. This is where you come in.

Now that you have done that I hope you grabbed yourself a free copy! Thanks for all your support :-) Once I reached the edge of town I sat and waited for the freight train. Hunkered beside a rusted out caboose I noticed how dark and eerily quiet the night was. My senses alerted to a rustling noise through the grass. My head bolted towards it and my heart skipped a few beats before an alley cat ran across the tracks. Relaxing, I heard the train pulsing through the night. It would make its usual stop and then be on its way again; whatever the destination, I would be on it.
As the slowly purring train passed, I grabbed hold of a side rail, and wielding all my energy, threw myself onto it. I took a minute to catch my breath and make sure all my parts were still present and accounted for. A slight sting festered at my heart for leaving the only home I’d ever known. Gently through the night the train roared forward. I had found a place inside one of the cars with just enough room for me to curl up. Starting today through Monday my Baby Girl Books 1 and 2 are free.
Today and tomorrow Baby Girl Book is free and Sunday and Monday Baby Girl Book 2 is free. Grab your copies this weekend! |
