Six Sentence Sunday #19

This last week I learned that Six Sentence Sunday will be closing the end of the month. Gack! I am dismayed.

In looking back over 15 Six Sentence Sunday posts, I see I’ve never featured my science fiction romance, Passages.

Another week of edits on my WIP The Farm: When the farm owner leads the new artist through the outbuildings on a tour, Daeryn drops what he’s doing and follows along to meet her, instantly raising the hackles of his co-workers.
