Six Sentence Sunday...


Welcome back for another Six Sentence Sunday. We’re still at a mining base on the moon of Esther in the year 2088. Louise has just stepped off the shuttle all ready to meet her new husband for the first time but he’s not the man she expected.

Thanks to all those that take the time to comment each week! Much appreciated. I’ll be off at the Romance Writers of Australia conference on the Gold Coast next weekend so I’ll catch you the week after. 


The man in the pictures the Marriage Coordinator sent her had dimples and a lopsided grin. But this guy… he was tall and lean with bloodshot eyes a demon would envy. He had a three day growth and a head of short dark hair beyond disarray. On one side of his head it stuck out in clumps as if he’d fallen asleep in something liquid and evil. He looked like someone had recently hosed him off a barroom floor. 
     And Gods, the smell of him.

    LOL! What an awesome description, the last line made me give a chuckle! Definitely doesn't sound like the guy in the pic, but it definitely makes me wonder what happened to him--sounds like he has a story. I bet when he's cleaned up, it'll be the guy in the pic, he's just been through something rough :)

    Wow! Great description. This does not sound good for Louise. On the other hand, it sounds awesome for us. More, please! (I already know I'm gonna buy this.)

    Oh DEAR. I hope either he's the wrong guy or there's a very good explanation or....wait, *you're* writing the story, not me, so I can relax! I'm in good hands (and so I'm sure, is your heroine!). Enjoy the RWAus...but can't wait to read more of this story. Terrific six!
