Welcome to another Six Sentence Sunday.
Our final one with my post-zombie-apocalypse M/F/M novel 'Flesh', before we move onto ‘Room with a View’, a short story
set in the same world but featuring all new
characters.
But first up, there was a request for another dose of Dan. So here he is giving relationship advice to his girlfriend's other boyfriend. Finn and Ali have had a
falling out and Dan is trying to convince Finn to go and make-up with her. He’s
just told Finn that sometimes it’s important to say you’re sorry, even if you
don’t mean it...
“Sometimes, especially if you don’t mean
it.”
Finn choked on a laugh. “That’s
terrible.”
“Terrible but true. Sometimes you need
to make the peace and work it all out later. Being together is what’s
important.”
A new review off the Amazon page that sums up the story quite nicely... "Scott writes an exciting apocalypse novel, which draws you in from the
very start. Interesting is the menage treatment. Women are rare and the
heroine's travelling companions are two very different men, both intent
on making sure she survives even if that means they have to share her.
The world is littered with diseased and dying zombies determined on
eating the survivors. The surviving trio find a small town mixed with
the brave, the biblical, and other complex characters. When a strange
suicide occurs, suspicion strikes. Is there a killer in the town? Is
survival possible with zombies, marauding bands of humans surrounding
the town?"
Wise advise. More people should take that on board. Great excerpt.
ReplyDeleteGreat six, Kylie! And congratulations on your upcoming release :D
ReplyDeleteGood advice from one guy to another. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Sometimes you do have to apologise, even if you don't mean it, just to keep the peace. :)
ReplyDeleteThe insincere apology...so necessary for relationships even if we don't like to admit it.
ReplyDeleteI loved that part. Great story people and it's only .99 :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! The peace is definitely more important than pride :) I LOVE your cover for Flesh, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI'm with him, make peace NOW and sort it out later - great six!
ReplyDeleteSound advice, especially when there are zombies outside the door. Not a time for bickering. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat philosophy. Nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! Especially in the world they're living in, keeping the peace is important!
ReplyDeleteSmart man. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting philosophy! Enjoyed this 6 Kylie!
ReplyDeleteWill you be releasing this on the nook or smashwords?
ReplyDeleteSorry, unfortunately we're not able to at the moment. :( Hoping to organise a print on demand run though. Thanks, Brandy!
DeleteGood advice, but I hate it when my hubs says sorry and I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean it - he just wants the fight over. Maybe he shouldn't have told me that's why he does it. O.o
ReplyDeleteWise advice, though a bit tricky given the situation.
