The Serialists for July 4th

If you’re reading this, then I didn’t get a chance to pick anyone this week because my brain went on vacation along with my wandering body. 🙂 Please forgive me. I’ll be back to picking a featured author next week.

This is the hub for The Serialists, a meme for people who post original, serialized fiction on their blogs. If you have one or more posts you would like for us to read, please put a direct link to the post(s) in the linky.

If you are not an author and would only like to read, then please leave a comment. I may feature you next week.

Suzie’s House 267 : Where’s Drew?

Suzie's House

Drew stood in front of a narrow window in the foyer of the inn in Yellowstone and stared at the darkness. No taxi would come for him. No busses ran now. And he did not have a place to stay. In the early evening moonlight the deep piles of snow gleamed eerily, taunting him with his own stupidity.

Suzie’s House 266 : A Letter from Drew

Suzie's House

Suzie stood in her bedroom with the letter in her hand. “Suzie” was written in Drew’s bold script over the top. Clearly he’d expected her to open his suitcase and find it sitting there on top of his belongings. Did he really think she wouldn’t respect his privacy? Did he not know her at all?

Chesapeake by James Michener p.801

Like every man aboard that ship, he was convinced that he was engaged upon a sacred mission to defend human liberty. Of the sixty-eight men who left the Choptank, counting Mark Steed, only two owned slaves, but all were persuaded that only by enforcing slavery permanently could the freedom of the nation be preserved.

Rumors Spread Like Ripples

Jack: What are you making? It’s got ripples in it.

Jill: Baby food.

Jack: Really?! That’s wonderful. Wait, you aren’t even pregnant yet.

Jill: I know. It’s for…

Jill: …Mom!

Jill’s mother: Did I hear you say pregnant? Yes!

Theresa’s Chronicle – The Well of Light

He loves her.
Each morning glistens like morning dew on the rose petals
as she stumbles into the kitchen
where coffee splashing into the cup warms his smile.
She sets the toast to slow-burn and stops for a kiss
that is never as quick as intended nor
as long as either would like.
When she heads out the door, his scent lingers
giving her a Mona Lisa smile all day.

Suzie’s House 265: Private Property

Suzie's House

The instant Tracy lay eyes on the suitcase, she was completely taken with it. How weird! A suitcase sitting right by the door. Judging by the dent it made in her shin it must be full. Was someone leaving?

“Whose suitcase is this, Mrs. H. ?”

“Ah. That.” Mrs. H. finished closing the door behind Tracy, and looked at the suitcase like it might bite her. “That belongs to a former tenant.”

The Serialists of June 13th

Is it just me, or did Sheilagh remodel? She’s up to episode five (hopefully six this week) of Child of the Cuckoo’s Nest. I’m liking her male lead in that more and more.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett p.465

The scene: a sassy mama surrounded by a kitchen full of back-talking kids. Her friend comes over to talk. She tells a daughter to cook dinner, and this is what she gets:

“Why I got to do dinner? It’s Sugar’s turn!”

“Cause Sugar at Miss Celia’s and you want a live to see third grade.”

That’s my last teaser from this one. I loved it. The book, I mean. 🙂
