“wall, clenching and unclenching his fists. He wore running shorts and an oversized sweatshirt, sweat-darkened triangles at the chest and armpits. Matted hair, damp. But breathing easy. Gordon slid his gaze to the gurney. Megan wore a pair of loose cotton shorts. A warmup jacket hung over the arm of a nearby chair and a pair of sneakers sat on the floor below. Had she been running with Justin? He nodded in Solomon’s direction, then edged across the room to Justin’s side. “How is she?” Gordon asked. Justin stared into space, as if he were trapped in another dimension. A muscle in his jaw twitched rhythmically. He seemed agitated, which was understandable, but it seemed to be more than concern for Megan. “Justin?” Gordon said. “Are you okay?” The man blinked and clawed his fingers through his hair. “What?” He shook his head, as if to clear it. “Oh, yeah. No problem.”

“plain blue sedan drove by. Did an unmarked car mean things were better or worse? The regular cop car parked out front had left about an hour ago. Guess we’ve been demoted from stakeout to drive-by surveillance. Rubbing his eyes, he climbed into bed. Hands folded under his head, he lay on his back and stared at the ceiling. How had he ended up in the middle of this mess? Easy answer. To spare his grandparents. From the other room, he heard the rustling of sheets, a faint whimper.”

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”

Back from a week in Quebec City. Instead of reading, I ended up working on edits and revisions for my next release, Nowhere to Hide.
My Free Read, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PAGE is now available from Cerridwen Press.
http://www.jasminejade.com/pm-7442-22...
Finding the perfect hero and heroine for a romance novel can turn a writer’s hair gray—that’s why I advertise for them. Interviewing characters can be exhausting, and getting them to stick to the plot?
Well, it doesn’t always work that way. And then you find out they’re talking about you behind your back…
Meet Randy and Sarah, the hero and heroine of FINDING SARAH and HIDDEN FIRE, in a funny and illuminating look at what goes on behind the scenes
of the romance writing process.

Hi, Paige - I love mysteries, although the ones I write have a romantic twist to them. I hope you'll check them out.

When Danger Calls Reviewed at Armchair Interviews.
When Danger Calls is a great read, especially for the adventurer with a romantic heart. The gauntlet of emotions will leave you breathless. I was hooked from the first and page, closing the book was not an option. A 5-star action-packed work of excellent fiction. ... Diane

Hi, Nancy -- funny how the Internet has created verbs. First "Google" and now "Friend." Thanks for adding me to your Goodreads list.

Thanks for the add, Dianne - I saw you were reading Gabaldon's books. I really enjoyed them. I think Outlander was one of the reasons I got into reading romance.
