I’m editing Runaway and got to this part and decided to share a little snippet.  This is in Rio with Evangeline in the back seat of a cab and Cecil in the front. After she thought they were going to have sex.

They rode back to the Copacabana in silence, he in the front seat, she in the back. As she sat there, mad that he’d gotten her worked up for nothing, she stared at the back of his head, wishing for the Glock. She noticed a small mole on the back of his neck and thought it would make a nice target. She giggled.

Cecil looked over his shoulder, “Forgive me?”

The cabbie said, “ah. A lover’s spat?”

Van snorted, “Not hardly. And, Cecil, no, I haven’t forgiven you. I was back here deciding where to put the bullet in the back of your head.”

The cabbie roared in laughter, “Sir, I envy you. A woman with such passion, ah. Yes. I envy you.”

Had to go today for the real job.  I got lots of plotting done for the rest of Runaway (Currently on Ch 11).  The last chapter is almost fully formed in my head.  Came back and took some notes. I usually jot some in the car while driving (Yeah. I know. Not a good idea).  But driving was a tricky business this time.  The torrential rain this morning was insane and this afternoon the speeders were insane.  Insanity was the theme of the day. 

I’m excited about the last chapter. Its gonna be cute. 

The weird thing about how I write is that I finish several chapters and then the ending comes to me and I feel compelled to get that down.  Then I go back and fill in the other chapters between where I left off and the end.  I’ve written three novellas and three other manuscripts (I’m on my fourth) and I’ve had this happen every time except on one.  Strange. But it seems to work for me.

Can  you guess where my hero and heroine are now? 

My group blog, http://southernsizzleromance.wordpress.com/  is kicking off a great great month of guests.  We have our biannual conference in March on Pensacola Beach and have several editors and agents coming.  Some of them have been kind enough to agree to answer some questions on our blog.  Kind of a countdown to Conference, if you will.

We also have some writer friends that have agreed to guest blog as well.  Cat Johnson is one for next week and Amber Williams will be here the week after that.  They will each be talking about their new releases.  Lots of reasons to visit the sizzlers’ blog in the next few weeks.
