So, I've been playing with RIPPLE lately, my story about a Siren who kills the first boy she's ever loved. I was thinking about doing a prologue, so I wrote it, but then decided I liked the original (chapter 1) beginning better.

So here's the prologue, in it's entireity, that sets up the book. The book itself picks up two years AFTER this prologue.

 

( They don't know what I do after midnight.....  )

I received my revision notes for DRIVEN yesterday, so now I'm getting back to work on that....

Current Favorite lines from RIPPLE:

Instead of hating me like everyone else, he looked like he wanted to hug me. He looked like he was about to step forward and brush away the tear that had rolled down my cheek.

And I wanted to let him.

I grind my teeth and pick up the fastest walk I can manage as I head out the cemetery, my thoughts swimming with Troy.

He’s going to be trouble.
