Where There's Will - There's A Way: Will's Way coming January 7
From
romance author Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy……
2014 has arrived with the usual fanfare but it’s
time to settle into the ordinary routines of life. My first release this year is just three days
away, on January 7th. Look
for Will’s Way on both Amazon.com and
Barnes and Noble.com. Readers can check my
Facebook page or author page or Amazon page for details on the 7th. Links to all the above plus my blogs will be
at the end of this post.
I’m excited about this release because it marks
something brand new for me – my first plunge into the world of self-publishing. Before anyone asks, yes, I plan to continue
with publishers as well but as anyone in the business is aware, this is
volatile time in publishing. And
sometimes something new can be the key to bigger, brighter things.
Here’s the cover from Toby by Design. If you haven’t seen any of Toby’s other work,
trust me – you will. He’s one of the
hottest, most talented cover artists coming up today and he offers other design
work as well.
And to compliment the cover, here’s the blurb:
When Marine
Will Nichols returned from Afghanistan with some serious scars, he retreated
from almost everything and everyone. His
late night radio talk show is the one place no one can judge him by his
appearance but he lives lonely. One of
his regular callers, however, Samantha Callahan, manages to catch both his
fancy and affection. No matter how he
feels, though, he refuses to meet her because he fears she’ll reject him. But stubborn Samantha doesn’t give up easily
and cares enough to take a chance because where there’s Will, there’s a way.
Oh, and how about a little sneak peek into the story…..from Will’s Way…
As the second hand of the studio
clock swept toward midnight, Taylor rose and Will took his seat. He cued his signature song, the classic
version of Midnight Special by Credence
Clearwater Revival, and opened the mic to give the top of the hour station
ID. “Its twelve midnight,” he intoned.
“The witching hour, children, and you’re listening to radio station…”
Will gave the call letters and
played the song. As soon as CCR’s tune
faded, he went live. “Good night, folks, and welcome to The Midnight
Special. I’m going to play a little
music, talk until my tongue bleeds, and take your calls. Let’s get things started with Grace Potter
and the Nocturnals.”
Taylor waved as he departed, leaving
Will alone in the studios. The first
three callers were mundane. One nattered
about how full and lovely the moon had been earlier. Another wondered if anyone had a good
homemade bread recipe to share and the other yapped about his recent
ghost-hunting experience. When the
incoming lines didn’t light back up immediately, Will played several more songs
before she called. Samantha.
“Go ahead, you’re on the air. Talk
to me, honey.”
Her voice poured into his headphones
with power and glory. Samantha ranked
among his most frequent callers and although he’d never admitted it, she held
his top favorite listener position. Will
liked her voice, always the perfect combination of hot, sweet, and creamy in a
way that reminded him of Irish coffee. She talked about happy things with
wonder and appreciation, loved music and books, talked about beautiful sunrises
and sometimes quoted poetry. He’d often
wondered what she looked like and tried to imagine her face. He figured with a voice and outlook like
hers, she must be attractive. If he
wasn’t disfigured, he would’ve tried to meet her, maybe even date her. Hell, he’d even dreamed of having a
relationship with Samantha or would have, once but it was out of his reach
now. Since his appearance rivaled The
Phantom of the Opera’s for total horror, Will’d never tried to find out her
full name or anything about her. It’d be
pointless and probably hurtful to pursue Samantha. He’d rather never try than be rejected. He savored their conversations, though, the
closest thing to personal interaction he had in his life, now.
Tonight, however, her tone lacked
its’ usual lilt. “Hi, Will, this is Samantha.”
“Hey, Samantha” he said with true
pleasure. Her nightly calls were the one
thing left in life he could anticipate with delight. “So, tell me what’s
happening in your corner of the world?”
Her hesitant reply stunned him.
“Today turned out to be one of the worst days of my life.”
