Six Sentence Sunday - Jess and Kyle's first meeting


Another six-sentence excerpt from my 2011 release of 'His Leading Lady' with the first meeting between Jess and Kyle. This is a continuation from last week when Jess told Kyle she had no idea where her sister Lora was.

Kyle walked towards the door, then turned.  “If she contacts you, remind her that if she isn’t at the television interview on Friday, her contract will be terminated.  That will blacklist her at every West End theatre.”

Jess stared at him and knew he meant it, but she kept her voice steady. “I’m sure she realises that, and I’m sure she’ll be there.”

“I can only hope so."

Thanks to all who've been following these excerpts. There'll be the final excerpt from this first meeting next week!

'His Leading Lady' available as e-book and paperback from www.whiskeycreekpress.com or from Amazon http://amzn.to/opp1ky

    He's kind of... snotty, isn't he? Love his intensity though. It comes right through the screen. Great six :)

    LOL @ snotty, mirriam! He likes to be in control of a situation, but in this case, things seem to be out of his control!

    Kyle is a walking billboard for mean boss. Hope he gets his comeuppance.

    Wow. As if it's not stressful enough for your sister to be missing. Fab six!

    He's not really as mean as he sounds, Gem - just frustrated at present!
    Thanks, Sarah - they're both stressed which is why the sparks flew!

    Let's hope so - or not, for both their sakes. :) Fun six, Paula.

    I love it too, Stephanie, and soon I'll be showing the cover of my next release (in February). I've seen the draft version and it's stunning! I'm even more thrilled with it than I was with His Leading Lady.

    I wonder what's up with Lora... Definitely trouble coming on his coattails! :)

    Thanks for all your comments.

    Cate - it'll get worse before it gets better LOL!

    Zee - Lora's whereabouts are going to remain a mystery for quite some time.

    Eleri - lots of tensions still to come between them!

    Thanks, Gemma and Gayle
