Six Sentence Sunday

Another six sentences from my new novel, 'Changing the Future' which was released last month.

After a short, curt conversation with Paul, Lisa returns to her office.

Why was she allowing him to have this effect on her? Their relationship was over; everything had ended the day she came back from Berlin. She shuddered, remembering the accusations, the anger, and then the agonising pain.

Hardly surprising that he’d said she wouldn’t want to reminisce about ‘old times’. She didn’t even want to be reminded, let alone talk about what had happened.

It was bad enough to realise the very nearness of him had sent tremors quivering through her, just as it always had.


Blurb: Lisa Marshall is stunned when celebrated volcanologist Paul Hamilton comes back into her life at the college where she now teaches. Despite their acrimonious break-up several years earlier, they soon realise the magnetic attraction between them is stronger than ever. However, the past is still part of the present, not least when Paul discovers Lisa has a young son. They can’t change that past, but will it take a volcanic eruption to help them change the future?




'Changing the Future' is available at $3.99 on Amazon

  6. Woot!! Congratulations, Paula!

    I love how you layer in the backstory here, dropping a little more of "what happened" between them each time.

    Great six!!

  7. Perhaps a fresh start is best...but I'm sure the chemistry has continued to age like a fine wine.

  10. If he's still affecting her that, it's probably not over. Is that good or bad remains to be seen. Great, emotional six.

  13. I feel so bad for her. It's a shame we can't control our emotions no matter how hard we try. Fabulous six. :)

  14. Thank you all, first for your congrats about my Amazon placing, and second for all your astute comments about Lisa's inner conflict. Her head is telling her one things, but she can't ignore her heart and emotions, much as she wants to!

  19. Was it mental or physical pain?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Congrats on the #1 and #2! Poor Lisa. Confronting a painful past with someone is hard enough, but to still have feelings despite denying them? Yeah... Great six!

  21. The more I learn about these two, the more interesting their back story becomes. It sounds like sorting through the emotional baggage will take some time and make for some very interesting reading.

  22. Thanks, Kate!

    Emotional pain, Sue! All is revealed - eventually!

    Thanks, Silver. She doesn't want to admit she still has feelings for him!

    You're right, Jess - they have a long way to go to sort out the part (and then find the way to change the future!)

  23. Sounds like she still has it bad. Great six, Paula. And congratulations on your other two contemporaries! That's so great. :)

  24. Doesn't a child always complicate something you'd rather leave in the past? Poor Lisa.
