My new book arrives on June 12!
This Sarah adventure is one to make you smile.
Available in eBook or print.
This is a scene from
Chapter One. Sarah is always lost. She arrives atop a hotel in downtown
Houston. She is trying to find her assignment, Carolyn Baker who lives in Sugar
Land.
Sarah chose a green paisley dress, panty hose, and low heeled black orthopedic shoes. Okay—that should do it. After dropping from the roof, she surfaced inside the building. In the dimly lit area, the space appeared quite small.
Oops! She’d meant to appear on the street. Oh well. She was
inside now. What location had she bopped into?
Judging from a dress hanging on a rack, she decided she must’ve
relocated to some kind of interior closet. Wonder what might be behind the
wooden door. She cautiously opened the access and ventured out.
“Hey! How did you get in there?” A man yelled at Sarah as he
suddenly sat up in a bed.
A woman pulled a sheet up under her chin. “Who is that, Norman?”
“I have no idea.” The man threw a protective arm over the female
lying beside him. “Lady, who are you, and what are you doing in our hotel
room?”
Merciful heavens! What had she done? Think fast, Sarah. Make your voice sound crackly and old.
“Well, hello, young fella.” Sarah pushed the glasses higher on
her nose. “The hotel sent me in to help a couple make a love connection. Do you
need any advice? I’m a psychologist.”
“No, my wife and I are very happy—just trying to sleep late.
Would you get out of our room, please?”
“Oh sure. Don’t bother showing me to the door. I’ll see myself
out. Guess they gave me the wrong room. I counsel people who have problems, but
ya’ll look blissfully married. Tootle-loo.” Sarah waved, opened the closet door
and disappeared from view. She backed against the wall with her heart pounding
and gulping air as if she’d run a marathon.
