7/3/2015 9 Comments Fourteen Line FridayWelcome to Fourteen Line Friday! Share fourteen lines you like better than any others. The rules: 1. In the comments section post fourteen lines from a current work in progress, a new release, a soon-to-be-released, or a novel that you published ages ago. All I ask is that you try to keep it as close to fourteen sentences as possible. 2. Post those buy links! If a reader loves your lines we want them to be able to find your book! 3. This is for clean/sweet/inspirational reads only. I like having a family friendly blog. :) Now to my own lines. This week they come from All I Have, a sweet contemporary romance. Get at Amazon for only 99 cents! Nicholas watched a young woman descend the porch steps. She wore baggy jeans and a loose fitting T-shirt. Her black hair was swept back into a long pony tail. Although her face was clean of make-up, she was exceptionally pretty. The only jewelry he could see was a necklace in the shape of a locket. Her lips twitched upwards in a smile as she shot a hand toward his father. Jake said, "Shane, you remember my daughter, Ellie. She just graduated from college and has decided to stay with us until she finds a job." "Pleased to see you again, Ellie." Shane extended his hand. "It's a pleasure seeing you again, too." She shook his hand and turned her gaze on Nicholas and he noted the color of her eyes. They were like shiny emeralds. "Nice to meet you, too." Nicholas suddenly felt like an awkward schoolboy. Now share your own excerpts. I can't wait to read them!

“Miss Giles, will you marry me? I have loved you even before we started our mock flirting, but I didn’t think you loved me back, so I never said anything. Then I got the kids and knew nobody in their right mind would really want to marry me, except out of pity. I don’t have a ring for you right now, but I’ll go buy one as soon as you say yes.”

I hope you don't mind that there are slightly more than 14 lines here because several of them are only 1 or 2 words long. This is my favorite scene from my historical fiction/fantasy, The Stone of Kings:

"Good afternoon, Ms. Adams. And I'm Ms. Harris, and the principal at West Seattle. I'm sorry to make you wait." She brushed aside Dani's reassurances that it didn't matter and continued in that crisp tone of voice. "I asked them to have you stop and talk to me so we could be sure we had the same…goals...in mind. Please step into my office."

Messed that up. That was from my scifi novel, A Chronetic Memory. And I didn't see the part about "lines that you like better than any other." I guess I'll post those next week.
