Here’s the last excerpt from my new book Wreck of the Nebula Dream, science fiction with romantic elements, available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Thanks to everyone on the Six Sentence Sunday hop for being so wonderful & supportive!
The situation: Nick Jameson, Sectors Special Forces, has unexpectedly wound up traveling to his next assignment via a new luxury liner. The ship has problems early in the voyage but then suffers a catastrophe of Titanic proportions. The excerpt comes after Nick and Mara and their party have been through a lot (no spoilers so I can’t explain why Nick’s voice is raspy but trust me, the man has endured a harsh ordeal)… but still aren’t safely off the ship.
“This is one weird damn voyage,” Nick said, his voice raspy from the hours of tortured agony.
“I certainly never had any other business trip like it, ” Mara agreed, with a small smile. “Even if we don’t make it out of here, I’m not sorry I took this journey with you.”
He gazed at her, a matching smile spreading itself across his face. Just looking at this woman makes me happy – I don’t care if that sounds hokey. “Neither am I, lady, neither am I.”

I like him soooo damnn much. 🙂
He reminds me of a sexy, adventurous spirit. The ‘tortured agony’ description gives us a glimpse as to what he’s endured and/or about to endure. Good six!!
Thanks! He’s been thru some *stuff* for sure but I didn’t want to do spoilers 🙂
aaaw, he’s a sweetie!
Thanks, Jennifer & Angela! I’m pretty darn fond of Nick too LOL!
What a great moment between them. 🙂 I’ve been enjoying this each week, and this isn’t a subgenre I usually read. Great job!
Oh, thank you so much! Always nice to hear! I really have to stop myself from posting excerpts out of this book or else why did I publish it, you know? I will have published the whole novel in 6 sentence bites eventually 🙂 LOL! But I SO enjoy sharing the characters every week….
What a sweet seen…I could feel the tenderness 🙂
What a nice moment between the two characters, like being the fly on the wall, watching as these two fall in love. Great six!
it’s good to see a nice guy who doesn’t necessarily finish last.
Aw, very nice. I like your Nick. 🙂
There’s a sweet charm about him that’s kind of irresistible. Well done!
That was really sweet. I like the way he thinks. Great six.
Aw, what a sweetheart. I like him.
I really love what he says here. Utterly heartwarming!
Thanks everyone, I tried to pick a scene that gave a little closure to these six sentence excerpts I’ve been running from WRECK, as far as Nick & Mara, although I PROMISE you there’s a lot more action to come in the novel itself, after this scene. 🙂 I so appreciate the comments!
He’s so sweet! I hope they get out all right. Even from these six he seems like a great guy. Great job!
Thank you!
Awww…so sweet 🙂 Can I have him? Great 6!
