For this year’s A to Z, I will be doing a collection of flash fiction featuring Steven, the MC from Blackbird, from right before he came to Newstead through his first year there.
R is for Reactions
His eyes narrowed when he saw my face. “You’re
tired,” he said, like that was my excuse.
He got to his feet and I followed his lead.
Guess that’s all the intro I’ll be getting. I began to wonder if I would’ve gotten more if I reacted the way he
wanted.
We left his office, then the office building in
silence. No one was walking outside that time.
I am giving out review copies of Blackbird through Story Cartel, in exchange for Amazon Reviews (And blog reviews would be great, too) before it’s official release date on May 1st. You can get your copy here Also, Story Cartel is doing a big giveaway of its own this month, so signing up for a review of any book featured there puts your name in that pot.
