Hiya, peeps! I’m high on cold meds and cough syrup, but I’m baaaaack! You may have noticed a few changes to my website. It’s undergoing a major facelift, which should be complete by next week, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here’s a new snippet from Learning to Love!
Continuing from where we left off…
She smiled as she bit into her wrap, chewing as quickly as she could before her lunchtime supervision in the gym started. “So, what’s his story?” she asked. “The student teacher.”
“Told me he graduated from Columbia and worked at some big ad agency. Can’t believe he quit to become a teacher.”
“Our lives are so glamorous. Everybody thinks so.”
He snorted as he poured dressing over his salad. “Gotta be a bullshit story. Probably got fired for screwing his secretary.”
Here’s the blurb:
Rebecca Ledgerwood is a physical education teacher who’s ready to invest some sweat equity into a lasting romance. On a whim, she has her palm read before summer vacation ends, and she’s told she’s an old soul who’ll find happiness with a younger man.
William Whitney leaves an unfulfilling career to pursue teaching and gets placed at Rebecca’s school for his physical education practicum. He’s desperate to make a difference, convinced that the choices he made in the past contributed to his younger sister’s death. Kendal High School is nothing like the prep school he attended as a teenager, but he’s determined to make the most of his time there, especially if it makes Rebecca notice him.
Though they come from vastly different backgrounds, there’s an undeniable chemistry that sparks between the two. They resist, as they must, until his practicum ends, but when he’s offered a teaching position at his former prep school, will he take the easy way out, or fight for what’s right in front of him?
Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors!
Well, I had a blast and a half on my trip to North Carolina to visit my best gal-pals, and I had a wicked-good time hanging with my dad and some of the extended family when I got back, and we both gobbled up my brother’s kiddos for a couple days…and that’s why we’re both now sick and dying from the plague. But, heck, it was worth it! 🙂 Hope you’re all enjoying your summer! See you next week! xo

Sounds so believable. I’ve heard similar things in the very non-fictional world in which I dwell.
Okay, sometimes it seems like it has to be fictional. 😉
I like the look of this blog. Is this the new one, or are you creating a totally new site?
Haha, I’m sure it COULD be real! 😀 This is the new site, yes, but only the bare bones of it. The big unveiling should be happening in the very near future!
Co-workers always have to gossip about the new hires, don;t they? Very believable and realistic conversation, as always with your stories. I like the new website – the old one took FOREVER to load on my browser but I love your snippets so I always waited it out. Your writing is worth a bit of a wait! Enjoyed this snippet and best wishes on the continuing update to the site.
Aww, I’m sorry the old website gave you troubles. I’m all the more grateful for your continued readership despite that! Thanks so much, Veronica! 🙂
I love that they’re dissecting him already! Maybe you should make one of them a bio teacher! 😉
I have such a clear image in my mind now thanks to someone. 😉
Loving the look of the website so far. The homepage is really pretty. Can’t wait to see it when it is all complete. Those gal-pals sound amazing. Feel better soon.
Thank you! Should be fully operational by some point this week. Yep, those ladies are a pretty special bunch! 🙂
The feel of the new website suits your writing very well!
Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂 Thanks, Ed!
Great co-worker gossip session. So much juicy speculation! Love the new site, Julie!
😀 Thank you, Nancy! I can’t wait to show off the site when it’s fully updated. Stay tuned!
The new website is bee-you-ti-ful!!! Good job, JEJ! It’s almost as sparkly as your shoes!
Loved her “Our lives are so glamorous. Everybody thinks so.” Hee.
The twins use their mom as a walking napkin/tissue. She says she’s just a gross pile of germs by the end of the day. Even after receiving several full-face sneezes over the weekend, we seem to have avoided the plague thus far. Hope you feel better soon!
