Blurb
Two friends...
Blood sisters till the end...
Until they're not.
One cold night in a boarding school dorm, two fourteen-year-old girls make
a blood sister pact. Friends forever. As young schoolgirls, they're determined
to find true love, learning the hits and misses along the way. As graduation
nears, the girls have different outlooks for the future. Lucinda longs for
adventure. Anna chooses city life and marriage. Finding their way back together,
the girls head west for an experience of a lifetime until a handsome cowboy
bursts into their lives, changing the course of their friendship forever.
Excerpt
Anna shook her head. “I’m glad it’s
over.” She slowly closed her eyes and took the deepest breath possible. “But
I’m proud of myself. I hate the sight of blood, but it was worth it.” She
lifted her left hand to examine the cut. Blood trailed down her finger.
Lucinda also raised her left hand.
Her middle finger dripped with blood. “Then let’s get started.” She lit a tall
taper candle on the table. The flame flickered slightly giving the darkened
room a mystical glow. “On this day of January the twenty-fourth …” She stretched
out her arm toward Anna. “I, Lucinda Ann Walker, being of sound mind and body,
make you my blood sister.”
Anna giggled. “You make it sound so
formal.” She could tell Lucinda fought back a smile, but her face stayed
solemn. “Alright, then.” Anna cleared her throat. “I, Anna Grace Douglass, also
being of sound mind and body, make you my blood sister in the year of our Lord,
1923.”
They positioned their hands
together, fingertip-to-fingertip, mixing the blood. Anna’s finger throbbed with
pain, but she felt happy. She was thrilled she decided to come to this very
exclusive private boarding school on scholarship. When she met her roommate she
never dreamed they’d become best friends. Lucinda’s personality was bigger than
life, quite the opposite of Anna. Now five months later, they were a sorority
of two.

ReplyDeleteThanks for having me! Readers, Lucinda and Anna head to the Grand Canyon to become Harvey Girls. What's your favorite place out west?
ReplyDeleteHello Nancy! Great to have you here. I haven't been to see the Grand Canyon (yet) but I have been to California and more than once been skiing in the Rockies (Utah, Colorado and Wyoming). Unfortunately, trips to the US have become quite expensve with high air fares (especially when you have to travel during the school holidays).
