The Day Ginger Snapped part 31

***Remember to buy your own copy of The Day Ginger Snapped!***

Of course, I fell asleep. I didn’t mean to, but I just had to rest my eyes for a moment. Then the bed was just so comfortable that I figured I would lie down for five minutes. The next thing I know I’m looking at the clock and it’s 7AM

I quickly got up, put on my shoes, gathered my things and prepared to get out while the getting was good. After listening at the door and not hearing anything, I slowly opened it and walked out into the living room.

Ryan was no where to be seen so I headed right for the door. I had my hand on the doorknob and was ready to make my escape when I heard a voice behind me.

“I would never hurt you.” It was Ryan and he sounded child like and hurt that I would be afraid of him.

Without turning around or removing my hand from the doorknob I lowered my head as I said, “I know.”

I waited for Ryan to say something else or to move toward me, but he didn’t. So, I turned to face him. “I’ll never hurt you either. Please be careful because I don’t want to hear about you or anything happening to you on the news.”

Ryan still didn’t say anything or make any moves toward me, so I turned around, opened the door and walked out. I got turned around once I got into the yard and couldn’t figure out how to get through the gas station and back out to my car. After wandering around for five minutes or so I was finally sitting in the rental with the windows rolled up and the doors locked.

I’m not positive, but I think I saw Ryan watching me through the gas station window as I drove off.

You guys are the best!

Well, I wasn't excited this morning when the phone rang at 9:30 and woke me up. I know 9:30 doesn't sound bad, but I was still awake at 2 AM so I wasn't ready to get up yet. I really wasn't excited when I answered the phone and learned it was a computer generated call from the library letting me know a book I requested was waiting for me.

UGH!!! I know you're holding a book for me! I got that same message yesterday! Please, can I finish reading the book I've already got? I was up until 2 AM reading it.

By the way, Electric Barracuda by Tim Dorsey is a really good book.

My day got better when I went online and saw that people has actually ordered copies of my book. I know it was you guys! You're the best! I should probably wait for you to get your copies, but I'm not. I'm going to go ahead and tell you that you're mentioned in the dedication because you really are the best!!!

I spent most of the afternoon lying around the house and looking at all the things that I should have been cleaning or doing. Don't judge! I'm on vacation, I'll clean tomorrow. lol!

For dinner, I met the girls at The Cheesecake Factory. YUMMY!!! Yes, I'm having cheesecake for breakfast in the morning. lol!

Now, I'm going to finish my book and go to bed. That way I can wake up eat more cheesecake and go to the library to pick up my next book.

Life on vacation is awesome!!!

OK people, no more waiting for Friday to read the unedited version of The Day Ginger Snapped! Now you can purchase your very own copy!

Aren't you excited?!?!

One of the prizes for completing NaNoWriMo is getting a free proof copy of your novel. Well, that prize was about to expire so I had to order it or never see my work in book form. By the time you go through everything you need to do in order to get your proof copy, it's ready to sell to anyone and everyone. So, I figured, why not?! Let's see if someone, besides my mother, orders a copy. lol!

There are a few changes in the book form and the version you've been reading. Plus, OCG read and edited it for me. (He got a big kick out of the character I named after him.)

Don't you want your own copy? Don't you want to buy a book and help a poor school teacher who won't see another paycheck until the end of August?


Happy Reading!

Life is good!
