Welcome
to Saturday Spankings! I love that we can share news about our writing here and
I do have something to share – it’s almost here! The forth book, Cassie’s
River Living, will be out on September 3rd. I received the cover just a few days
ago and I truly love it. It seems to capture the peace and tranquility Tom is
always dreaming of, but peace and tranquility are sometime hard to find when
Cassie and Sue get together.
This
snippet takes place later in the day from by last snippet. On one of their regular walks
the girls explore a house under construction and manage to become stuck in a
room of the house, leaving Willow to whine anxiously at the door.
Sue finally ordered, “Would you just get
on the phone and call somebody to get us out of here?”
I definitely wanted to keep the boys out
of this, maybe I could get Kate or Allie. I reached for my phone when it hit
me, “Oh dear…”
“What?” asked Sue, instantly alert, “you
told me you had your phone.”
“I do,” I assured her. “It’s just that…
well … ummm… It’s in Willow’s backpack.”
“It’s where?”
“I put it in the backpack that I put on
Willow – she like to wear it so I always put my phone, ID and a bottle of water
in there.”
“The stupid dog has the phone?” Sue
snapped.
“She’s not stupid!” I roared.
“Fine,” Sue nearly hissed. “The dog is
brilliant. So why don’t you shout our there to old Lassie that she needs to get
on the phone and let somebody know that Timmy fell in the damn well!”
* I've really been battling with blogger this morning. I had to delete and repost everything and I lost the comments I had - I hate that. I'm just hoping this works.
Oh boy! I am sorry to say I cans see this happening very easily!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how they manage to escape! Wait I can read it in the book! Yay!
I think you'll like this one Minelle!
DeleteIt sounds like Sue is going to have a very sore bottom if she doesn't watch that tone of hers...
ReplyDeleteI think both are going to have sore bottoms before this is all over.
DeleteCassie and Sue always seem to be together when these things happen. I'm looking forward to reading the new book! Amyee
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add I love the cover of the new book.
DeleteThanks, I love the cover too! Cassie would tell you it's usually Sue's fault when she gets in trouble. I doubt Sue would agree.
DeleteI love all their misadventures!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they certainly have enough of them

ReplyDeleteI love the humour in this PK and the cover. I would love to walk along that wharf and just sit there with a glass of wine. Great snippet :)
Constance,
DeleteI agree! It's like the cover just draws you in.

ReplyDeleteLove the cover, PK ... and loved that last line!! Congrats on this coming out soon! :)
Shelby,
DeleteSue's a hoot. And thanks, I love the cover too.
I love that the dog is wearing a back pack! I think Sue and Cassie are a little like Lucy and Ethel :)
ReplyDeleteCasey,
DeleteThey really can be - but they would deny it. Willow looks great with her pack on.
Funny snippet, PK. Made me laugh at loud. "What, did Timmy fall down the well, Lassie?" So cute. I can just imagine a dog wearing a back pack.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn, I just wonder if readers under thirty will say Lassie, Timmy - who are they?
DeleteFunny that she let's the dog carry the phone. Cute.
ReplyDeleteCara,
DeleteCassie pets and pampers Willow and Willow seems to love wearing her pack. And usually they are right together. Sadly not this time.
Hi PK, nice snippet, lovely covers all your books have, am looking forward to reading this one
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Thanks Jan - I really like this one, I hope you do.
Deletelove the references to Lassie and Timmy in the well, brought a smile to my face. somehow I don't think they'll be keeping this mishap secret.
ReplyDeletePoor Cassie, keeping her mishaps secret and never been something she seems to be able to do.
DeleteLove the cover PK, beautiful! Oh boy, another fine pickle the girls have got themselves in!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Roz
Thanks Roz, I love the cover too! They are always getting into something.
DeleteI love these two. They are so funny. I think they'll both be sorry as soon as someone figures out they are in the well!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Megan, poor girls - they didn't mean to do anything wrong. Things just seem to happen.
DeletePK,
ReplyDeleteSo excited for the next Cassie book. Yours are simply the best.
Meredith
I'm so glad you like them, Cassie is honestly one of my best friends.
