Heart and Soul is finally finished! Now edits.
This is in Maverick’s POV.
This is going to be the last snippet for the story. I finally finished it and am working on edits. 🙂 Enjoy!
This Week’s Snippet Below.
***
“Did you see…” He let the words trail off when he realized he was standing by himself, and the others in the group had ventured away to investigate other areas of the park.
He shook his head and chuckled. He most likely spotted someone from the tour going off on their own. This made him pause. He didn’t think anyone would just wander off by themselves, but this woman had either vanished, or she deliberately headed into the foliage where there were no lights placed, and he didn’t remember her holding a flashlight. Yet she kind of glowed. That was it. That was why she seemed out of place. She shimmered. “Ghost,” he murmured and startled himself for even voicing it.

About Heart and Soul…
80s rock star, Haley Rose and her boyfriend went missing without a trace on October 31, 1988 and were eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, thirty-year-old, Rowan Beckett, recalls things only Haley Rose would know, and she can belt out songs in the same unique fashion. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since Haley would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have come back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett? Or is Rowan as delusional as her family suspects?
Intriguing! Will he voice it louder, or continue to question himself?
Jessica,
You’ll have to wait and see. 🙂
Interesting snippet with great description, and the self doubt so well portrayed.
Iris,
I’m so glad it rang true.
You know how to finish a story. Outstanding, my friend.
Charmaine,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the tale.
We do that–try to rationalize how something unexplainable does make sense (even when it shoudn’t). I think you did a great job going his thoughts while he processed the vision. 🙂
Yes, we do.
This snippet is well done, I like how he’s trying to be so logical then the realization that she shimmered finally brings him to the truth.
Brittany,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Ooh, definitely a ghost! I’m glad he’s open to the possibility. I can’t wait to read the entire story so please keep us posted when it’s released! Great snippet…
Veronica,
I’m so glad you’re intrigued to read the full tale! Yes, I’ll keep you posted.
Well, at least he’s not terrified of the idea that he saw a ghost. That’s a good sign.
Tweeted.
He’s intrigued. Thanks for tweeting!
Intriguing! Good luck with the edits.
Thank you.
Nice! I like that he tried to rationalize it but finally came to the only conclusion. Congrats on finishing. May the edits be in your favor!
Nancy,
Thank you
And I bet I can figure out whose ghost it is! Hailley’s!
Ed,
Maybe.
I love it! I liked how he tried to talk himself out of it being ghost to then come to the reality that this woman is in fact a ghost!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed the snippet.
Oh, wow, if I’d seen a ghost I’d be running to find the other people. I love the sound of this story.
Elaine,
Thank you.
haha, that’s exactly what he wanted I suppose. Too bad he is the only one who saw her.
Congrats on finishing the story. Good luck on the edits. I like his bewilderment and trying to find an explanation. I’m glad he doesn’t just think “ghost” at once. More realistic this way.
Interesting snippet and exciting synopsis. Congrats on completing your work. It is an exciting time. As for edits, you may not like to hear this, but you should separate yourself from the book for a bit. Take a month off to clear your head. If you have another work in mind begin it, do other work, just put this on the shelf for 30 days. Then come back to it and dive back in. You will be more relaxed and have better judgment with your edits. You will thank yourself in the end. 🙂
