Setup for this snippet: WIP from Heart and Soul. This is a snippet from my new ‘rock star romance’ that I’m working on. It’s in the very early stages. This is still Chapter One. Last week, a woman walks into the coffeehouse. Maverick first thought is that she looks familiar.
***
His gaze slid down to what she was wearing – black jacket over a white t-shirt and blue jeans that were molded to her curves. His gaze slid to her face again. “Five foot two… eyes of blue,” he murmured. The song just popped into his head for some odd reason and he cleared his throat.
“Did you say somethin’?” she asked as she reached the bar.
“You said you needed to speak with the owner,” he voiced instead of answering her question.
“Yes, Is that you?”
“Maverick Strummer,” he told her as he held out his hand, which she gripped firmly, her small hand feeling comfortable in his palm.
“Rowan Beckett. I’m here about the job and the apartment.”

Love to hear your feed back. 🙂
About Heart and Soul…
80s rock star, Haley Rose went missing without a trace on October 31 1988 and was eventually presumed dead. Three decades later, a thirty-year old woman, Rowan Beckett recalls things only Haley Rose would know and she can belt out songs in the same fashion as the missing 80s star. However, Rowan couldn’t be the missing rock star since the woman would now be in her fifties. Could Haley Rose have came back reincarnated as Rowan Beckett?

Aurora,
Thanks.
As always the writing is very smooth and I’m always startled when the snippet ends because I’ve become instantly immersed in your story. Great excerpt!
Veronica,
Thanks for the wonderful compliment.
I have a feeling she’s about to have a job and a place to stay! Can’t wait to read what comes next.
Christina,
You may be correct. 🙂
She’s clearly made an impression here, right from the start!
Botanist,
You could say that.
I like his reaction too! 😀
Amy,
So glad you did.
Karen, you bring magic to your stories. I didn’t sign in because I broke my hip bone.
Charmaine,
Thanks so much for stopping by.
So sorry to hear about your hip. I hope you feel better soon.
Very interesting. Can’t wait to read more.
Diane,
Thank you. So glad you’re intrigued.
Maverick Strummer . . . that sounds so much like a pseudonym for his music.
You think? lol This story is in the very early stages. Not sure he’s even keeping that name. Might have to at least change his last name.
Joe Strummer stuck with me since the Clash was one of my favorite bands when I was a teen. 🙂
Nice, careful revelation of their future here….
Eden,
Thank you.
Given his reaction, I bet he’ll give her that job and apartment!
In interesting beginning. Looking forward to more.
That’s quite a connection–at least on his side. Wonder what she thinks of him?
Really enjoyed the snippet and wanted to go on reading!
Great snippet. I love the premise. Can’t wait for more. 🙂 🙂
