Leath's Legacy: Hope of allaying their guilt drives them in a collision course
Excerpt From
Leath’s Legacy:
“What do you want?” he
demanded. “Name your price and I’ll match it.”
Her eyes boggled and her
eyebrows rose. Was he serious? Yes, it appeared he was, from the way he waved
an agitated arm around.
“Come on. Name it,” he snapped.
“Everyone has their price. What’s yours?” His Machiavellian smirk conveyed his
certainty.
Frowning, Leath stared up at
him. “You mean if we asked for, what, ten million dollars, you’d give it to
us?” She shook her head. “You’re crazy.”
She didn’t believe for a moment
he’d seriously consider that sort of amount and gasped when he replied almost
immediately.
“That’s your price, ten
million?”
“No, Mr. Buchanan, that’s not
our price!” Leath feared he might reach for his cheque book. “That was just a
stupid figure plucked out of the air. We’ve already given you our answer,
twice.”
Seeing a very slight slump in
his shoulders and something odd in his expression, Leath softened the blow.
“I’m sorry if you’re disappointed.” She even smiled up at him, “but it’s not
going to change. We like the place.”
“But you have to sell it
to me!”
Stepping back at the
ferociousness in his voice, Leath bit her lip.
“I have to have it.”
His apparent desperation caused
a sympathetic response from her. “I’m sorry.” She felt compelled to soften her
voice. “We’re not selling.”
“But you must.” He stretched out and would
have grabbed her arms if she hadn’t stepped back once more. “It’s ours
and I mean to have it back.”

So Anne, why Kris Kristoffersen songs?

Hi, thanks for having me stop by to visit with y'all today. Why Kris Krisoffersen? I'm not sure. I'm into country music and I just loved the stories his songs told. They were sad, challenging, hopeful, mournful, occasionally happy. I especially loved the ones he shared with Rita Coolidge. He visited NZ about 15 years ago and I was able to go see him - and Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings. I thought I was in Heaven lol
Hi, Anne! So you are a country music gal, kinda an old school one. That's way cool.
I loved your excerpt. I went wow!
Wishing you much success with your book.
Hi Anne,
I wish you much success with your book and thanks for being a guest on the PP Blog.
Hello! I'm a huge country music girl, too! Love the older stuff, George Strait, George Jones, Reba. I have all the country stations tuned in on my car radio, and sing along as I'm driving. Living in Texas, it's not hard to find a country station.
You book looks great, and the excerpt pulled me right into the story. Congratulations on your release, and wishing you many sales!
Hi Anne! Welcome to the PP blog! I loved the excerpt, it really pulled me into the story. Congrats on your release and I wish you many sales!!!
Hi Anne! Welcome to the PP blog today. I wish you much success with your book. The excerpt drew me in. Now I want to know why he wants the place so much!
I grew up in a country music house, but the very old (whiny) stuff. I'm like like Kathy - more of the Reba, Garth Brooks and George Strait type songs.
Still I prefer the 70's and some 80's pop. What can I say? I was in my 20's during the disco era!
Good morning, thank you for making me feel so welcome. My apologies for delay in responding, I'm just out of bed ready to face a new day. I loved travelling across the southern states from LA to Georgia earlier this year, all that country music, we don't usually have any on our radios. I'm so glad you liked my excerpt, its hard to choose a few words to entice a reader, I appreciate you all giving me a big tick in that box
Good excerpt!
Enjoyed your answers, and I'm a Mary Ann girl, too. (smiling) Just watched A Christmas In Connecticut, the remake with Kris Kristoffersen and Dyan Cannon. Unfortunately, he didn't sing in the movie, but he did show off some muscles! Best wishes on your book!
Thank you Beth and Ashantay, appreciate you stopping by and your comments
Hi Anne, I'm a Kris Kristofferson fan, too. He's written some great songs. I think my favourite is Help Me Make It Through the Night. Fun interview and best of luck with Leath's Legacy.
Anne,
I'm not a big country fan, but I do like some of his songs. Your book sounds great!
It's been great being with you guys, thanks so much for having me visit. I've enjoyed the interaction and hope I managed to bring a few new readers to your blog. Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a comment.
